Neither Fringe or Walking Dead replaces Lost entirely, but both are excellent shows to help fill the void left by Lost.
Anyone else missing LOST?

You bet your sweet ass I miss Lost. Personally, it will go down as ne of my all time favorites despite the last season and finale. No other show besides DS9 and TNG, although I was only a mid back then had such a stranglehold on me. The intricacies of the mythos and the great characters had me so enthralled. Hopefully next pilot season there will be a show that can do that again. I still haven't seen the extra content yet since i'm waiting to get the complete set on blue ray.
Same here. To that extent, I do miss Lost. There's nothing on TV now that's even remotely as compelling, in any way. (That actually damns the show with faint praise, since just about everything on TV now is unwatchable crap, IMO.)
I enjoyed almost every episode of the final season and thought the finale was brilliant. In that sense, I don't miss Lost, because it ended in a way I found (almost) completely satisfactory.
I do and I don't. I loved the way the series wrapped up (though it wasn't perfect it was pretty damn close) and it feels like the story is complete. So I'm really not left wanting much more though I'd like to know more about what happened to the characters who survived but I don't need to see that I just want more Lost.
I do miss the anticipation of the next episode, the next season, what twist or turn is up coming next, trying to figure out just what in the hell is going on, the great writing and acting and Giacchino's brilliant music. It'll be weird next year not seeing promos for Lost and then not seeing new episodes. It'll be a weird few weeks in Feb. and March without a Lost season premiere there.
So far the only show doing that for me now is Fringe. And The Walking Dead to some extent. I was hoping that The Event would be the next Lost but it's a pale shadow in comparision. I do like The Event it's just not all that compellling.

No.
When it started, i liked it a lot. but by the end of season 1, i got the feeling the writers didnt really know what they were doing. but, stupidly, i stuck around. and it only got worse. the show i wanted to see, a show about people surviving on weird island, dropped the survival portion and focused on a very unfocused set of mysteries.

I'm watchign some tv rips of the final seaosn of the drew carey Show.
As an episode was ending, 9.24 (0f 9.26) when there's a voice over radio sync dude who says, said, just said "IN JUST THREE WEEKS! THE PHENOMENON OF THE SEASON!!! THE PREMIER OF LOST!!"
Wow.
Time is fucking with me.

My thoughts exactly. The ending ruined the entire series for me.
I think they needed to find themselves and find each other, so the ending didn't bother me. I thought it was fitting. But I figured out early on that the story wasn't really about people getting off an island, or island mysteries being solved.
I thought Ashes to Ashes ended near perfectly. admittingly, I prefered where LOM ended things, but Ashes to Ashes still had a good finale. Both series are instant classics in my book, and I'm saddened these shows hardly get any play here in the U.S.
I liked lost, but I wasn't a huge fan. I haven't missed it. I really miss 24, but a movie in the works really has a way of making you feel better about that.

That's funny!
What's really sad is that they never got enough time to build up to the reveal of the whole show being Walt's dream during the flight.
And I second it.

I didn't build it up in my head. I'm too old to do that.
They just needed to pick an ending and go with it...not just run out the clock.
Also, there are different kinds of stories.
Take Star Trek...it doesn't need to have an ending or conclusion in the grand sense because it truly is a show about a journey. There will always be another star to sail to.
A murder mystery cannot do that. It must have an ending that provides some concrete answers.
Lost is more like the second kind. It had definite questions it would bring up. It tried the old bait and switch at the end and went for more of an All Good Things... end.

I think Lost is more like the first kind, and it wasn't very far into its run that I started to think that, so they did do something to communicate that notion to me. It wasn't just an accidental impression based on nothing. Lost is a personal journey for those specific characters; the mythology is secondary.
