the last sentence there is the issue. Its unfair to judge the story on comparisons to our world. That's an issue for the reader, not the author. There's been enough of a separation of the two throughout the story (in my eyes) to make that a non issue.
I disagree:
"Zombies suck in the story because zombies don't exist in our world": that's judging the story in comparison to our world.
What people are saying instead has been very circumstantiated. Everything Litmaster quotes is not an issue because it's internally consistent: biological experimentation cannot, in our world, cause people to become enormous, jump high etc (yet). Who cares? In the story world, it can. Now it seems it can teach you a language. That's different because it's not a question of growing more muscles but a question of connecting your neurons in a specific way valid for you and you only to make you understand a new language. Personally, I think this is just what it seems but we'll see it's something else, so basically we just have to wait.
Besides: the fact this is an issue for a certain amount of people (i.e. not one person only) already makes it an issue for those people, even if they can't quite point the finger at why or you can't quite dispel the issue for them. To take another example, KC said he can't understand the hatred some fans feel towards CJ, but the fact remains his script and his cut and his show has generated hatred towards CJ, whether he or we can or can't explain why.
another problem, and this will sound like criticism...is KC is far too accessible and answers too many questions. What little hs said about this chapter so far(in my opinion) he shouldn't have. It goes into a lot of my feelings on why LOST got the hate it did for the ending. The creators coloring the fans opinion outside the show material.

I'm done for now. This little keyboard sucks when you have a lot to say..
I'm with you on both things. On the LOST question, I'm not sure what "The creators coloring the fans opinion outside the show material" means, but if it means they added stuff from the forums to make the fans happy, that's more of what happened on BSG, not on LOST. But that's for the Everything Else section perhaps
