I can imagine it because the world that they inhabit, you go through important iterations of story and lord knows when I’m turning my comic book pages, I don’t know what’s on the next page. I’m loving the comic book right now and that’s well ahead of where is at, and I look forward to telling those stories.Īs you talk about wanting to do all the larger stories that are coming in the comics and telling them through a season 12, can you imagine doing that without Andrew Lincoln? We want to tell this story and I think that’s going to take plenty more than 10 seasons.
And we have changed with it in a lot of ways.
#RICK THE WALKING DEAD DYING TV#
TV itself has changed as a medium from the time we started in another era in 2010. The comic is still going strong and we want to tell that story. It’s part of the package of the world we’ve all invested in. We take no joy in some of the pain that we put the audience through in keeping to the integrity of the story and what the characters go through. And it all works together in these little individual parts that feed the greater whole. I do wish folks would hear us when we are always trying to tell the best story. A lot of that stuff will have the spectrum of that conversation and that conversation can be thrilled, angry or scared. We do try to engage the audience’s imagination and want to put them in suspense and want them to wonder, think about and talk about things with each other. We’ve never gone into anything rubbing our hands and thinking, “Oh boy, we’re going to pull one over on the audience.” That’s not what we’re trying to do. You just have to put it out with a belief it’s part of a greater story, that it’s something that is cumulative and works all together. I don’t think we think about that too much. It’s very passionate in both directions there isn’t a lot of middle ground among fans of The Walking Dead. We are lucky to have a wide fan base and there are aspects of the show that people love and it’s interesting to see the stuff that people dig that other people don’t. Given the Glenn dumpster experience, do you worry about backlash after seeing this image of Rick? He’s lost a lot of blood and looks very pale … In my mind, that’s an extension of Carl but one could say that that is subject to interpretation. Is that timeline still part of Carl’s vision, or is that a fear of the future that a dying Rick has? This episode explained the “Old Man Rick” - that timeline was Carl’s vision of the future - but then there’s this vision of Negan with Judith in Alexandria. And it really sets it up for its next evolution. Everything toward the end of this season is charging toward a conclusion of who these people are going to be - or who they were - and in that way, it really concludes a huge swath of story for the show.
That has to do with how Rick evolves or doesn’t evolve and what he comes to Carl has left him with an idea that might not be so easy to embrace. I wouldn’t say if he was dying and I would be racing away from that topic. How will Rick’s words “my mercy prevails over my wrath” be explored in the second half? That sounds a lot like a theme for second half of the season. 'Walking Dead' Star Chandler Riggs: Carl Is "Going Out a Hero" This stuff is so far ahead that it’s a little bit just sort of planning for the future. Anything you do, you have to consider how it’s going to affect the different conclusions that you have in mind.
But the ending comes up a lot only in as much as all these little pieces kick in in the future. That’s a pretty clinical answer to your question about how much do we think about the ending. But everything we do has a butterfly effect for the future so you’re always thinking very far into the future about the stories. The only reason I bring that up is there’s no imminent plans for that at all - and I’m just talking overall endings. We really do hope to play out the story as the comics are playing out and we want it to be satisfying. As I’ve said in the past, there are so many different factors to it. Just because you’re telling a serialized story, you should have a good idea where you’re going. But in the same respect, we’re always keeping an eye on how everything ends. It’s really not something we’re talking about now.
