the
this guy I want to start with you
even the showrunner now on walking dead for three seasons
striker the I'm starting my third regulations and you now
midway through the current fifth season which a lot of viewers and critics
regard is maybe the best
season at the show has ever done I this year though involves a lot I've
different camps and characters lineup locations criss-crossing storylines
so can you talk a little bit about how how you prepare for an organiza- season
as complicated as the one that where
if we're currently this show has
incredible source material which we draw on pretty
directly so what i'm saying is the way I approach it
is the most expensive fanfiction I
I read the comics thinking like oh I wonder who's going to get to figure that
out that guy
yeah tough job ahead I'm or or like 00 should post this to the forum
no I won't I might become the showrunners I
so the thing that always struck me about the the comic book which I think we're
trying it only get as well is the fact that it is this story
that you follow this man who is the person Mia the one order
and he's the embodiment law and order and you going this extraordinary journey
the through this desperate hell and realize that
you can have on his side and the in the thing about Rick
but I love is that he said there's a certainty in him the people follow
that's one of his strengths it's also one of his weaknesses as well because
he's defying
within but what happens is people stand behind someone in desperate times
no when this certain now what is intriguing to me is that there are
morally ambiguous
decisions that he makes and
I think that that's the the thing that hooks me into the stories that
you start going way he's just been the guys throw doubt but it's for his son
you know in
I because it's up to because I i Colts got up and i won
you know we've we've always been
really responsible with the violence on this show I
as a line in the sand all we overstepping I
and he said which party you talk yeah
I I was like the neck but a
but but actually when we came to shoot the scene
you know like most things that
you know he writes it made complete sense and
as long as it was grounded in something incredibly powerful inhumane
you can do things that are terribly inhumane in the show
and possibly thats the kinda just a position that really
and gets people's juices flowing
at I and landed there
I this is a a relationship that's been forged against all odds in
you know this crucible and violence in arm again
I mean are Glenn and Maggie basically doomed law
I didn't know that was gonna that way I however like this
yeah I'm hitting you with my
my real gun I you know I know
that's a tough one i think thats that is the question that
remains unanswered I think that is the question that
on that we're exploring at this point not necessarily just
their relationship but what is your constant
I'm hold on him and he do to you
can you persevere in this world with that
typeof mentality I'm will ultimately loving someone
bring you down and be the downfall for the both the view
on and I think everyone responds differently
on the spectrum and just just like any said you know
he's gonna tear out someone's throat for his son
on we don't know the measures to which Glen
would go to protect Maggie
we know the measures that he would go to go find her again I'm
in and i think thats that's the question that we're gonna see
as we go further is is really exploring
where these characters lie
where where the moral compass is well with the media have as this world
continues to batter them
over and over and over on days when you're perhaps not sinking your teeth
into
somebody else's neck but let's see if you pick up a call sheet use discover
I'll you know any other day which I get to participate in some kind of
zombie killing moment and you look forward to those days are those exciting
more exciting days in I
yeah can repeal there's there's some stuff I mean like an
lol at the same split but like their stuff that comes up
in the snow second half where like a
we had a talent we had fun just choreographing you really I'm gonna do
this
and then you can come in and do this the when he falls Alcala jump on top and
then I'll do that is like
we like were idiots
yeah over here from I a smiling
excellent was so happy to Like hack n slash because
heck it's like its you know you know what you know was agree memory
is a it's already aired but it was
episode for by when we're hiding out in the woods
for the hunters to come back I'll and knock on our door
that would be the 33 3 yes
I'm sorry I didn't got a little I
a guy who doesn't watch the show only act how I I
but we're hiding out in the woods and
we are all there is literally cops and robbers yeah
in turns around to me is like States
