Most viewers were disappointed with the first half of The Walking Dead season 2. Now let’s see what the producers promised for the second half.
The producers and cast of “The Walking Dead” met the Television Critics Association for the first time in the show’s history this weekend. AMC presented a panel for the 250+ press organization, and some select intimate roundtable interviews for genre. Robert Kirkman, Glen Mazzara, Gale Anne Hurd, Greg Nicotero, Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride spoke with us about the second half of the second season.
But first we addressed what some consider to be a decline in the show’s quality since original show runner Frank Darabont was unceremoniously let go. In his absence, the story has lingered on a search for missing girl Sophia, with search headquarters at Hershel Greene’s farm…
“I think if they didn’t have that moment of calm where we got to know our characters a little bit better and we kind of got a sense that things were looking pretty good for them, this farm was a great place for them to be,” Kirkman said. “You have to build up what they have before you can take it away. That’s really what makes the story more interesting.”
Certainly the payoff of the walkers in the barn, and the final reveal of Sophia’s fate ended the half season with a bang. “We will resolve these storylines,” Hurd promised. “Certainly people earned that resolution, earned that reveal. The farm has allowed us to develop the characters because it’s not a constant threat. They’re not always on the run. The dynamics among the members of the group are beginning to fester and beginning to build to a climax.”
