There seemed to be complaints among fans that the first season moved too slowly. In season two, are there more "event" episodes?
Robert Kirkman: It wasn't a conscious thing. I think season two is jam-packed - it's a bigger season. There is a lot going on. I don't know if I would necessarily agree with the season one criticism. We shoot a child at the start of every season.
What impressions have you gotten from social media? What do audiences want more of? What do they want less of?
RK: I think in general, people were very happy with the fact that we really focused on character.
Is it interesting to do your own "alternate reality" of your own comic?
RK: I think if we were to follow the comic exactly - and I think the comic is very good - it would bore me to watch the show as a fan, and know exactly what was going to happen. [I am paraphrasing so as not to give away any spoilers] Even if something happens in the comic book and the series, it might not happen in the same way. Even if you are a die-hard fan of the comic book, you aren't expecting it. That is, I think, the best of both worlds. It has the same flavor and tone of the comic book series, so fans definitely respond to the television series, but we're still able to pull the rug out from under them. I think one of the most appealing factors of the comic book series is that it is completely shocking, and you never know what is going to happen next.
