That nod to The Walking Dead in Breaking Bad’s gory season finale was genius.
That was entirely AMC. They had that planned, but actually kept all of us in the dark. We just knew that [Walking Dead special makeup effects artist] Greg Nitocera and some of his team were going to be in Albuquerque on Breaking Bad, that he was creating some effect for them.
The victim, Gus Fring, looked like a cross between Two-Face and the Terminator, which is interesting, because you produced some Terminator films.
[Giggles.] There are multiple homages in there, I guess.
There’s been a lot of curiosity about this season for obvious reasons. We know new executive producer Glen Mazzara has a pedigree [The Shield, Hawthorne], but what makes him a good replacement for Frank Darabont?
Well, Glen wrote the fifth episode last season. So that was as we were finding our feet — we were really lucky. He wasn’t available last season, so he just did that freelance episode.

Season 2 premiere was awesome.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love Walking Dead and I root for Rick, Darryl, and Jon as the most competent and focused survivors of the men. I can't say I like Laurie at all she seems to be the useless type of do nothing woman that plays one alpha male - Shane against another, her husband Rick, in order to get want she wants. She actually said she didn't how she felt about scavenging in the cars on the highway. They are struggling to survive and she has ethics about taking supplies from the dead for her child. Well she didn't have any moral qualms about sleeping with Shane. The other women at least were working on the day to day survival chores while Laurie was sneaking off to have sex with Shane. She even made fun of Andrea because she was finding mushrooms for the group. And Andrea and Amy both caught fish for the group. I don't know what either Rick or Shane see in Laurie.
