Everyone is talking about The Walking Dead’s bloody mid-season finale. Before the show even returns, Robert Kirkman is offering some spoilers for the second half, as well as preview of the new characters we will be seeing. WARNING MAJOR SPOILERS FOLLOW
The Walking Dead just concluded the first half of its bloody new season. The show’s creator, Robert Kirkman, recently spoke with Entertainment Weekly, where he spilled the beans on just why Hershel had to die:
“He was the moral compass of the group and it's always good to lose the moral compass. It will all become clear when we finally show you the back half of season 4. It wasn't enough for these characters to lose the prison. They also had to feel some kind of loss over something important and Hershel was that thing that was important to each and every character, so it made the most sense to take him off the table and see how it affects the characters, which we'll see when we come back in a bit. So there's a lot of cool stuff ahead because of that.”
Even more horrific is what might've happened to baby Judith. Kirkman also spoke about the possible fate of the infant:
“Well, she's not in that car seat. I mean, there might be some of her in that car seat, but you know, the majority of her is not there. That's another big unknown that we'll have to find out about when we come back. She could be dead. She could be maimed. She could be fine. We'll just have to find out.”
He also talked about what will happen now that the group is scattered:
“We definitely have a lot of individual stores and I would not expect the group to be getting reunited as quickly as they did at the end of season 2. Or possibly ever. So there’s definitely a lot of unknowns going into the back half of this season. We’ll just have to see if they come together It’s entirely possible that there will be some parts of that group that just don’t quite make it back.”
Now that the gang has left the prison, comic fans can finally expect to see some of their favorite characters. Kirkman put fanboys at ease when he spoke about introducing Abraham, Eugene, and Rosita:
“I can say that their introduction will be somewhat similar to how they were introduced in the comic, which I think is a very cool thing. I'm always pushing for big changes between the comic and the show, but when there is a good, natural process to adapt things directly, we do that from time to time to keep people guessing, so we will see a bit of that in their introduction. I think the main thing to look at is that these are some very interesting and dynamic and explosive characters that will be breathing some new life into the show, which is something that all of our new characters do. They're going to be pushing things in new directions. So they will definitely be an X factor that changes the dynamic of the show quite a bit. There's cool things ahead with them.”
The Walking Dead returns for the second half of the fourth season on February 9, 2014.
