This article contains spoilers about Sundays episode ofThe Walking Dead, Ghosts.
What does Carols breakdown mean moving forward?
And how about that big confrontation she had withAlpha?
Jackson Lee Davis/AMC
Read on for intel and answers.
And what are the things that can exacerbate that?
We just show wave after wave of zombies is coming.
Jackson Lee Davis/AMC
And they dont know whether it was the fire that would draw zombies.
So theres a very logical explanation there.
Or they know Alphas back, and is she sending waves of zombies so she can control the herd?
Jackson Lee Davis/AMC
Our people dont know that.
So were starting with that and were also starting with Carol.
It starts slow, and it builds and it builds until people are just barely on their feet.
And hopefully that gives the audience a feeling like, Oh, my God.
What time is it?
What day is it?
Lets talk about the meeting at the border.
Even when Carol takes the shot, Alpha got to her.
She got to Carol.
Carol can be a pretty cool cat too.
And thats all part of the game.
Its like part of this is all a show for her people too.
But she just keeps everybody off guard.
We have a big Negan outing here and its with Aaron.
That was the love of his life.
Well see that he still thinks about Eric all the time.
We just thought that was interesting for Aarons character, to show a different side of him.
And, by the end, they come to this very odd, uneasy state of understanding or partnership.
Whether or not that lasts, well see what happens next, and I hope people will watch.
But I love when those two guys get on screen together.
I think that theyre really compelling together.
Negan does take off at one point and leaves him there, maybe to die.
We always feel Negan is Negan.
Negan has certainly done a lot of things to have a go at redeem himself.
He certainly wants to be a member of the community.
Hes not a guy who likes being in a jail cell by himself.
Thats a terrible punishment for Negan.
He wants to be in the middle of the action.
And then he just lurks and he lets Aaron go through the worst of it before he steps in.
I think that really speaks to the duality of Negan.
Negan looks out for Negan, but that doesnt mean that there arent human instincts in there as well.
Youre also seeing the start of some pretty self-destructive behaviors in this episode.
So the season builds from there with her story.
So yeah, its a continuing story for us.
It has a lot of emotional depth from her character side.
Is this a dream?
Is it a dream within a dream?
And she doesnt know if what shes seeing is real.
He sees how shes struggling.
Hes doing the nice thing in saying he believes her.
Theres a lot of things that only she really saw and nobody has any proof of anything that happened.
Alright, let me ask you about another close pairing.
Rosita says to Eugene: You and I are never going to happen.
You are not Cocos father.
We are not together.
I need you to hear that.
Why do you have to break poor Eugenes heart?
[Laughs]Well, I thinkshesbreaking his heart.
Josh McDermitt does a great job playing this.
Hehasto realize that hes been a little clueless.
Shes been pretty like forthright and been pretty clear: This is a friendship, man.
Hes been carrying this torch.
You see Eugene break, and I think Josh plays the moment so, so wonderfully.
Its like that love quadrangle was never going to stand in one place.
Something had to shift.
He was just too much in their business.
Its just shuttingeveryonedown.Well, you never know.
Theres always a personal aspect to all of that too.
Its one of the two he did this season.
So, weve been bouncing back and forth.
We were at Oceanside, we really dealt with being out in the world.
Weve seen what the Whisperers are up to.
And Ive got to say, Michael has one of my favorite shots in the season.
Theres some cool stuff ahead.
