Well, I was right about the fact that a little name recognition goes a long way!
Will Wheaton's appearance on the Talking Dead tonight brought in a lot of traffic in here at wwwwd. 1226 hits in the last 3 hours to be precise. So I would be remiss not to write a short blurb celebrating the appearance.
This week Chris Hardwick welcomed Wil Wheaton, and Nick Gomez to the couch. The topic, what else but Season 3 Episode 2.
Gomez, who played Tomas in tonight's episode, had a lot of interesting anecdotes to share regarding the filming of the episode. It was also interesting that he was the secret cast member guest star tonight, since his character featured so heavily into the plot and action of the episode. Despite the fact that tonight's episode will be his last appearance on the show, he certainly left an impression. This is to be expected when you earn a machete to the skull from Rick Grimes!
It is apparent that Wheaton is a huge fan of The Walking Dead, as he seemed giddy to be on camera discussing the episode throughout the broadcast. He wasn't actually called on to answer questions very often by Hardwick, doing most of his talking later in the episode - specifically to offer a pretty insightful commentary on the potential duality of Rick's current mindset in regards to the events of tonight's episode, ie killing Tomas, and leaving Andrew to die. I also appreciated the take he had on Carl's actions this week, and I chuckled at the fact that he totally plugged Where's Carl (His own utube film) in his response.
To close out the episode Hardwick asked Wheaton which Star Trek Captain he would prefer to have by his side in the event of a zombie apocalypse. Wheaton's response: James T. Kirk, cause he'd kick more ass. I certainly can't disagree with that logic.But who would win in a fight? Rick Grimes or James Tiberius Kirk?
