As promised, I wanted to jot down my two cents about Kevin Smith's appearance on Talking Dead this week, and his thoughts on episode 9 of Season 3 of The Walking Dead.
I always appreciate Kevin's unique brand of humour, and colourful commentary. Hearing that he has nicknames for all of the regular Walking Dead characters, like calling Carl "Wyatt Twerp" really made my day.
As a Director, Kevin also had some interesting insight about the way the makers of The Walking Dead really ratchet up the conflict, while maintaining a naturalistic humanist approach to their subject matter.
On the flip side, Steven Yeun was very Glenn-centric in all of his answers, which I understand, and Glenn is a favourite character of mine...but sometimes I am looking for some more generalized info as opposed to having the guest star answer every question with: Well Glenn has really been through a lot lately and that leads him to be motivated to react like this in regards to that stimulus. I totally get that he is under a big gag clause not to reveal any information about un-aired episodes, but it felt a little insight into the filming process or interactions with other cast members would have been appreciated.
Finally, I really dig the new One hour format for the show, and all of the extra interactions that it allows. I hope they keep it.
