Robert Kirkman: My biggest mistake in “The Walking Dead” was …
Robert Kirkman, author of “The Walking Dead” and producer of the TV adaptation, has told the phrase he mostly regretted in the history of his zombier series.
Kirkman told “Thr” that he had subsequently designed the “CDC episode”, the final of the first season. In the episode, the doctor Edwin Jenner (Noah Emmerich) whispers a gruesome truth in the main character Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln): Every person who is still alive carries the zombie virus for a long time. So if you die, regardless of the death, you will be resurrected as a living body.
In the comic template, the secret about the virus only comes to light after many volumes, and by decisions by other figures. When Tyreese’s daughter (who does not occur in the series) and then rises again as a zombie, Rick Grimes opens up the process by himself.
“I could have done that again,” said Kirkman, “I would have chosen another solution. We had revealed too much early.”
Likewise, Kirkman continues, he regrets another chat from Dr. Jenner: That the French would already work on a kind of anti-virus against the zombies. “In the comics, I have always placed great importance not to reveal what is happening in other parts of the world.”
