The bad news: This Sunday’s new episode of The Walking Dead is the last new episode we’ll be seeing until Season 3 starts in October. The good news? It looks like it’s going to be an excellent episode. Sorry, no screeners were made available for an advance review, but based on the TV spot we posted here earlier this week, and what you’re about to read, I’m getting ready for a lot of onscreen goodness.

As we posted earlier today, beyond the really excellent information showrunner Glen Mazzara shared with us about the virus, he spoke with a lot of other reporters and had quite a few interesting insights to offer, as well as some good news, and some things that make us nervous. Darryl? T-Dog?

Ready for lots of quotes to dissect for the minutest hint of what’s to come, this Sunday and beyond? Let’s get started.

Episode 212, Better Angels

As to whether he was surprised about the amount of chatter caused by Shane’s zombification:

Glen Mazzara: Well yes, obviously we’re all very excited about how much buzz the show is getting, that’s great and that’s always sort of mind blowing, you know, that’s really been taking us all by storm. But we worked hard to make sure that that revelation landed – we knew what we were doing there. We knew that it was going to land a punch and that story’s constructed in such a way that it does land a punch.

You know, that, you know, I’ll say, you know, the fact that we revealed Randall before that so that people were not completely baffled or thrown off when Shane rises. You know, that there – we built to that and we spend a lot of time crafting that story on the page.

He was asked by Popstar whether the flashes we saw as Shane was dying were meant to be reminiscent of what happened with Jim in season 1:

Glen Mazzara: It’s a callback, it’s something that, you know, we had to decide how to tell that story and I was thinking … where is the horror here? And the horror is that Shane – one of our main characters, we’ve never had main character become a zombie to this extent, okay. So that was something that I really wanted to put the audience in there and cut to Shane’s POV and so those pops represent what is the storm that is perhaps in Shane’s brain.

We’ve cut it that way so that, you know, people think that episode is over and then all of a sudden it’s not and you don’t know, “Am I watching a commercial or promo – what the hell, oh my god, what’s going on,” and it really makes you lean in to the rest of that episode. So that was something that is important to me to use certain things coming from horror films because I always do want this show to be considered a horror story first and now it’s just a good way to own that.

He admitted that there have been planned misdirects:

Glen Mazzara: One of the things that I think we’ve been doing is there are a lot of misdirects in the show as well. And so we really want our viewers to lean in and to sort of have a real experience while they’re watching the show. This is not a show that I believe you can watch passively, this is a show where people are on the edge of the seat, people are excited, they’re sitting there with their friends and their family and screaming at each other.

And that’s something that we want, so we do put these misdirections, we put bread crumbs in. We are I think very, very interested in making sure that (viewers) have a satisfying experience. With that, you know, we don’t want to give everything away, but we also don’t want to confuse the audience. We are interested in giving answers to people, so we tease them along and we want to pay off and give answers to our audience, and then pose new questions. That’s how we think we keep people engaged; we’re not interested in just jerking the audience around.

The Season 2 Finale

THR noted that there’s been a lot of bloodshed already this season, and asked if we’ll get more in the finale: “There’s more bloodshed coming, I will say that. You know, these characters have felt that they are safe on this farm, they’ve been wrong, they’ve been looking for a safe place to hide and I guarantee you there will be bloodshed.

SFX asked if season 2 would end with a cliffhanger:

Glen Mazzara: I will guarantee that people will watch this finale and want to know what comes next. And I think a lot of the die hard fans will say, “I can’t wait for October,” I guarantee it. There are things that are clearly setting up stories, moving ahead and there’s also a nice payoff to some of the emotional stories that then open up new story lines for Season 3. So we – this finale is definitely – people are going to have a lot of questions in a good way when, you know, it cuts to black.

TV Line asked if the group would be a little calmer now, less at each others’ throats, now that the dissenting voices of Dale and Shane are gone:

Glen Mazzara: Let me say that that plays out in an interesting way in the finale. You know, that comes up, you’ll see we do address that and I think that plays out in a very surprising way in the finale, so you’ll definitely have an answer, but it won’t be the answer that you would expect.

Whoa, what does that mean?

In discussing the zombie kills that may or may not happen in the finale, Mazzara had this very interesting insider information to share:

Glen Mazzara: We didn’t not have zombies in other episodes to have more zombies in – in the finale. That was not the case. We, you know, had zombies as we felt that that was necessary for our story, you know.

And so then to talk about Greg, Greg was very, very involved in – in, you know obviously all of the zombies in the finale, and I can’t say what specific scene, but this is interesting. I’m happy to answer this question after you guys hear the finale.

But there was – there’s an event in the finale that we were talking about something and Greg said, “Let’s use what Robert did in the comic book.” So there was a – another event in the comic book that then we adapted — and Greg pointed it out — so we sort of had a theme that we were working on. The scene wasn’t really working, it didn’t have the juice, and Greg said, “Well Robert just did something in the comic book that really shocked us.” So he said, “Great, we’ll steal that.” and we put it into the show.

So it’s different characters, it’s a different scenario, but it really was – what was great was we had this treasure trove of Robert Kirkman’s work and Greg was the one who said, “Let’s do this,” and then, you know, we just – we just wrote it up and shot it.

So that was a great way where the whole walking dead team came together to sort of solve a particular story problem in the finale. And I think it’s – it’ll be hopefully an iconic moment. It certainly is a standout moment.

WHAT IS IT?!!!! GAH!

Comic Books and the Series

He was asked how much the comic books continue to be used as source material for the show:

Glen Mazzara: Yes that’s a great question, thank you. You know, there are characters (or) stories that are in Robert Kirkman’s book that we’re excited about writing for Season 3 and seasons beyond, so we take that material as inspiration, but we have to put our own twist on it. So we do our own thing – Robert, you know, is here, we’re all fans of the book and Robert obviously an executive producer and writer on the show so he’s involved in all these creative decisions. And we’re all excited about writing this material, so I think one of the things that I really wanted to focus on is to get closer to the spirit of the comic book.

I think, you know, it is visual, it is shocking, it is exciting, it is a page turner and that’s something that I think we’ve really wanted to get closer to so that it’s a more faithful adaptation, at least spirit-wise, not necessarily story-wise.

Daily Dead asked if the deaths of characters on the show vary from the comic book deaths deliberately:

Glen Mazzara: Well we’re very aware of our – the comic book audience. We’re aware of those fans and, you know, if you look at Shane’s death in the comic book, Carl shoots human Shane and Rick executes zombie Shane, and we had the reverse. And we thought that was a nice playful twist to still orchestrate a scene but in a way that a comic book fans would be surprised. That’s something that we intend to do, you know, as we start using some of the more famous storylines from The Walking Dead comic book.

We realize fans have an expectation of certain material and we realize that, you know, fans might get frustrated if we deviate too much for material – we’re still going to own it, we’re going to do it our way, in a way that makes sense in the rules of our world. So, you know, we give you the TV version inspired by the events of the comic book and we hope that, you know, fans enjoy it because we, you know, we ourselves are fans of the comic book and we sort of feel like we get to play with all this material that Robert Kirkman‘s created. So it’s great, it’s fun, it’s something that we take very seriously, you know, it is something that we really give a lot of consideration to.

Roamers and Lurkers asked him to discuss how they approach the death of a character on the series, compared to Robert Kirkman’s ability to kill a character in the comics whenever he wants to:

Glen Mazzara: Well, we’re not afraid to kill characters. We – we’ve been doing it. You know, by the – by the time at the end of the finale, you know, in the past six episodes we’ll have more deaths than – than number of episodes. You know, I won’t tell you what those numbers are, but you know, if you count up all the deaths we’re – we’re certainly, you know, on a good killing spree right here.

But you have to build to it. You have to anticipate it, you arc to it, you design it. Because again, we want to have it land emotionally for the audience, have it land emotionally for our characters, and propel the story forward.

So, you know, I know Robert is a little more immediate — oh, I feel this is right, let me just kill this character — we don’t, we can’t necessarily do that. We need to build to it, and then make sure that it – it propels the story forward coming out of it. So and that’s just part of the process of TV. That’s just something that – but it’s all story-based.

It’s all about the story and the character. We don’t have – to be honest, we don’t really have other concerns. I know that there are, you know, fans have their favorites and obviously there’s all this other stuff going with the TV, but we are really, really focused on telling the most exciting, surprising, compelling, emotionally-rewarding story that we can.

And that is – that is paramount and when we, you know, are working on our Season Three arc and we are putting that forward to AMC, and AMC hears some of the stuff that’s planned, they’re very surprised, but everyone is agreed that this is the best possible story. So really are story-driven here.

Daily Dead asked about the number of zombies per episode, and whether the variation was meant to appeal to all manner of fans. Mazzara’s reply touched the intent to have the threat more clear, and on that lone zombie we (and Shane) saw walking in the field in episode 210:

Glen Mazzara: Yes, you know, it’s not that we’re just interested in throwing in more zombies to have more zombies, I think this world has got has been overrun. You know, we in our minds, you know, this virus sort of started in the cities and now our heroes were sort of just escaping the ways – they were just, you know, running out of Atlanta, they got to this farm and now we think, you know, okay that entire, you know, tsunami of death is just catching up to everybody. And so the entire world is more permeated by zombies, you know, that’s indicated in a literal way and just that zombie in the field, that Shane sees through the window. You know, there’s a metaphorical meaning to that zombie, but there’s a literal one – just they’re everywhere, you know. So that’s something that’s important, but we don’t just want to throw zombies at the audience every week because we do feel we would lose a part of the casual audience.

What’s important I think, again, is to have an emotional punch for each of our story lines, but also to make sure that our zombies are scary — to make sure that they are threatening. I think part of the – I think part of the feedback of the farm – sort of playing slower, or perhaps boring in the first half of the season, was really just that it felt too safe.

And I think that now in the back half it’s not necessarily that the zombies are everywhere, you know, although they’re getting closer and closer, it’s just that the world feels less safe. The fact that we’ve introduced human characters. The fact that, you know, your best friend is trying to kill you. It just – it’s just – it’s just amped up in a way that the world doesn’t feel safe and that is important to us. We do – with that – and that’s – it’s those things where there is suspense where you don’t know where the danger is. It could be anywhere. That’s what I think works well on our show as far as keeping people on the edge of their seats.

Specific Characters

Hollywood.com asked him to talk about Carl’s journey:

Glen Mazzara: I think there’s a process, let’s not forget that these last few episodes are taking place, you know, really within I think within a week and a half or two weeks of the Sophia incident, you know and that was a huge event for everyone. So I think he’s raw, I think he’s trying to find a place, you know, he is still a boy. I think that when he’s walking along in the woods, you know, that’s just, you know, Huck Finn in the woods and he comes across a zombie, he’s throwing rocks at him and stuff, you know, he’s very much a boy there.

And then, you know, that results in Dale’s death and that really racks him. We got a lot of mileage out of Dale’s death where, you know, his initial reaction is to withdraw, his father hands him the gun, so I think there’s an (ark) there – to me it’s tracking, it’s making sense. And I think that it’s a process of him growing up in this world, you know, whereas everyone else is trying to hold on to the pre-apocalyptic world, Carl is quickly forgetting it. And Lori and Rick are at different levels of recognizing that, but I think Lori recognizes it more than Rick.

But it’s a problem for them because Carl if he survives will grow up in a world and probably, you know, the pre-apocalyptic world will just be a very distant memory. So I think that it’s not only a question of Carl growing up, but Carl growing up and forgetting what came before.

When he was asked how relationships will change without the lynchpins of Shane and Dale, Mazzara replied that the focus is really Rick:

Glen Mazzara:  I’m very interested in focusing on Rick, Rick is the leader of the group and I think that this season has always been to Rick dealing with questions of leadership. When we meet him at the beginning of Episode 1, he’s on the rooftop and here’s a guy, he’s lost in zombie land and he’s screwed and it’s a question of, you know, what does he do with these people. And we’ve had different obstacles that he’s had to face both personal and marital and, you know, the world around him and zombies and all of that.

So I think that, you know, all of this if you look these steps they really have to, you know, how are we focusing the show on Rick and how are we developing his character? And all of this stuff I think led to a very, very decisive act where Rick kills Shane, you know that’s one thing people talk about Shane being killed off, well Rick kills Shane.

Rick took action in a very big way and so that’s a statement that I think we’re saying about our main character, that he’s evolving as a person and a leader and as life becomes more difficult, what is he willing to do. That killing was a lot messier then the killing in bar.

Zap2It mentioned that Lori has been a particularly unpopular character amongst many, and asked if killing a pregnant woman would be out of bounds for the show:

Glen Mazzara: I will say this, there’s – if it’s earned, and it’s character-based, and it propels the story forward, nothing is over the line for us. But (Dale’s) death propelled the story forward in a big way, even Lori going out to talk to Shane — she’s obviously rattled by Dale’s death. You now, she’s trying to get her house in order. So Dale’s death, you know, propels us forward. Shane’s death propels us forward, you know. So there’s – so we have certain criteria for any death and I will honestly say that no character is safe — that we have examined at different times killing every character. No one is safe on this show.

The New York Daily News asked if the decision to have Rick kill Shane instead of Carl, as he did in the comic books, marks the intent to have Carl be not as bad-ass as he is in the comics:

Glen Mazzara: Oh well, we do want to see Carl grow into that bad-ass. You know, Shane’s death really became about Rick taking action. That’s a very, very personal death. So the – my paramount concern was our lead character — Rick.

You know, and here’s a guy — his best friend Shane — who he’s given every opportunity to. You know, they beat the hell out of each other two episodes prior. He even gives him a gun and says, you know, you need to find your way back. He’s overlooking the fact that there has been this affair.

He’s really given this guy every chance to repent and the fact that Shane is leading him out to his murder, you know, Rick has had enough. Rick has to take action, and so that murder became about Rick and we realize that there were concerns about, you know, well this is different from the comic book. Obviously, Carl shoots him in the comic but we did not want Rick to be passive and just watch his son kill Shane. We did not think that that was the right story. It would have had to be Rick’s story.

BuzzFocus asked if Chandler Riggs (Carl) would have a bigger part to play in season 3:

Glen Mazzara: Oh we do have a strong story line for him in Season Three. We do. I think we are very interested in showing how he is growing up in this world, the tension that leads between him and rest of the group.

And yes, I think Chandler has done a fantastic job and has really brought this character to life in a way that works I did about writing. So yes, I think that he has – he certainly will be featured.

He also had some interesting things to say about Andrea, moving forward:

Glen Mazzara: Yes, you know I think what’s interesting is that Andrea is a unique point of connection of Dale and Shane, you know, and we talk about that – that moral voice being lost, and Andrea connected with Dale. I think that she may not have agreed with Dale’s argument, but she’s the one who stood by Dale in that jury scene in episode 211. So there’s a voice of conscience there that she is – is affected by him. We see that she’s – she’s the one who really quietly is – she and Glen at the RV are mourning Dale. So that – that’s a very very strong connection that I think she has – has in a sense internalized that voice.

She also, though, does agree with Shane. She thinks his – perhaps his methods were wrong, she tells him, “You could use a lighter touch.” But we do see that she does side with Shane in a lot of ways and we’ve even seen in this past episode where she stands up to Rick and says, “Well maybe you shouldn’t leave the – the farm.” You know when he says, “Hell breaks loose every time I leave the farm.”

So that character is really, you know, those forces that we’re saying that they’re gone, you know, one of the other journalists said, “Well those voice are gone.” I would argue that’s not the case, that they’re not internalized in one of our lead characters. So that’s a good arc, so if she makes it out of 13, it’ll be interesting to see what she does.

BuzzFocus asked about the ambiguity of Shane’s decisions and actions:

Well I’ve always said that, you know, Shane is – has been right in a lot of his calls — you know, breaking open the barn, you know, I point that out. He’s the guy who technically found Sophia. So he has been right. I do think, however though, he’s a very, very flawed character. He lacks Rick’s humanity and compassion.

And that’s a question, what is the role of humanity in this world?

And, you know, from Lori’s perspective, I think Lori would love for – to have a man who has traits of both men — of both Rick and Shane.

So it’s tricky and I think that, you know, Rick – for Rick to commit the murder that he did, in a way he was – he was pushed to it. He was trying to blame Shane for it. “You put this knife in my hand,” but he’s the man who took action.

So he’s really in a sense, you know, I hate to use the word “infected” because that implies the virus and all of that, but I think that you see that — you’re Shane’s character has certainly infected Rick’s. Again, not implying that there’s a viral infection going on here. But you see that Rick is certainly at the end there has a shade of Shane in him. So I think that that’s important moving forward.

GeekOut asked if there is a possibility that Darryl will become a sort of second-in-command. In his reply, Mazzara disturbingly used the term “If he survives the finale…”:

Glen Mazzara: Well, I’ll say this, you know, if he survives the finale, okay, I would certainly lean on that character heavily. I think Norman’s done a fantastic job. He is – his is someone – he – and that character, as you know, is not established in the comic books. So – so and – and Norman has really brought that character to life.

What I’m very happy with is, you know, that character’s arc in the season that he has, you know, took on this quest to find Sophia. He failed. I think he questioned whether or not he was – he ever had a chance. He withdrew from the group and now he’s – he’s plugged in – in interestingly through violence. You know, we see him beating Randall. We see that is able emotionally disconnect and put down Dale to do what even Rick hadn’t done.

So yes, he is a viable leader. He is a viable number two, there’s certainly not the personal baggage that Shane had, so I do think that, you know, moving ahead — if he survives the finale — that that would be a character that would – would play a prominent role. You know, Daryl is the character that is in a sense pre-adapted to the apocalyptic world, and he seems to be the most qualified to survive.

THR did, thankfully, ask about T-Dog, and Mazzara gives a really interesting answer, one I wish they had made clearer in the episodes. He also says he won’t talk about his fate in the finale:

Glen Mazzara: I will say this, okay; I will say that T-Dog fans will be happy to see some terrific stuff from IronE Singleton in the finale. I will say that, okay.

I won’t talk about his fate or moving ahead, but I think that that is a great character and part of our thinking is — and this has not been translated okay, and this might be something that comes out at some point — is if you look at T-Dog’s statements at the beginning where he realizes that he is very much an outsider within this group, and he doesn’t trust anybody. In our minds – in our internal logic he’s very very smart in that he keeps his mouth shut.

He’s not drawing anyone’s attention. He’s not drawing anyone’s ire, and his agenda has been to survive, and he doesn’t trust any of these people. So we actually, and I’m not just rationalizing something, that – that there was an intention here of why this guy was quiet. He’s just kind of playing it – now maybe we could have filmed it differently, or played it better, maybe that’s not – maybe we’re dying with our secret, but in our mind this guy is a kind of, you know, playing everything close to the vest.

So you’ll see some, you know, he certainly did a great job in this past episode. In the finale there’s some reason to love T-Dog and – but there is a method to our madness here.

PLEASE DON’T KILL T-DOG.

The Future

Mazzara was asked by TVLine if what we learn in the finale will be the last time the “nuts and bolts” of how the virus works will be a topic. He replied that, like in the comic books, the group won’t have access to that information, and so their primary concern is how to survive:

Glen Mazzara: So, you know, we’ll answer some questions and then always have other questions, but it’s actually more exciting when our characters don’t know what’s going on and don’t know if they’ll ever be safe again.

He was also asked how they may be handling human on human violence, going forward:

Glen Mazzara: Actually those – yes there have been those conversations and those conversations have taken place within the writers room, really, you know, where we’re finding our own way. Those are questions that I’ve faced with Sean and Kirk and the writers on The Shield and we have to be careful that – not to show any human on human violence in a gratuitous way. I think if you look at the show these past few episodes we really earned those moments of violence.

We try to make them as heartbreaking as possible and that’s where the show lives. We’re not here for shock value, that’s not what we’re delivering and that’s not – that’s just not my intention. So I think that you have to pick those moments and I’ll admit we have – when we’ve looked ahead, we do have very shocking, graphic moments, but they’re all earned and they’re all – they’ll all mean something. I think the deaths and the acts of violence in this world play real, you know, this isn’t just a shoot-um-up kind of western. And they have consequences for our characters, they really, you know, our characters feel the weight of those actions.

So that’s something that’s important and it’s really a writer’s choice – it’s something that the writers and the producers come together and really feel our way through.

SFX also asked about the pacing of season 3, and Mazzara replied that internally they were surprised about the feedback that season 2 was slow:

Glen Mazzara: That’s a great question, thank you. I am very interested in keeping the pace up, I think that I’m very proud of the work we did in the first half of Season 2 and I’m very proud of those episodes and I’ll admit I was surprised that people thought that they played slow. I did not think they played as slow as some of the feedback seems to have indicated, I’ll admit that surprised us here internally.

That being said, it was always my intention to sort of amp up the pace when we knew we were rushing to a great finale and I think that our episodes have been better crafted as having a beginning, middle and hopefully a great punch at the end. So that’s something that I think is important to The Walking Dead. I think we’ve cracked it, I’m very happy with story telling and the density of these episodes and now that we have – know, you know, what a very successful episode feels like, that’s something that we’re really, really working on.

We still have slower episodes, we still will have character felt episodes that, you know, this is not something where again that we would ever go to just gratuitous shock value – this is the story about characters we care about. But I do think that the pacing for the Season 3 is – really feels like freight train.

CNN.com asked him if the season 2 finale will mark the end of the farmhouse setting for the group. He replied with what gave me the most cheer of any of his answers:

Glen Mazzara: Yes like I said, you know, yes – questions are answered, things are – and propelled forward in a big way okay, you know, that we’re moving forward. We’re really not interested in going in and filling in back story, you know, our characters are, you know, at the end of Episode 212, you know, that herd of walkers are coming over that hill and our guys are on the run. And I think that I would love to see our characters always on the run after that, I think that makes for a dynamic kinetic show and a very, very frightening one. And that’s something that, you know, I think just brings a great energy and suspense to the material.

Yay, more action!

Daily Dead also asked if Mazzara has an end game in mind, and a way that he wants to introduce new characters, and if that is something he is always keeping in mind when writing:

Glen Mazzara: It is. At the end of the second season I sat down and I wrote sort of a – a, you know, a big – a – you know, a big paper on what I wanted season three to be, and what characters we were introducing, what story lines, and just what it should fell like in inspirations and all of that. And I shared that with the writing staff so that they could think about it over Christmas, I was still working on post for season two.

And then they came back and we used the spirit of it all and as everybody started contributing and this thing became that thing, and things started evolving and morphing, and changing, it just got a thousand times better. But that document that I wrote really does, you know, bring us into season four and I’ve spoken with Robert on what I feel is the – the series finale.

So this is – this is something that, yes we make up as we go along. We stitching beads together, you know, this makes sense for this character, what’s the next step? You know, that’s always mindful, but there -there – I – you know, Robert hopes the show never ends okay. He’d like it to be like the comic book and go on for 30 years. I don’t know if that’s plausible, but I do have a feeling of where this – this show ends.

Where the series ends I’m excited to tell the story, and I would say that certainly, you know, before we – we haven’t, you know, we’re just starting to write season three now. We know pretty much the entire arc of season three, you know, almost beat by beat.

Certainly pushing into season four I have ideas and then skipping ahead to the end of the series I have very strong ideas. But, I’m also open to all of the writers and producers and AMC contributing to that, so I’m sure that what finally ends up being shot and filmed and aired will be very very different. But that’s just part of the process and I’m open to collaborating with everyone.

BuzzFocus also asked if webisodes were being considered for the interim between seasons 2 and 3:

Glen Mazzara: Okay, so Greg Nicotero and his co-writer were just awarded a WGA Writers Guild Award for their webisodes. And so that same team is going ahead with a new round of webisodes for – to bring us into season three. So they’re just beginning to write that material, I’ve seen a – a treatment for it, and they’re going to write that material and I believe Greg is going to direct that as well. So there will be more webisodes coming before season three, yes.

Finally, he was asked if his approach as a showrunner has changed during the span of the season:

Glen Mazzara: I think my approach when I first became a show runner was really not to – was sort of to listen, take in a lot of the information — I believed in the story that we were telling — and to really collaborate with people and to, you know, get my bearings as the show runner and figure out how best to tell this story.

The fact that, you know, I think we’ve had some successful episodes. The fact that people are responding to the pacing, which is something that’s been very important. That’s been something I’ve been putting forward. The idea that the – I’m very interested in – in moving up story and not saving it, or building to it. Let’s pull it up and then figure out some great story behind it, that’s just the way we wrote the shield, so that’s where I’m comfortable.

So I feel like I’m in the zone on this. I feel confident in the material that the writers and I are working on, and you know, I feel like this is – this is a show that I was really very luck to become involved with. But, you know, I’m very excited to continue to write it.

So I feel more confident moving forward. I feel like I do know what’s right for the show, I do have a feel for it, I do feel like I am in the zone on this one, and I’m just excited. So I’m, you know, glad to move into season three and introduce new characters, new story lines, and just sort of try to figure out how to tell that story.

Thanks once more to Glen Mazzara for his generosity in time and information.

The Walking Dead Season 2 Finale airs Sunday at 9/8c on AMC.
