And as Madison tries to figure him out, there’s a certain degree of simpatico I think between the two of them. That provides us with the opportunity for alliances. What’s interesting to me, it is his boat, he’s the captain, but he has this crew that he’s brought with him, none whom really trust him. Where are we going to see this enigmatic character going deeper into Season 2?ĮRICKSON: Clearly, he has a plan, he has an agenda, which he’s only sharing part of, if any. We don’t, and we allowed the characters to experience what it might be like to see your first infected and how they respond to it accordingly – which was important.ĭEADLINE: This is Strand’s boat that our West Coast Survivors are on at the beginning of Season 2, and he has in every way become the dominant figure right now. You know I think one of the things we don’t do going into this season obviously is dwell too much on whether it’s right or wrong to kill the dead when they’re coming at you. That was something we wanted to maintain because I felt that it worked in Season 1, and I think the great thing for us is that we did get through a lot of our apocalyptic education in Season 1 too. I think that in and of itself creates a degree of uneasiness, then if you add to that the fact that you’re trapped on this vessel with some people whom you don’t know and who’s agenda is you don’t know, I think it lends itself to dramatic tension. Then I think the upper for us going into the back half is going to be able to slow things down a little bit and fracture the narrative a little bit and allow for a little more time and a little more reflection.ĮRICKSON: Yes, because there’s nothing more scary than being stuck in the middle of the ocean with no land in sight and this abyss beneath you. You know, I think we have a lot of story that we cover in the first half of the season. Reality is, I think in the first half … I mean if you look at it as three chapters, you know Season 1 being 1 and then Seasons 2A and 2B being chapters 2 and 3. I think what we learned from that and what was offered to us going to Season 2 was the opportunity to expand and try to slow things down a little bit. I think it was difficult only in that we had to crunch so much story into six episodes. The EP also revealed a little bit about how Kurt Sutter inspires his sense of how long FearTWD could run, what the jump from the six episodes of Season 1 and the 15 episodes of Season 2 is like, and why David Bowie fits in to tonight’s debut.ĭEADLINE: Now that Season 2 has debuted, what are some of the lessons you’ve learned coming out of the six episodes of the first season and moving into the 15 episodes of this cycle?ĮRICKSON: Don’t talk to zombies.
