So if you’re Robert Kirkman, creator of one of the biggest pop culture juggernauts of all time, you have to wonder… “Is there anything that Kirkman regrets in terms of the TV show based upon his incredible comic universe?” The answer is yes!
THR caught up with Kirkman, who revealed the following…
“If I had to do it again, I wouldn’t have done the CDC episode [at the end of season one],” Kirkman told the site of the episode in which CDC doc Edwin Jenner (Noah Emmerich) reveals to Rick (Andrew Lincoln) that everyone is already infected.
“The reveal came at an early stage for the zombie drama — which had yet to break out to become the ratings juggernaut it has become in season five. It possibly gave away too much information and was such a big change very early on in the series.”
“I feel like there might have been a better way to wrap up the first season,” Kirkman says of AMC’s season one finale. “It ended up being a fun episode. I love the character of Dr. Jenner and thought Noah did an amazing job. But there were things in that episode that I think seem very much not of ‘The Walking Dead’ world.”
