Don't you get it? We are The Walking Dead!

Well see, I'm a good enough writer that not everybody in my books talks exactly like I do.

I just wanted to make it clear that I was saying that the possibility is there and I would've been fine with it, the network would have been fine with it, but we ultimately didn't do that. I can make it official - Daryl Dixon is actually straight.

We're always exploring new ideas in the writers room, and those kinds of ideas snowball from season to season and drive the show in a different direction.

Fights in real life between real people only last so long before someone gets seriously hurt.

In a world ruled by the dead, we are forced to finally start living.

I'm only 24 so I like to think I'm still close enough to 17 to still remember what it was like. Besides, I could just fake it and get away with it... it's not like there are any teenagers that still read comics.
