Let’s talk about the sex scene — or rather, the lack of a sex scene. It’s interesting that the makers of a zombie show which features people wearing undead innards get a bit squeamish when it comes to people making sweet beautiful love.
ROBERT KIRKMAN: That’s more of a comment on America as a whole and television’s standards and practices than it is on us. It is kind of absurd that in an episode where you see the inside of a bloated, water-logged corpse, you can’t see so much as a butt cheek. That’s the world we’re living in. But I think it’s important to view the relationship between Maggie and Glenn in a certain light. I don’t think we wanted to turn that into some kind of steamy, pornographic sex romp.
So there won’t be an X-rated, wakka-wakka guitar-accompanied hardcore bonus scene on the season 2 DVD?
If you would like to see video of Stephen Yeun in various states of undress, email after this interview and I’ll hook you up.
Oh, I will. Speaking of the well-zombie sequence, if I had been writing that scene, I would have had someone say, “It puts the lotion in the basket!”
[Laughs] Did it appear like our homage to Silence of the Lambs?

Love Kirkman interviews!
ReplyDelete- Glad to hear him say the way the timeline plays out Lori's baby could be Shane's or Rick's!
- Loved the Silence of the Lambs comment since I thought of it myself. XD
Good to know that no one was fired and that a few were slapped! XD
About the time line: it's obvious Kirkman was addressing the "conversation" you and me had yesterday, so we now know that SpoilerTV is indeed followed by TWD staff :)
ReplyDeleteHa! :)
ReplyDeleteAs if there was any doubt! ;)
Great knowing they already got season 3 confirmed!
ReplyDeleteAnd spot on when talking about the mentality reigning on US television (a society's mirroring?).
To be honest - as an european myself - I sometimes laugh on the hipocrisy of american television.
But I guess that's the price to pay to get some great shows ;)
Thanks!
