And we also asked him a bunch of other stuff as well.
Like, how often can they keep going back to the same trick of using zombie blood as camouflage?
Whats up with Nick and Luciana getting some sexy time?

And where the hell is Ofelia?
Read on for answers!
(Well, some at least.)
DAVE ERICKSON:It was a combination of stunts and then heavy VFX.
I think we tripled or quadrupled the number of dead on the pier in post.
Ive always wanted to find a way to use that, and we figured out a way.
That was the goal and thats what happened.
So how do you determine how often it’s possible for you to use that trick?
I think weve used it enough.
Its actually something were discussing in the writers room right now.
Thats something were going to speak to when we get into season 3.
Yeah, other than a rainstorm coming and washing it away it seems like a pretty effective method.
She makes this big case that this hotel could be a really solid fortress if they get into shape.
At some point you know people are probably going to take it away from you.
Its always the good plan, and its one of the tropes forWalking DeadandFearand really any apocalyptic drama.
Frankly, if things went well, it might get a little bit boring.
Strand has this whole scene where he convinces Oscar that he has to let his poor zombie bride go.
He says Let me help you.
Let me help Jessica.
The answer is yes.
We see an atypical Strand in this episode.
Theyve been on the run for the past few days and hes definitely grieving that loss.
That offering to put down Jessica, I think he is trying to find some closure.
Hes trying to find some way by offering this gesture to Oscar to offer himself a balm as well.
Thats interesting, and Coleman plays it beautifully.
Strand is in a very fragile place and its a place we havent seen him before.
Get that swagger back?
And then we have Nick and Luciana finally hooking up.
Was she indeed testing him by starting to leave his place before anything happened?
I do think that theres a certain protocol in the fact that shes in his trailer.
She had tested him earlier.
Alejandro had said to him this is how she operates.
All right, Ive asked you before.
Ill ask you again.
We will reconnect with Ofelia very, very soon.
So what do we have coming up next week?
Everything is going to be beautiful.
Things at the hotel are going to be great.
Theyre going to start to farm.
I dont believe you.
