Were you surprised by some of that anger?

Because other shows that I watch and I enjoy have done similar things.

But Id say in retrospect, I dont think we would have changed anything.

And its that moment that launches our entire season 7 into that direction.

Do you agree with that?

Yeah, for sure.

And I really think thats what it leads to.

I think Andys absolutely right, there is an expectation of, oh, the anticipation of this moment.

So there was nothing they could do, their hands were tied, reading that moment.

And I feel like we captured that moment in the episode.

Should we venture to make some sort of deal with them?

And Ricks like, If they want to make a deal, have them come talk to me.

So there was a reason behind it.

It certainly was not just about who Negan kills.

And you have six months in between the episodes.

It was hard enough keeping things a secret back in the early 80s with Who shot JR?

Well, weve gone to pretty significant lengths.

Its just the way the world is right now, and its an unfortunate thing.

There are a lot of TV shows that I love watching.

I dont need spoilers.

I loved not knowing where I was being led but willingly going there.

And people that want to put spoilers out there, theyre purposely trying to ruin that experience for people.

So I really still think that the majority of viewers feel the same way I do.

They dont want to know ahead, they dont want to know whats going to happen.

You dont want to know how it ends.

Its about the journey, its not only about the ending.
