But that’s okay, because it turns out he wasn’t supposed to be happy about it.

(An assessment it seems Reedus ultimately if begrudgingly agreed with.)

It was just rough.

We were all separated, and we just kind of missed each other.

We missed having the feeling that we had when we started this thing.

I know everybody’s excited.

Andrew Lincoln said the same thing.

There was obviously some chatter out there from viewers about the first half and some complaints about the tone.

What do you make of that?I mean,Iwas saying that about the first half.

I think part of that chatter you’re talking about came fromme.

But you know, it’s true: you could’t make everybody happy about everything.

So that’s just how we keep people on their toes.

But I’m happy that we’re back on that first track again, you know?

I was in a hole by myself, naked.

It just did not feel right to me.

I’d talk to Gimple, and I’d be like, Man, this sucks.

I hate this.'

And he’d be like, You’re supposed to.'

I’m like, Oh, there you go.'

You know what I mean?

It wassupposedto suck, and it did suck for me, anyway.

But you know, it just makes coming back together that much more special.
