We did tone it down for episodes we were still filming for later on in the season.
The violence in the premiere was pronounced for a reason, says Gimple.
I dont think like thats the base level of violence that necessarily should be on the show.

I dont think well ever pull ourselves back.
Yeah I took a hit, Hoovertold ComicBook.com.
I took a hit on the head from Mr. Norman Reedus, and it was a good hit….

I got hit right square in the head.
There was the special effects that they do with the blood packet.
They had a blood packet on the pipe and it just went everywhere.
Everybody said it looked so awesome, but also pretty graphic.
Did producers show less of that horrific moment because of reaction to the premiere?
Specific to that scene, I guess specific toeverything, no, says Gimple.
And with the iron, thats a really good example.
Thats something that I think the audience should do a little bit more of the work on.
