"Handing over his showrunner crown to longtime TWD writer Angela Kang for Season 9 and taking on the newly created Chief Content Officer position for the franchise, Gimple spoke with me about whether co-star Lauren Cohan will be inking a new contract or not, surprises in store for fans with tonight’s finale, and how TWD regular Lennie James’ addition to spinoff Fear is part of a larger plan for AMC and the shows based on Robert Kirkman’s comics. Praising the pilot for TWD as “the Rosetta Stone of everything,” the executive producer also unveiled how many more crossovers are in store for the franchise and how he truly feels about charges the series may have jumped the shark."
well beyond these shows.
DEADLINE: On the flip of expanding that universe, TWD and the producers and writers got some serious pushback this year over the directions the story went…
GIMPLE: (Laughs) Really?
DEADLINE: C’mon on you know I’m specifically referring to the “Do Not Send Us Astray” episode that aired March 25. Some hardcore fans started saying that Walking Dead had finally jumped the shark especially with that zombie in the house scene and nobody waking up despite the noise. What was your reaction to that?
GIMPLE: It’s very strange to me as far as the episodes where I try to predict that people will really dig this one, often that doesn’t happen and I’m so wrong. Then the ones I’m worried about where I’m like I don’t know how people are going to feel about this, they love it. Granted, you can find it in either direction for any episode. I’m sure “jump the shark” has been used many times in a show that’s now spanned eight years.
I respect anybody’s opinion as long as they deeply feel it and it comes from watching the show and thinking about it. I think when it comes to this type of fiction, horror, fantasy, we fans love talking about all the points of it from the emotion to the rules of it and we argue about it. So it struck me as something that happens, another thing that people argue about and some love and some don’t and it’s all fair play.
DEADLINE: Even when the criticism is of lazy storytelling? That’s got to sting…
GIMPLE: I will say that if occasionally if somebody says lazy storytelling, the feeling I take some umbrage to only because I do know how hard everybody works. I know that our cast, crew, writers, everyone, that they give everything they have to this show and no one is phoning it in. After that though it’s totally up to people, their reactions to it are completely valid. They’re the audience. It’s for them after that, they have a right to their opinions and of course I pay attention.
