Comments on: The Walking Dead gets a fourth season, loses Glen Mazzara as showrunner http://boingboing.net/2012/12/21/glen-mazzara-stepping-down.html Brain candy for Happy Mutants Fri, 24 May 2013 10:24:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Mike Meyer http://boingboing.net/2012/12/21/glen-mazzara-stepping-down.html#comment-1614197 Mike Meyer Sat, 22 Dec 2012 08:44:00 +0000 http://boingboing.net/?p=202060#comment-1614197 Writer Susan Karlin did a series for Fast Company about all the adjustments that the show needed to do after Frank Darabont left -- the whole issue was over bringing down the show budget, and they struggled to maintain the series quality after the disruption.   It was in many ways the same kind of pivot that tech startups go through.  It will be interesting to see where they end up now.

Exactly. Weird personal question to Jamie: speech pattern, starting a sentence with "Well,"....any chance you grew up in Minnesota? “this news is like getting a delicious cake and then being told it was made by a person who can no longer bake for you.”

I loath where the comic (and the new villain) is now. It feels like its getting ready to end, which I dont think would be a bad thing. I would agree.

I am really surprised at how fast the prison/woodbury arc is going in season 3. Assuming there is some conclusion to that arc by the end of the season where do we go from there? For me the comic loses its way a bit after that. Plus they have already mined a few plots from that stretch of the comic and incorporated them into the prison.

Season 2 was a stinker. When I first skimmed this title, I thought they meant the character Glen, and I was all, "Woah! It's too soon!"  I totally agree. Season 2 was a stinker.

Not sure how much Glen helped or hurt in those two very different seasons. The writing seems to be the biggest factor in how good or bad it has been. The special effects and set design are amazing for the budget. The acting is more hit and miss, but I think bad writing can destroy the best actor.
