‘The Walking Dead’ season 4 spoilers: Norman Reedus on constant surprises
Do you think that you have the world of “The Walking Dead” figured out yet? Think again. The hit AMC show has a number of key themes that drive it, but you have to believe that one of the biggest ones (at least based on all of the evidenced we have seen over the years) is of constant change and transformation. Very rarely are things the way in which they were a season or even a few episodes beforehand, and that is something that we are surely going to see even more of in season 4.
Remember how Rick was back during the pilot? Compare that to the Rick of today, and there is quite a difference. Add that to some other characters including Glenn and Carol, and you have a landscape that is constantly evolving. One side of this that is especially interesting is watching how good characters may not stay that way, since there is always a possibility to turn over to a metaphorical dark side. This is something that Norman Reedus (Daryl) chose to talk about as a part of a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal:
“It’s interesting because people that aren’t villains, may turn into villains, you know what I mean? Carl just shot a kid in the face. I think season four is going to be our best season, I really do. Our new showrunner – Glen [Mazzara] was amazing, and Frank [Darabont] was always amazing, but Scott [Gimple] is such a good writer. He’s got the whole thing plotted out already. I’m really excited to get going. We’ll start season four in May.”
Even with Reedus saying this, we have to admit that we would honestly be very shocked if Daryl is one of the people feeling the temptation from evil at some point over the course of the show’s run.
