Critics of The Walking Dead Season 2 have said that the first half of the season focused too much on talking over action. In a recent interview, Norman Reedus addressed these criticisms and let fans know to expect plenty of action in the second half of season 2:
"I can say that in the second half, after this hiatus, people are done talking. It’s all kind of firecrackers from here on out. It gets more action packed. The first part of the season, it gets slow when people have to talk. That’s just how it works. I think the writers have done such a great job with setting up storylines and explaining them when they need to be explained, not over talking it and not over thinking it. There are certain things that need to be said to keep the story moving and I think they’ve done a good job with it. I know when people watch the show they go, ‘More zombies. More death.’ But you have to do a bit of talking. Otherwise it’s ‘Transformers.’"
As reported a couple of weeks back, the entire second season of The Walking Dead has wrapped up filming. We're currently on a mid-season break, but The Walking Dead Season 2 will return with 6 new episodes, starting on February 12th.
