Well, all that happened. In one of the most action-packed episodes of the series, The Walking Dead resumed its sixth season with an episode that tied up the quarry walkers arc in dramatic and heartbreaking fashion, reunited Rick’s group, allowed Daryl the chance to get his heroic groove on after losing his weapon and motorcycle, re-enacted a major TWD comic book moment for Carl, gave us additional hints about the Saviors (aka Negan’s group), and finally forced the Alexandrians — and Father Gabriel! — to prove they’re willing to take some of the responsibility for keeping themselves alive.
TWD executive producer and special effects whiz Greg Nicotero directed “No Way Out,” and he talked to Yahoo TV about the visually spectacular, big-screen-worthy installment, that devastating walker attack that wiped out a whole family (and Rick’s immediate chance at romance), how Daryl Dixon got the chance to prove just what a hero he can be, and how he really didn’t mean to play with our Glenn-lovin’ hearts with Mr. Rhee’s latest near-death experience.
The premiere’s opening scene is incredible, and I love the fact that we saw one of those RPGs from “Always Accountable.” We knew they were going to come into play somewhere down the line. Was this always the plan for them?
Yes. A lot of people talk about Daryl’s character, and there’s so many people that we need to serve on the show. One of the things that was very important was having Daryl play a very big part in saving Alexandria. Daryl’s the one who comes up with the plan to fill the lake with gasoline and ignite it and lead all the walkers into the lake. That whole story was [sparked] in Episode 606, when Daryl was in the woods with “D” and the two girls, and they were talking about the fact that they had used one of the tankers, ignited a tanker, and lured all of the walkers into the fire. It’s really important.
He also saves Sasha and Abraham from being shot by obliterating the Saviors, and then he concocts his plan. We really wanted this to happen as if completely out of left field. I love Sonequa [Martin-Green’s] performance and Michael [Cudlitz’s] performance, where she’s like, “I’m trying to talk to the man.” And Negan’s guy is like, “You know what? Yes, I am” going to kill you. When we shot that, we actually had the cameras locked off, so that when he raises up the guns, we cut. We took all the actors and then we brought in dummies filled with giant blood bags and primer cord, and we physically blew dummies to pieces in the shot. There’s a lot of practical effects in this episode, because we really wanted everything to feel authentic. I didn’t want to go with a lot of fireballs and visual effects stuff. I wanted everything to feel real.
