Find out Robert Kirkman's biggest regret from The Walking Dead television show.


There is no doubt that The Walking Dead is a smash hit for AMC and bringing the hit comic to television was a smart idea.

Creator of The Walking Dead, Robert Kirkman, was talking to the Hollywood Reporter and shared his biggest regret with the television series.

According to Kirkman, his biggest regret came very early on in the series at the end of season 1 where the group goes to the CDC office in Atlanta. It was in this episode that the group learns that everyone in the world is already infected and will turn into a walker once they pass away and that it is not just those bitten that turn into them. This was discovered much different in the comics.

Here is a brief excerpt from Kirkman’s interview,
"If I had to do it again, I wouldn't have done the CDC episode [at the end of season one]. It possibly gave away too much information and was such a big change very early on in the series. I feel like there might have been a better way to wrap up the first season. It ended up being a fun episode. I love the character of Dr. Jenner and thought Noah did an amazing job. But there were things in that episode that I think seem very much not of The Walking Dead world."
There is one other regret that comes from that same episode. Dr. Jenner reveals that he could not come up with a cure but there is a possibility that the French may be close as their scientists were the only ones who remained in their labs during the outbreak and were not infected.
"I probably would have changed that stuff," he says. "I've been careful in the comic series to not say what's happening in other parts of the world. It's something that's going to be fun to explore in the spinoff series. But the fact that France is mentioned in that episode and other things like that, I probably would have steered away from that stuff if I had to do it all over again."
Do you agree with Kirkman about wanting to change these parts of the season 1 finale? How do you think he would handle these parts now that he knows he would have wanted them done differently?
