The plan sounded like a good one.
If zombies have taken over the land, get off the land.
DAVE ERICKSON:Its been incredible.

I think there were challenges for us in just in terms of our time to build.
I mean, we essentially built the bulk of the Abigail in about six and a half weeks.
I always knew it would come together but it was always a little bit nerve wracking.
It avoids the seasickness, if nothing else.
So lets get into the episode.
And from their perspective, the only way to contain the outbreak is to burn whats left.
Its really one of those what would you do moments.
So Dave, what wouldyoudo?
I probably would want to let folks come on and I think that would be the end of us.
The thing about Madison is shes abandoned her neighborhood.
Shes thinking about the people that have been left behind, and it weighs on her.
She suffers for it, and she wants to make that right in some way, as does Alicia.
Lets do what we can and embrace life.
If theyre infected, he has no idea if theyre dangerous.
But hell suffer for it.
They all suffer for it.
This entire landscape is one big moral quagmire, isnt it?
Yeah, it is very much.
At least he would have had that opportunity.
And thats one of the things thats going to haunt Daniel throughout much of the season.
Thats a really good question.
So hes getting all this information secondhand.
And its definitely going to take a long time before he approaches anything that approximates forgiveness.
I think thats smart.
I think thats a big part of it.
He can see in Strand, exactly what you said.
This is a guy who knows how to survive.
Strand was always packing his bags.
And then it gets worse.
He sounds nice and innocent enough, but sounds can be deceiving, cant they?
Were going to see Alicia go through an interesting arc over the course of the season, as well.
Of all of our characters, she was the one that had a line on her future.
How far has the outbreak expanded?
How bad is it?
Its a question of, do we trust the people who were stuck with on this boat?
But also, can we trust the people that we come across and can those people trust us?
And thats another lesson that these people are going to have to learn very quickly.
Looking ahead, what can you tell us about next weeks episode?
