Has Chris officially crossed over to the dark side now?
DAVE ERICKSON:I think Chris has crossed over to the apocalyptic side, definitely.
I think the biggest thing that Chris needs is to find people who actually get him.
The trigger for him figuratively and literally is when the farmer comes in and shoots James.
And he feels a certain degree of guilt and definite obligation to protect his little boy.
Travis sees this coming down the pike.
Travis recognizes that these guys are not good dudes, and Chris cant see it.
The elements that frighten Travis are the things that Chris really responds to.
Is there something to Chris observation that Travis just wants to stay close so Madison can find them?
Yes, I think there absolutely is.
You all have used flashbacks a lot more liberally than the otherWalking Deadshow.
Why does that work for your program?
I like the juxtaposition.
But yeah, it was a horrible, horrible wedding.
Speaking of which, where is Ofelia now?
You will find out.
Well catch up with her in a later episode and see what shes up to.
Good or bad call on her part, Dave?
In the moment, good call.
She wanted to keep that contained inside that one space.
So I think it was the right decision for somebody who was trying to protect the greater good.
That doesnt mean that shes not heartbroken.
It doesnt mean shes not upset by what happened.
It didnt really save anybody.
Its easy to see that now, and I think thats what Alicia suggests.
