'Walking Dead' Creator Explains Shocking Death

'It would be inaccurate to portray this show as anything other than completely dangerous,' Robert Kirkman tells MTV News.

Warning: Major spoilers for the latest episode of "The Walking Dead" lurk ahead!

Death is par for the course on "The Walking Dead," but that knowledge wasn't enough to prepare for the shocking death of fan-favorite character Dale. Veteran actor Jeffrey DeMunn made his final appearance on the AMC survival horror series on Sunday night, and as is custom for the show, his exit was a gruesome one: While strolling along the quiet fields of Hershel's farm, Dale was mortally injured by a roaming zombie and, ultimately, euthanized by a bullet to the head from antihero Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus).

"Dale's death comes at a time where he's very much needed," executive producer Robert Kirkman told MTV News about the shocking decision to kill DeMunn's character. "[Rick and the gang] are trying to make this decision on what to do with Randall. The farm is becoming increasingly dangerous. There is still tension between Rick and Shane, despite the fact that it appears that they've put much of their differences behind them for now. They need that moral compass [in Dale], and it's been taken away."

Losing Dale will have massive repercussions on the rest of the "Walking Dead" cast, Kirkman promised. Chief among those feeling the sting will be Carl (Chandler Riggs), who was partially responsible for Dale's death. Earlier in the episode, Carl wandered into the forest by himself and taunted a seemingly immobile zombie — the very same zombie that ripped Dale's guts out.

"It's interesting to see Carl doing kid stuff: going out on his own, trying to prove he's strong enough to kill a zombie, proving that he's deserving of carrying a gun," Kirkman said. "He instigated this whole situation. We're going to deal with his emotions and what comes from him causing Dale's death to a certain extent. That's definitely one of the big repercussions where Dale's death affects these characters."

Once again, Dale's death proves that the "Walking Dead" TV series is more than willing to deviate from the "Walking Dead" comic books. In Kirkman's comics, Dale survives dozens and dozens of issues before finally succumbing to a fatal zombie bite. Seeing the popular character leave the show so soon is bound to be a shock for longtime fans then — but that wasn't the only kind of shock value Kirkman and company were aiming for.

"One of the things we wanted to do is show how dangerous these zombies actually are," Kirkman said. "We were sitting around the writers' room early on in the planning of season two, and we thought, you know, there aren't a lot of zombies actually succeeding in what they're trying to do. They eat people here and there, but we've never really had a zombie actually take down one of our main characters — at least not for a while, not since the first season. We wanted to remind people how dangerous these creatures are. It also threw a wrench in everyone's plans to take Dale off the table, so those two ideas merged into one until we eventually came to offing this character."

Fans aren't just losing Dale, of course: they're also losing DeMunn, one of the finest actors "The Walking Dead" has to offer. Taking an actor of such high caliber off the playing field is not something the "Dead" team treated lightly, Kirkman said.

"It's a tremendous loss," he admitted. "It's difficult. It's difficult for the cast, because they've become pretty much a family hanging out in rural Georgia. They keep each other company. It's definitely a big deal [losing Jeffrey]; it sucks for everybody. Jeffrey in particular brought a serious sense of gravitas to the role and definitely legitimized this show by gracing us with his presence. We were lucky to get an actor of his caliber. He added a lot to the show, and his presence is definitely going to be missed.

"But," Kirkman added, "this is 'The Walking Dead.' It would be inaccurate to portray this show as anything other than completely dangerous, and in order to do that, you have to lose characters from time to time."

PFT: O'Brien says Welker play wasn't a drop

AP

Though Eagles receiver DeSean Jackson seems to believe that the franchise tag represents a badge of honor, there?s little honor in being prevented from becoming a free agent.

Sure, the franchise tag also constitutes a one-year offer for employment at a salary that the player wouldn?t be offered in any other line of work.? But it?s far lower than what the player would receive if the player were able to sign a multi-year contract with significant guaranteed money.

Without significant guaranteed money, the risk of serious injury remains on the player.

And so most players will be upset by the maneuver.? Players like Falcons cornerback Brent Grimes will decline to accept the offer.

?We have no plans to sign the tag at this time,? Grimes? agent, Ben Dogra, told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Friday.? ?We hope to be able to continue to discuss [through] all the issues at the appropriate time.?

The use of the phrase ?no plans . . . at this time? allows Grimes to change his mind later.? But the fact that he?s not under contract also allows him and every other franchise player to withhold services indefinitely.? He can boycott the offseason program, training camp, and the preseason, and he can show up only days before the start of the regular season, sign the tender, and receive the full amount, fully guaranteed.

He also can stay away until Week 10 of the regular season, sign the tender then, finish the year, and hit the market in 2013 ? unless the team is willing to offer 120 percent of his 2012 salary in order to use the franchise tag a second time.

The only risk a player takes by not signing the franchise tender is that the team can rescind it at any time, making the player an unrestricted free agent.

While on one hand that gives the player what he wanted in the first place, on the other hand it can put the player on the market well after teams have blown their budgets and/or determined their depth charts.? Jackson?s intention to sign the tender in Philly surely was influenced in part by the fact that the Eagles twice before have rescinded the franchise tender.

The Falcons likely won?t do that with Grimes.? In an increasingly pass-happy league, they need him.? Especially since Dunta Robinson has yet to play at the level his own multi-year, free-agent contract would contemplate.

Grimes is surely holding out hope that, by holding out, the Falcons will give him the kind of multi-year deal that Grimes would have gotten if he hadn?t been blocked from becoming an unrestricted free agents.

CSN: Howard has infection, but Achilles' fine

February 29, 2012, 11:20 am

CLEARWATER, Fla. ? Phillies slugger Ryan Howard is being treated for an infection and will be inactive for several days, Scott Sheridan, the team?s head athletic trainer, said Wednesday morning.

Sheridan added that Howard?s surgically repaired left Achilles tendon was ?intact.? Sheridan called that ?great news.?

Howard had his torn Achilles tendon repaired by surgeon Mark Myerson in October. Howard recently developed an open wound on the skin covering the Achilles. He was examined by Myerson in Baltimore on Monday. According to Sheridan, Howard had a ?small procedure? to clean out the wound and a surgical suture that had not dissolved properly. Howard was then placed on an antibiotic to treat the infection.

Sheridan said he would consult with Myerson before he determined how Howard?s rehab from the initial injury would proceed.

?The biggest thing right now is we have to protect the wound and make sure the healing occurs, then begin to move forward from there,? Sheridan said. ?He?s going to be inactive for a few days.?

Howard?s progress has clearly been slowed, but Sheridan will not use the word ?setback.?

?I prefer not to use that word,? he said. ?We never established a particular timetable for him. It?s one of those things that happens in the rehab process. We just have to move forward from it.

?It?s common for the skin behind the Achilles to have trouble healing.?

Howard had been taking ground balls and hitting before he was slowed by the wound near the original incision on the back of his ankle. That was an indication that the repair of the Achilles was holding up well. Myerson confirmed that during his examination of Howard.

?That was our biggest concern going into this,? Sheridan said. ?That was one of the things during the procedure that he confirmed: The Achilles tendon is intact and not compromised. That?s great news.?
