Well, I don’t want to give too much away because there’s some stuff coming up. I think that she was definitely considering it or she wouldn’t have been there. You know, I think killing someone that close up, a human being, with a knife, that’s one thing that is still sort of a bridge too far for [many] people in this universe. It’s important to note that these people are killing zombies left and right all day long and some of them are crossing over that line to killing people. But I don’t think Andrea has quite gotten there just yet.

That scene seemed to have obvious cliffhanger potential. Were you tempted to end the show with Andrea standing over the Governor?
There’s always that kind of temptation to leave things are a little big more cliffhangery. I know that I do that quite a bit in the comic. But I think it’s enough that she was there, that that scene happened. You don’t want to come back next week following up a bit of business from that episode. It’s something that we do in the comics but I don’t know that it works quite as well on the TV show, to open an episode with previous business that may or not fit thematically with what’s going on in the episode. I think when people see episode 12 - which is a really cool, almost vignette side story episode that I don’t want to give too much away about - they’ll see that kind of thing wouldn’t have carried over very well.
