The Walking Dead: Sarah Wayne Callies on what to expect in Season 3 - thestar.com
Growing up in an academic household with two university professor parents, it’s little wonder that Sarah Wayne Callies has applied her considerable intellect to the question: how have zombies become so firmly entrenched in the zeitgeist?
As Lori Grimes, wife of Sheriff Rick Grimes — head of a band of beleaguered survivors of a zombie apocalypse in the AMC series The Walking Dead — it’s a subject that has come up frequently during the series’ first two seasons, with Season 3 set to debut on Sunday at 9 p.m.
“Sure, I’ve got theories. It’s possible, that in an increasingly secular society, we have an anxiety about what happens to us after we die and increasingly, there are a lot of people who don’t really buy into the answers that traditionally churches and religions give us. That’s a possibility,” Callies mused during a recent telephone interview.
“It’s possible that we’re scared about global climate change and we have a sense that we have literally consumed ourselves,” Callies pondered further.
“I guess maybe the nice thing about zombies — if there is a nice thing about zombies — is that you can tack on to them whatever your neurosis du jour happens to be,” she said.
“What is interesting is that a lot of people say they (zombies) don’t represent anything, they’re just cool. I wonder if there isn’t a part of us — as writers and artists — that want to make more of it than it is,” added Callies, an Illinois native who has lived in B.C. for the past seven years.
Callies was working on a film in a remote part of Nigeria when she first heard about the part of Lori, a wife and mother whose relationship with her husband is, to say the least, troubled.
“I said, ‘I don’t have electricity and there are roaches on my floor, there’s no way for me to take this audition.’ And they said, ‘Okay, that’s too bad, it’s a great opportunity,” Callies recalled.
“It was a month and a half later probably that I finally made it back to the U.S. and the project was still alive — or the project was still dead, depending on how you best describe a zombie show — and they were still casting,” Callies said.
The series has become a big hit with critics and audiences. Its Season 2 finale drew 9 million viewers, making it the highest rated drama in basic cable history and a major winner for network AMC.
“There is a demographic of people who really seem to respect that we’re trying to tell an honest story, not a pretty story. I think in that sense, we trust our audience, we trust them a lot,” Callies said.
“We believe that (they’re) intelligent people who want to be told a very complicated story about a very dark subject. And by a dark subject, I mean even before you get into the zombies. . .being a parent, being a spouse, trying to keep the family together. Those are dark subjects,” she added.
Callies recalled her first meeting with show creator Frank Darabont, a three-time Oscar nominee and director of such hit movies as The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile, to talk about the character of Lori.
“I said I’m interested in playing the darker side of what it means to be a wife and mother. And he just started laughing and he said, ‘Well, you’ve come to the right place,’ ” Callies said.
Callies also offered a few tantalizing hints about Season 3, saying the group led by her husband, Rick, meets another group who’ve survived similar horrors.
“You get a sense of the cost of Rick’s leadership and it stirs the pot pretty significantly,” Callies said.
“Personally, between Rick and Lori, their marriage is ‘quelle catastrophe!’ It’s a big, big, big mess, so our journey is a journey of desperately trying to get back to one another through a huge chasm of grief and loss and guilt. These are two people who are so mired in self-hatred that they can’t begin to conceive of the other person forgiving them. That’s the broad strokes of Season 3.”

My nikka T-Dog finna make it through another season. 
My nikka T-Dog finna make it through another season.
As long as he keeps his mouth shut and people keep forgetting he's still part of the group...
He has no worries then, T-Dog needs like 10 more lines to equal the number of lines Otis had and he was killed off mid season.As long as he keeps his mouth shut and people keep forgetting he's still part of the group...
I wonder who is T-Dog even going to talk to, most of his dialog was with Dale and he's dead now.My nikka T-Dog finna make it through another season.
we should put a coli cash bet on it
cus i figure he's getting chipped the same episode after merle returns.
the virus isn't airborne, theres mythology to TWD. much like the romero zombies, it's believed to be religious. something a long the lines of hell overflowing with the dead, so the dead now walks the earth.
as for your question, it's the bite. it's the lethal bite of a dead person with god knows what kind of bacteria floating in their mouth. in this universe, you can save yourself if you amputate the entire limb immediately -- like within the minute. otherwise, you're screwed.
