Just out of curiousity, why is this stickied and the episode got sent down to the 2nd page? Because this is the main thread that, once I get around to it (I've been lazy), will link to all the show threads. I guess there's no need to sticky more than one thread when you'll just be able to link to it from here. Maybe I should get around to updating the main posts.

| DANIEL GRIFFIN “IS DEFINITELY NOT EVIL”[This article contains spoilers for Episode Two ( Part One; Part Two)] Scott Michael Foster has claimed that you shouldn’t judge his Amongst The Dead character’s actions too quickly. In the show’s second episode Daniel Griffin (Foster) shot rival Jake Dean (Tom Hardy) in the leg, leaving him to be ravaged by the Infected, following threats made by Jake towards Daniel’s girlfriend. “Every action that Daniel makes is to keep Kara safe,” Daniel said in an interview following the second episode’s airing. “That definitely doesn’t make what he did right, but to him it was the only way to keep the people he cares about safe. You shouldn’t see that action as Daniel being evil. Daniel is definitely not evil.” The actor did go on to say that maybe this mindset is more dangerous than any encounter with the Infected. “Is that the best way to go about things? No, probably not. But right now it’s the only mindset he has and it’s going to take something pretty big or pretty drastic to change that. I think he’s only dangerous to people that he views as a danger to those he cares about.” Foster finished off by stating that in a show like this, shooting Jake will probably come back to haunt Daniel. “I don’t think you can do something like that, in a group like this, and just go on like nothing has happened. Alexa saw it and obviously isn’t going to be fine with that. And then you have to ask yourself what Kara will do if she finds out. Or if Tammy [Jake’s sister] finds out. He’s going to have to cover his back if he wants to keep going.” |
[/td][/tr][/table] | ALEXA “WILL STRUGGLE” WITH SHOOTING KNOWLEDGE[This article contains spoilers for Episode Two ( Part One; Part Two)] Amongst The Dead star Kay Panabaker has revealed that her character Alexa will struggle after witnessing her sister’s boyfriend Daniel Griffin (Scott Michael Foster) shoot bad boy Jake Dean (Tom Hardy). “She will struggle knowing what happened. She’s only fifteen and she’s been thrown into this end of the world situation as it is, and now she has to cope with knowing that her sister’s boyfriend killed a man.” Panabaker went on to say that Alexa may be a bit more capable of darkness than most people would think and that a friendship with one of the convoy members will push her down a darker path. “I don’t think she’s this nice girl that she has appeared to be during the early episodes. I definitely think she’s one of these girls who is nice and caring when it suits her, but capable of darkness when she needs to.” “Alexa becomes very friendly with Kacy [Teague, played by Bianca Lawson], which is not something that will help her or the group. Kacy is rebellious for the sake of being rebellious, she just doesn’t care about anything as long as she is having fun. And obviously in a world full of Zombies moments of fun are few and far between.” |

| FOURTH EPISODE IS "HARROWING"
Scott Michael Foster has given some clues to Amongst The Dead’s fourth episode, calling his character’s storyline “harrowing”.
At the end of the show’s third episode Foster’s character Daniel Griffin watched as a Zombie came at him, his will to live having been questioned earlier in the episode. Foster said that it is these kinds of moments that make the show so intriguing to film.
“I think this show does some wonderful things when it comes to its characters and their emotional reactions to the infection. Daniel’s a great character to play and to display that difficulty and those shades of grey. Every time I get a new script I can’t help but read the entire thing, just to see what he’s going to do next.”
He went on to reveal that while it is being kept under wraps as to Daniel’s fate in the fourth episode that some scenes of the fourth episode were difficult to film.
“Daniel’s story in the fourth episode really shows you the difficulties of living in this world, and what lengths people will go to in order to protect the people they love. There’s an interesting parallel in the episode that really shows the dangers of the way he’s living his life. It’s quite harrowing to watch at points, which is what makes it so interesting.”
