last night Twitter served it's purpose for me - The Walking Dead: Season 2 Panel at Comic-Con

last night Twitter finally served it's real purpose for me. The Walking Dead: Season 2 Panel at Comic-Con Featuring Main Cast and Crew took place and thanks to @WalkingDead_AMC I was able to follow it in some sort of capacity on Twitter. A few tasty bits of info here and it pumps me up so much more for season 2.

Here are the tweets in all their glory.

#WalkingDead will premiere Sunday, October 16th at 9pm!

Hurd says #WalkingDead will be premiering during AMC's Fearfest.

Kirkman joking on how #WalkingDead ended up on TV: "I had no idea it was going on. They called me after it was all done."

Kirkman: "AMC had the vision to try something this crazy." #WalkingDead #SDCC

Kirkman: "Eventually, Frank came along, and never went away." #WalkingDead #SDCC

Hardwick to Darabont: "Can I nerd out on you for a moment? You wrote my favorite Nightmare on Elm Street." [Laughter] #WalkingDead


Kirkman:"I was kind of the mind that it would never, ever been a television show, because it is dark, and it is zombies." #WalkingDead

Kirkman has offered to make Hardwick a zombie, and shoot him in the face.#WalkingDead

Hardwick tells story about scaring girls while nerding out about #WalkingDead. Kirkman: "You're no stranger to scaring girls, right?" #SDCC

Kirkman: "The good thing about the first season is no one actually knew what's coming." #WalkingDead #SDCC

Kirkman: "It's empowered us to try harder, to try more things. We're taking that seriously, and trying to deliver." #WalkingDead #SDCC

Darabont: "This year, we have a room full of writers who have seen the show now, who are fans." #WalkingDead #SDCC

Darabont: "Now we have people who come to the table and say, we want to be a part of this. And that's a great feeling." #WalkingDead #SDCC

On getting ready for Season 2 - Darabont: "The coursework is going back and reading Robert's comics." #WalkingDead #SDCC

Hurd: "Partner with the best people you can find, and I have three of them sitting up with me right here." #WalkingDead #SDCC

Darabont teases that they'll be showing off the Season 2 trailer! Or possibly Kirkman dancing for the crowd. #WalkingDead #SDCC

...And then things get worse. #WalkingDead #SDCC

Fans of big zombie action? Get ready. Oh, and maybe there's a glimpse of a certain farm. #WalkingDead #SDCC


The crowd goes nuts, as the trailer ends. #WalkingDead #SDCC

The cast is hitting stage! Andrew Lincoln, Sarah Wayne Callis, Jon Bernthal - head shaved! #WalkingDead #SDCC

Laurie Holden, Jeffrey DeMunn, Steven Yeun, and Norman Reedus are all on stage, too! #WalkingDead #SDCC

DeMunn on Season One: "I hadn't seen any scripts, but knowing Frank, I said, 'Yeah, I'll get on board with that.'" #WalkingDead #SDCC

Yeun: "I was one of those very fortunate cases where I had just moved to LA. And, I don't know, the stars aligned." #WalkingDead #SDCC

Darabont: "The fair answer is, we're actually having those conversations as we speak. [Pause] Ed O'Neill." #WalkingDead #SDCC

Lincoln did most of his own stunts - even driving, and he only started to drive four years ago. #WalkingDead #SDCC

Bernthal on stunts: "We do as much as we can ourselves, and it's an incredibly game bunch of actors." #WalkingDead #SDCC

Reedus asked what was weirder, working on #WalkingDead, or a Lady Gaga video: "This is by far the best... And the weirdest."
