Even for fans of this evil, Zombie-hating show, developments like this cannot be comfortable, to say the least:

Last weekend, the cast of The Walking Dead took the stage at Dragon*Con and fielded questions from the audience — with one big restriction. Dragon*Con attendees were told eight times not to ask about former showrunner Frank Darabont.

io9 reasonably speculates that this is a very sad attempt to keep the feelings of the cast about Darabont’s abrupt departure under wraps. In which case, err, drawing attention to it with grave pronouncements and forbidden topics of discussion was a poor tactical choice.

Nothing to see here folks! Hey, we’re gonna have Zombies on a farm in the next season! With a slashed budget! Err wait, forget that part!

Meanwhile over here in the admittedly far-less-lucrative Zombie Friendly market we’re all getting along swimmingly, thanks for asking.
