How a bulk of the Andrea’s storyline can get excised from the TV series but Glenn’s death is faithful down to his stutters, it’s beyond me; but Robert Kirkman has reassured fans there is a rhyme and reason to traumatizing us.
So if you’re like me and still have nightmares from that bulging eyeball, first chide The Walking Dead artist Charlie Adlard, and then the rest of the TWD team who wanted us to see that.
It was also one of those times where the show directly obeyed the canon of a character from the original comic books, so it’s not like the show and Yeun can take all the credit/blame from fans.
