There was a whole lot of different Ricks in the season 8 premiere ofThe Walking Dead.
There was the Rick waging war on Negan.
There was old man Rick with the cane and weird flat-top haircut.

And there was bloodshot-eyes Rick quoting Allah about his mercy prevailing over his faith.
But that wasnt all we saw.
We spoke to executive producer Greg Nicotero, who directed the episode, about all that and more.

Theyre committed to preserving their way of life.
So there were a lot of great fun things about it.
And you guys love to play with time on this show.
Thats part of the fun.
You dont want to spoon-feed them everything.
It feels like youre setting the table here.
Tell me about how you decided to add those little touches in.
So all those things were put in there as a little thank you.
It was very dense.
Why do they have steel welded to the sides of these cars?
You know, all these people are together.
But whats also kind of cool is seeing the Saviors assembled as well.
We havent seen these guys together before.Yeah, because theyre all spread out at their different outposts.
One of the things about this episode is its a very quiet episode.
Theres not a lot of talking until they get to the Sanctuary.
Okay, we saw Rick fire the first big shot here.
What can you say about whats coming up next onThe Walking Dead?Its thrilling and its exciting.
