'The Walking Dead': Glen Mazzara on Frank Darabont and His Fears as the Drama's New Showrunner (Q&A) - Hollywood Reporter
This interview at least assures me that if the show does go sideways it won't be due to the creative forces behind the scenes.
DIRECTV Adds AMC HD
BOUT F'NTIME!!!!!!!!
May come to that. We will see. From what I am reading the first half of the season before the split is Frank Darabont's The Walking Dead, while the half after the hiatus is gonna be the real test cause that's when the training wheels are off. You never know...it may be fine. Mazzara is an accomplished showrunner with a better idea of the system as far as dealing with the suits...Darabont is used to the world of features. Bigger budgets, more time to tinker...etc. We just won't really know until it starts back up. Gotta hope for the best, and, if not, hopefully the ratings will drop drastically enough for AMC to realize/fix their mistakes in time to save it. The buzz was so over the top for season 1...but anyone remember Heroes? Once that spit the bit there was no saving it.

I would like to think that this is a good sign and as close to an apology/commitment that you are going to see from the powers-that-be. As I have said in the past, it was openly admitted that Darabont/AMC had a contentious relationship and I think Mazzara was being groomed as a replacement anyway, probably as early as season 3. Giving Nicotero the promotion means that another valuable piece of the puzzle will be kept in place. Hopefully this means that the ship has been righted.
