Can someone please tell why there is so much extra inconsistency in TWD? Like certain extras go missing, and why are there hundreds of extras for a community of only several dozen people?
Extras disappear either because the show forgot to call them back or the actors no longer wanted to be on TWD anymore.
^ yeah the casting department has mailing lists for each community of extras. If the extra answers the call and is available, they’ll show up. Sometimes they can’t make it or quit/moved away, other times filming only requires a certain number like there was limited space in the sewers in 8x08, other scenes call for a lot more people etc.
90% of the time, if someone has been killed off, they’re taken off the mailing list by production. Doesn’t apply to zombie extras
Okay thank you, I could be wrong but I believe that there was one Savior with Simon in episode 8 and the same savior can be seen with Negan at Alexandria. Like the actor was in two different locations in the same episode. Does anyone know if thats true?
Casting screwed up with a few extras. Check the trivia section for 8x08 but one captured satellite Savior is seen with Negan in 8x08, another is seen with Simon in 8x08. And another Savior was at the office plaza outpost, then seen captured with the other POWs, then was shooting from the windows in 8x07 like whaaaaaat. Lol.
