The choice to preserve Rick Grimes' life following his last episode of The Walking Dead was controversial at best.<br /><br />Executive producer and director of Episode 9x05, Greg Nicotero, sat down to explain that decision recently. <br /><br />"How do you kill Rick Grimes? You know? I'm getting emails already going, 'Wait! He didn't die?!' I'm like, 'Guys, sorry!'"<br /><br />It was one of those things where, Andy's decision to leave the show was so much personal and not about the show or the content. <br />
