Att vara en väldigt orealistisk komedi på topptidens nätverks-tv tvivlar jag på att det någonsin kommer att bli riktigt besvarat i universum. Jag är inte säker på att någon ärligt talat om det.
Vi har några citat från berörda personer, men inget konkret. Kirsten Schaal, som spelar Carol teoretiserar :
I think the biggest reason is the network didn’t want you to see them. I think they thought it would be a downer for a comedy… I think all the bodies when the virus infects them, they disintegrate, as well as your clothing.
Producenterna, Phil Lord och Chris Miller gav också sina taggar och erkänner att döda kroppar bara inte är roliga, liksom att de inte tror att Will strong (skapare och Phil / Tandy Miller på showen) ens har en svara för detta själv.
So, this is a television comedy about the apocalypse. I wanna focus on the apocalypse part of that. There are no bodies! Where did all the bodies go, what happened?
Miller: They’re just out of frame. You can smell them if you’re on set, but we didn’t include them in the shots.
Lord: I don’t know if Will has a rationale for what exactly happened. In my mind, a bunch of animals gobbled up all the bodies, then they succumbed to the virus and then they died.
Miller: There have been a number of off-hand mentions of, “Hey, help me clear this body out of there,” or they drive by hospitals saying, “You do not want to go into there.” In general, we found that the more talk or visuals of dead bodies, the less hilarious it is.
Lord: You wind up provoking two questions for every one that you answer, and we didn’t want the show to be about what happened, what was the virus like. We didn’t care about any of that stuff. We were interested in, how does a man deal with this new reality?
