Weird guy with mullet can definitely sort this, say Walking Dead characters

In an exclusive interview, everyone from The Walking Dead has professed their total confidence that some random punter they met can cure the zombie pandemic if they get him to Washington.

Rick Grimes and his friends have taken time out of their busy head-stabbing schedule to speak exclusively to about their delight at having stumbled across Dr Eugene Porter, who is "100%, no question" going to fix the zombie pandemic.

"I am as convinced of his academic credentials as I would be of anyone else who rocked up looking like Billy Ray Cyrus and said he was a doctor," confirmed sword enthusiast Michonne. "Which is to say, entirely convinced. He says he has a PhD in dezombification, so I'm not sure what more evidence you could require."

The group dismissed concerns that Dr Porter is never all that specific about how he plans to cure the disease.

"Oh come on, he just gets tired easily and doesn't like talking about it," said Daryl Dixon, removing a crossbow bolt from a zombie's eye. "It's all just sciencey stuff anyway; we wouldn't understand it. It's like, who knows which one's positive and which is negative, anode or cathode?

"Literally no one knows that. It's impossible to retain the information in your head. Leave it to the experts, that's what I say."

"No, there's no point whatsoever in encouraging him to share the information with someone else so as to leave a chance for the survival of the human race in the event of his death," said Carl Grimes, in a voice slightly less annoying than the one he had two seasons ago. "Obviously you've never heard that expression about keeping eggs in baskets.

"It's about having as few baskets as possible so you don't have to carry as many."
