The Walking Dead, The Tower: Things To Note

1) Princess calls the dead “rotters”. This is the same name the Grady Memorial Hospital group had for walkers back in season five.

2) When talking to Ezekiel, Eugene, and Yumiko, Princess mentions she hasn’t seen anyone in over a year. Has she been Charleston this whole time, or, was she just roaming around and only recently got to Charleston?

3) After Ezekiel compliments Princess on her “displays”, she mentions that there aren’t many walkers left in the city. This is…odd. At the beginning of season nine, which took place approximately six years ago (Though still a long time from the beginning of the outbreak), entering cities like Washington was still dangerous because of the large numbers of walkers. Where did the ones in Charleston go? Did they just flake off? Did they clear out earlier because the population of the city wasn’t that big? …Did the Whisperers collect them?

4) Princess explains that she decided not to call herself “Queen” because she thought it would have sounded pretentious. Hilariously, not only do Yumiko and Eugene glance at Ezekiel during this explanation, but, when properly introducing himself, Ezekiel pauses where he would have called himself “King Ezekiel”.

5) Who, exactly, is the voice Beta hears talking to him? It obviously isn’t Alpha. Is it what he imagines his friend sounds like as a walker?
