The Walking Dead, Splinter: Things To Note
By Liam O'Leary
8) If the age Princess gives to the Commonwealth interrogator is accurate, she would have been about eighteen or nineteen years old when the outbreak hit.
9) The Commonwealth is the first group in The Walking Dead (Though not the first within the larger universe) to have a specific name for the outbreak: The Fall.
10) Princess says that she was in Pittsburgh when the outbreak hit. While this is consistent with where the group meets her in the comics, this might also be a reference to the fact that several of George A. Romero’s Living Dead films occur either in or around the Pittsburgh area.
11) Princess imagining talking to Yumiko, Eugene, and Ezekiel is the first time a character has talked to a hallucination/ghost of a known living person (Unlike Morgan seeing Henry or Daryl seeing Merle, who were thought dead by Morgan and Daryl at the time).
12) When Princess imagines Ezekiel is telling her to escape, he tells her that she met Eugene, Yumiko, and Ezekiel a week earlier. Has it been that long since we first met Princess?
13) As Princess mulls over, leaving with the Ezekiel hallucination, and he says, “Believe me. I know.” You can hear one of the conductor walkers say, “Yeah.” This makes Princess the first person in The Walking Dead to imagine walkers talking to them since Beta in “A Certain Doom.”
