The Walking Dead, Acheron, Part I: Things To Note

6) In the title sequence, the stained glass windows representing the communities are shattered, likely representing how all of them except Alexandria (Itself in dire shape) are all in ruins.

7) After the part of the title sequence featuring the trees, Dog makes an appearance.

8) As Maggie, Daryl, Negan, Gabriel, and co. make their way into the Metro tunnels; they pass by what looks like graffiti of what appear to be walkers. This suggests that people living in the tunnels may have encountered walkers before the outbreak properly hit; additionally, it seems like it may have been intended as a universal warning. Since everyone in the series has their own names for the dead, a picture of a walker is a better way to warn others than whatever name the artist may have had for them.

9) During Eugene, Yumiko, Ezekiel, and Princess’s assessments by The Commonwealth bureaucrats, they’re asked for their parents’ jobs, their jobs before the outbreak, their education level, where they went to school (Yumiko went to Oxford for her Bachelor’s and Harvard for her law degree), their zip codes (Eugene’s was 75001 — Addison, Texas — from 1978 to 1984, and 76244-0361 — Fort Worth, Texas — from 1984 to 1996), their general health (Eugene, not surprisingly, knows the dates of his vaccinations), their arrest records, any drug use (Eugene, again, not surprisingly, founded his high school’s anti-drug and alcohol coalition), and the number of dumps they take a day.

10) Why did Yumiko, who is obviously British, go to an American school for law?

11) By the look of things, in DC, the government decided to use the Metro tunnels as a mass grave. Presumably, this was before things got completely out of hand, as we saw piles of bodies at the loading zone of Rick’s hospital in the very first episode. If this is the case, the government’s apparent desire to hide the bodies suggests they were still worried about mass panic inside DC more so than other concerns.
