Tales of The Walking Dead, Amy/Dr. Everett: Things To Note

Tales of the Walking Dead Amy/Dr. Everett

13) According to Amy, they’re not far from the Chattahoochee River, which would place this episode around the Florida-Georgia border, which would explain why certain species Dr. Everett shows as living in the area would be thriving so well.

14) Speaking of which, Dr. Everett tells Amy that escaped zoo animals are thriving in the Dead Sector. Firstly, this confirms that, in at least some parts of the U.S., animals did, in fact, escape the zoos during the outbreak. And secondly, it also confirms that some exotic species (Dr. Everett specifically shows zebras and giraffes) have adjusted to the climate in some parts of the U.S.

15) While explaining what he was doing in the Dead Sector, Dr. Everett tells Amy that he was part of a team researching the dead. Did they start before or after the outbreak turned into a full-blown apocalypse? Also, did his team decide to do this independently, or were they assigned by the government before everything collapsed?

16) When Amy asks about the crippled walker surrounded by caution tape, Dr. Everett explains that he’s been observing her for seven years, giving us a rough timetable of when in the apocalypse this takes place.

17) During the search for Specimen 21 with Amy, Dr. Everett reveals that his cloak is made of walker skins, which is what allows him to observe the dead undisturbed.

18) After learning about his cloak, Amy tells Dr. Everett that it reminds her of a poem about people wearing masks. While she’s obviously talking about the cloak (And, to a certain degree, Dr. Everett’s research and his apparent detachment from people) being the mask he shows the world, considering the previous episode featured Alpha’s introduction to the Whisperers, I’d be remiss if it didn’t call out what feels like a meta-reference to the nefarious group.
