The Walking Dead, Outpost 22: Things To Note

The Walking Dead – Outpost 22

6) Why is it that only hostile groups seem to use trains? The last group we met in the series to use them for anything was Terminus, who infamously used them to store their prospective victims before taking them away to be butchered. While the Commonwealth isn’t nearly so monstrous, the fact they are the only other group to use trains gives the vehicles some sketchy associations.

7) Trooper Nelson stopping at the railroad crossing, getting off his motorcycle, and searching for Maggie as she hides below the road in a ditch, is reminiscent of the hobbit’s first encounter with a Ringwraith (Who does much the same as Nelson, except riding a horse and the hobbits hiding beneath the roots of a tree) in The Fellowship Of The Ring.

8) The child walker Maggie encounters is the first prominent child walker we’ve seen in the series (At least, I think so) since Sam Anderson spotted one (And began freaking out) when Alexandria was invaded by a massive herd back in the season six midseason premiere, “No Way Out”.

9) Who is the child walker? He seems fairly fresh as far as walkers go. Was he a child of one of the prisoners who tried to escape?

10) When Maggie tells Carol that not knowing what happened to Hershel made things worse, Carol pauses, perhaps remembering how she felt when Sophia went missing in season two.

11) Daryl being willing to torture Trooper Nelson (He certainly seemed to want to, anyway) isn’t too surprising, considering that he used the same method to get information out of Randall Culver way back in season two’s “Judge, Jury, And Executioner”.
