 * What Could Have Been: Had Frank Darabont not been fired, the second-season premiere (as indicated in preview trailers and leaked information from various sources) would have resolved the "Vatos" plotline introduced in the first-season episode of the same name. After leaving the CDC, the group goes to the Vatos camp to warn them that things are much worse than they expected. . The encounter with the horde of walkers on the highway is the only major remnant of the original premiere (as most of the footage was, according to AMC, "unusable") - in total, just 1/3 of the filmed material remained. The Vatos resolution also counts as an Aborted Arc.
 * In addition to this, there was another series of webisodes planned which would have explained the story of the soldier walker in the tank; who, as it turns out, was played by Sam Witwer. But with Frank Darabont being fired, his plan for this fell through. According to Witwer, there were dozens of other little things like this that Darabont had plans for in the future.
