No edit summary
Line 18:
* [[Aborted Arc]]: Andrea and Dale were originally set to become lovers as it was in the comics. {{spoiler|This changed when Dale was killed in the ante-penultimate episode of Season 2}}.
* [[Absentee Actor]]: A fair chunk of the male beta cast seems to have the day off in "18 Miles Out". Glenn, Dale, Daryl, T-Dog, and Herschel are all completely absent, the action at the farm focusing on the women and Rick and Shane dealing with the prisoner.
* [[Abuse Is Okay When It's Female On Male]]: Averted when Dawn beats up Noah. It's portrayed seriously, and he has visible injuries afterwards, so it's not cartoonish, either.
* [[Action Girl]]: Andrea, Maggie, Carol, and Michonne.
* [[Adaptation Expansion]]: The series only follows the comic in [[Broad Strokes]], so those who have read the comic don't assume the outcome of the series is a foregone conclusion, introducing new characters and scenes in addition to the ones that showed up in the comics.
Line 195 ⟶ 194:
* [[Disney Death]]: Glenn is thought to be dead after he goes missing...but he survived. Nicholas didn't, though. He shot himself right in the head.
* [[Distaff Counterpart]]: Jocelyn is this to Shane. Both were friends to Michonne and Rick respectively before the zombie apocalypse began, before they eventually became evil and tried to kill them. Jocelyn is far worse than Shane, however...she brainwashed children of all people into becoming psychotic killers.
* [[AbuseDouble IsStandard Okay When It'sAbuse (Female Onon Male)]]: Averted when Dawn beats up Noah. It's portrayed seriously, and he has visible injuries afterwards, so it's not cartoonish, either.
* [[Dressing as the Enemy]]: Carol has dressed as a walker and a member of the psychotic Wolves.
** Rick has dressed as a walker twice. The first time, his disguise is thwarted by a sudden downpour. The second time is more successful for him.
