* [[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. {{spoiler|They find the retirement home overrun (with Guillermo and the rest of the Vatos recently killed), and proceed to take down every walker in the vicinity before having to hide. Shane almost gets overtaken by a mob of walkers while escaping the home, and is saved by Dale in his R.V.}}. 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, [https://web.archive.org/web/20140104072243/http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/GraphicCity/news/?a=52265 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.
* [[Word of God]]: The ''Talking Dead'' tie-in talk show interviews with series executives and actors provides a good deal of [[All There in the Manual|information not available within the show itself]]:
** Creator Robert Kirkman stated that in the universe of the TV show, the George A. Romero's ''[[Night of the Living Dead]]'' was never created, and there was never a boom of zombie pop culture like in our world. This is why the word "walker" is more commonly used, as none of the characters have any knowledge of the concept of "zombies".
