Anyone Can Die

comment
Anyone Can Die: This series has a pretty high body-count, and by the end, almost every character who isn't Rick and Michonne is dead. This includes: Donald Okafor, Nat, Aiden, Bailey, Jadis, Red's group, Beale, and Thorne. The only survivors of the characters introduced in the show are Esteban and Cleo.

The Heavy: Jadis serves as the most direct threat to Rick and Michonne since she threatens that if they try to escape the CRM together, she'll either lead the CRM right to Alexandria to destroy it, or upon her death a dossier with Alexandria's location will be found.

The Back-to-Back Badasses pose that serves as one of the main posters for the show is similar to one of the covers of Issue 92 from the original comics.

comment
Mythology Gag: The Back-to-Back Badasses pose that serves as one of the main posters for the show is similar to one of the covers of Issue 92 from the original comics. The first five episodes’ titles are taken from the titles of the original pilot episode of The Walking Dead, "Days Gone Bye", and Season 10's episode "What We Become", which was the final episode for Michonne before she left the series to search for Rick. The trailers show that Rick encounters and recognizes Major General Beale as an enemy. He’s making up for some lost time on the original show, where the similarly bald and evil Alpha and Pope menaced the Coalition long after his disappearance. For bonus points, Beale is a military leader like how Pope was the commanding officer of the villainous Reapers. The first episode sees Rick cut off his left hand in a bid to escape, giving him the amputation his comic counterpart suffered.

Crossover Finale
 The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live / int_661d775e
comment
Crossover Finale: Despite being a Spin-Off, Season 1 of this series functionally resolves plot threads that stretch back years in the parent series and its associated tie-in shows, which were never properly resolved in its grand finale. This includes Rick and Michonne finally reuniting with their loved ones the Arc Villain (the Civic Republic Military) largely ending its villainous actions upon Beale's death, and Alexandria and other locations mentioned and seen through the spinoffs being spared from the CRM's wrath.

Continuity Nod
 The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live / int_9dab0a6e
comment
Continuity Nod: In the first teaser, Michonne says that "[she] lost someone, years ago", referencing Rick's bridge sacrifice. Afterwards she says that things changed because she found out about Rick's survival, which she discovered from a boat at Bloodsworth Island. The second teaser's narration has Rick recount how he tried and failed to escape. In his last scene of the parent show, he had made it onto a riverbank and got caught by a Civic Republic Military helicopter. The subtitle of the show is taken from Rick and Michonne's last line in the original series.

comment
Arc Welding: As the series has the Greater-Scope Villain of the franchise, the CRM, front and center, it also welds together story from across the universe. In the first episode, Okafor reveals that he led the napalming of Atlanta and Los Angeles, which resulted in the creation of the main groups of the original show and Fear. The series also builds upon the lore primarily established by World Beyond, and alludes to the variant walkers introduced there that play a prominent role in the original show and Daryl Dixon.
