** The first season consisted of six episodes and featured major EarlyInstallmentWeirdness with zombies that picked up items and even used tools like rocks to break windows, in the most extreme situations even ''climbing fences''. Season 11C consisted of six episodes, the first one of which introduced zombie variants that served to retroactively explain this weirdness and bring them back as a legitimate subtype of zombies. Thus, the first and final six episodes of the series feature the same kinds of zombies that were absent from the rest of the series.

* ItsAlwaysSpring:
** The series glosses seasons over. Even the south gets a freeze and snow now and then. Having winter happen would provide too much of a chance for the group to settle and regroup because the walkers get slowed down in snow, possibly freeze, slip on icy unsalted roads twisting and breaking many ankles, and at the very least leave a noticeable dragging trail wherever they go (the comic doesn't ignore winter, but almost totally skips over it, due to the walkers being frozen and not a threat). Even if they have been having unseasonably warm winters in the south for the series, the Northern part of North America should be pulling through okay. This is due to the schedule of the series production usually having the first half of a season be filmed in the early summer, while the latter half is filmed in the fall. This leads to the opening of Season 3 having the group come off of their first winter, only for the cast to be bundled up and cold in the season finale, which thanks to the series' compressed timeline is not nearly enough time for eight months to pass.
** The end of Season 9 actually depicts a vicious blizzard striking the communities, and while many walkers are indeed frozen, they are still very much a threat. Conversations in the episode also explicitly state this is not their first harsh winter.
** Season 11 averts this, as Part 3 was filmed between fall 2021 and spring 2022. A natural snowfall actually occurs in "Faith", whereas artificial snow had to be used for the Season 9 finale.

** The span of time between the end of the Whisperer War and the proper start of the Commonwealth gets much more focus out of necessity from real-life events; the COVID-19 pandemic convinced the show to produce six additional Season 10 episodes to show some of the fallout of the Whisperer arc, and leads into the first third of Season 11 which mostly revolves around a conflict with a group of FillerVillain’s called the Reapers. First contact with the Commonwealth is still a major subplot but the primary focus is the Reapers, who were actually going to be the villains of a full-length eleventh season before AMC cancelled the show a year earlier than expected.
** With the storyline needing to be changed thanks to several characters being absent, the Commonwealth arc tells a lot more story in its final episodes and with different characters.

** Rick uses one to chop up a dead body as part of a plan to sneak past the walkers and escape Atlanta.
** In "TS-19," Daryl uses one on the door to the CDC, on a walker in midrun, and almost on Jenner's head because it's ''not'' designed to withstand a rocket launcher. One of his axe kills actually has him using two axes to behead one walker in one swing.
** In "Seed," Rick uses one to amputate Hershel's infected leg.
** In "Say the Word," after Lori's death, Rick kills a large number of walkers using a fire axe.
** One of the Wolves in "JSS" wields an axe.
** Again in "No Way Out," Rick uses an axe to unleash his fury on a herd of walkers after [[spoiler: Jessie and her family are devoured by walkers and Carl's eye is shot out by Ron. He also uses it to remove Jessie's arm to save Carl.]]
