* In The Walking Dead, the only true way of killing a zombie is via direct head/brain trauma, with beheading leaving the body motionless but the severed head still ``alive``. When in combat,the survivors often cut off walker´s heads with little to no afterthought. Just how many undead heads are out there, just rotting away, unable to even go about the zombie routine of hunting the living ?

* The zombie apocalypse is revealed to be global in the Walking Dead Universe. Aside from the United States, we get a spin-off set in Spain. Considering how bad the two countries ended up according to those storylines, [[NothingIsScarier one wonders how other countries in The Walking Dead Universe are doing...]]

* If we assume that the virus (or whatever) hit the whole world, and not just Georgia and the Carolinas, then industrial society is ''gone''. With the attrition rate caused by the walkers (as well as secondary causes of death, like insufficient medical care, lack of clean water, etc.) and humanity shifting to survival mode, the world no longer has the population density, infrastructure or global communications necessary to support the way of life that most of us take for granted. And it's likely to stay that way for a long, long time.
** Actually, the comic ''The Walking Dead: The Alien'' takes place in '''Spain'''. Which means that whatever [[CameBackWrong brought dead people back to life]] was ''global indeed''.
** Worse, the upcoming TWD novel ''Typhoon'' will be taking place in '''China'''!
