'The Same Boat' may feel detached from the current overarching story, with a new set of characters and a fresh location for them all to die in, but it's littered with clues for the rest of the season, including a potential death sentence for one of the show's biggest characters. The slaughterhouse location itself offered few hints at the inevitable doom to come in later episodes. It was grimy, it was dim, and there weren't really any signs that people have lived there, but all of the characters dropped some big teasers for things to come, with several lines of foreshadowing that will terrify fans. There were also a couple of nods to the history of the 'new world' with revelations about how society fell, and some skirmishes that happened since then, so here are 8 things you might have missed in Episode 13.
8. Growlers
The world of The Walking Dead doesn't have a zombie culture of its own. Their idea of horror completely omitted the entire notion of the dead rising, as proven by the fact that nobody knows what to call the ZOMBIES. Of course the most popular term has been 'walkers', but across the course of the show we've heard roamers, lurkers, biters, creepers, skin-eaters, geeks (Daryl, Season 2!), and now we can add growlers to the list, with one of the Saviours referring to the undead that have infiltrated their safe house.
