The Walking Dead Season 6: 18 Easter Eggs You Probably Missed

16. Carl's Moment

The Walking Dead Easter Eggs

Carl having part of his face blown off is a big moment for the show, especially as it sees a main character - who also happens to be a kid - getting shot in the face and living to tell the tale. 

It's also ripped straight from the pages of the comic books. While other aspects of Season 6 might have differed slightly, this one played out in a very similar manner, although there were some changes. In the comics, it's Douglas Monroe (who is represented by Deanna in the TV series) who shoots Carl accidentally, rather than Ron deliberately trying to take out the Grimes family. 

The imagery of it though, and the rush to save his life afterwards, is a recreation of this big moment.
