Carl Grimes sure has come a long way from being that little kid who always gets lost. In a scene from the Season 8 premiere of The Walking Dead, which dropped at the show’s New York Comic Con panel Saturday, Carl is seen scavenging for gas when he begins to hear a voice.
You can watch the scene from the 100th episode below. What stands out is the very obvious homage to the first scene of the series with Rick as the one in search of gas — only no creepy little zombie girl (that we know of).

With Season 8 on the horizon, does this clip excite you? And could this callback to Episode 1 be a sign of where this season is heading? Let us know in the comments below!
This season, Rick brings “All Out War” to Negan and his forces. The Saviors are larger, better-equipped, and ruthless — but Rick and the unified communities are fighting for the promise of a brighter future. The battle lines are drawn as they launch into a kinetic, action-packed offensive.
Up until now, survival has been the focus of Rick and our group, but it’s not enough. They have to fight to take back their freedom so that they can live. So that they can rebuild. As with any battle, there will be losses. Casualties. But with Rick leading the Alexandrian forces, Maggie leading the Hilltop, and King Ezekiel leading the Kingdom — Negan and the Saviors’ grip on this world may finally be coming to an end.
