@aid45 It wasn't the guy/dad who cut his beard, it was actually the mom who cut her hair off. The image of the guy/dad cutting his beard was the daughter miss-remembering it cause she was told/brainwashed by her mom that her dad said/did that.

@aid45 Actually, there's one main difference between The Walking Dead universe before the zombie apocalypse and our own: zombies didn't exist in fiction. This is why they were taken by so much surprise and why some people call them "Walkers", some "Infected", some just "The Dead" and yet others use many other names (of course, with the show falling into a rhythm with several well-established settlements and enough communication to be speaking of a communication breakdown, these different terms have been disappearing).

Besides, it's actually a pretty novel concept that people turn into zombies without having been bitten even in our own world fiction. Now, after this much TWD it feels largely normal, but it definitely wasn't a common idea in fiction before this show.
