Warning: There are spoilers ahead for the season eight premiere of "The Walking Dead," titled "Mercy."
Among the many details and references mentioned in the 100th episode [will add link] of "The Walking Dead" are many nods to the series' first episode.
An older Rick wakes up in a bed, mirroring Rick waking from his coma, and one of the episode's final shots is reminiscent of the end of the 2010 pilot with Rick trapped in a tank.
However, there's one extended scene in the premiere which may have had you feel like you were experiencing déjà vu.
Early on Sunday's episode, Carl goes on a run to a gas station. The scene plays out almost exactly like the opening scene from 2010's pilot.
Both father and son are seen driving down a highway, get out of their vehicles, and meander through a graveyard of cars.
They stumble upon abandoned trikes, the undead in cars, and take a peek under a vehicle.
Here are a few of the similarities you see between the two episodes:
What's up with the similar scenes?
At New York Comic Con, episode director Greg Nicotero said it was a near shot-for-shot recreation of the pilot episode to celebrate the 100th episode. It's a pretty cool way to both honor the past and to hint at a potential passing of the baton in leadership in the near future. After all, we know Rick will be getting older from those flash-forward scenes.
You can watch the scene with Carl mimicking his dad's movements below:
