Your support makes all the difference.The latest episode of The Walking Dead was notable for several reasons (ahem, "Easy Street"), but one of them you may not have even noticed.
Keen-eyed viewers saw that one of the featured walkers (to those who don't watch, that's the show's word for 'zombies') bore a striking resemblance to new US president Donald Trump.
The moment occurred when Dwight (Austin Amelio) happened upon numerous of the undead on the open road outside the walls of the Sanctuary.
Take a look for yourself.
Comicbook.com reports, however, that producers did not intend this particular walker to be Trump.
A similar instance occurred in Game of Thrones when the head of the former president George W. Bush appeared on a spike back in season 1's final episode.
Back in The Walking Dead season 6, producers managed to cram in a prosthetic head cameo of actor Johnny Depp.
