One Musical Easter Egg You Might Have Missed in TWD: Daryl Dixon Episode 3 

The Walking Dead fans are convinced that TWD: Daryl Dixon is the best spinoff of the franchise so far. With episode 3 now available, there is enough to prove them right. Apart from everything else that's great about the episode, there is one Easter egg that deserves all the attention.

The episode finally takes viewers to Paris, the capital of France and the city we’ve all been waiting to see in the post-apocalyptic setting. It’s just awesome how the episode gives us this juxtaposition of destruction and the enduring romantic aura of Paris.

Despite the apocalyptic setting, the charm of this city is just unmatched. The scenes are beautifully crafted, depicting a city that has witnessed the collapse of civilization yet still holds onto its historical and amorous allure.

As Daryl and his group wander through the iconic Cimetière du Père-Lachaise in Paris, a familiar tune plays in the background — People Are Strange by The Doors, but covered in French.

This wasn’t just any random choice of music; it was a clever homage to Jim Morrison, the lead singer of The Doors, whose grave Daryl notably spots in the cemetery.

The cemetery isn't just any ordinary one either; it’s the largest in Paris and is the final resting place of many notable personalities like Édith Piaf, Oscar Wilde, and Frédéric Chopin, to name a few.

Jim Morrison died in Paris in 1971 when he was 27 years old, which makes him part of the infamous 27 Club, a list of prominent musicians who met their tragic end at the age of 27. This group includes other legendary names like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Kurt Cobain.

Not only did the mention of Morrison in the episode pay tribute to his musical legacy but it also brought a sense of the real world to the TWD universe. So, does that mean their universe is pretty much like ours, except for the whole zombie apocalypse thing?

Well, not exactly. The Walking Dead does reference The Doors and other artists and writers who existed in our world, but there are some distinctions as well. For instance, in TWD's universe, they never had any zombie fiction. That's actually why they don't even use the word "zombie."

Anyway, the musical Easter egg is a subtle yet impactful addition to the episode, and fans absolutely loved it.
