The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon’s Timeline Is a Total Train Wreck, and Here’s Why
Something’s wrong with Laurent’s age.
The Walking Dead universe, still expanding with numerous spinoffs after the conclusion of the original show, couldn’t avoid raising questions among fans with its sprawling timeline. It looks like the latest TWD spinoff, Daryl Dixon, has unfortunately managed to create what appears to be a plot hole.
Fans on Reddit brought up a particular problem with Laurent's age in the Daryl Dixon series. Laurent Carriere is a central character in the spinoff. He is described as an 11-year-old boy who was born just as the apocalypse began.
Laurent grew up in an abbey, shielded from the outside world's chaos by nuns. His birthdate is stated as 28 August 2010, and his mother tragically died during childbirth due to a zombie bite. The character's age and the series' timeline are the points of discussion among viewers.
The series confirmed that around 13 years have passed since the start of the zombie apocalypse to the main show's finale. This revelation came during Negan’s origin story episode in The Walking Dead season 10.
There were various time skips and events that have occurred throughout the series. The most significant time jump was in season 9, which leaped six years forward.
Fans questioned how Laurent could be 11 or 12 years old if he was born at the start of the apocalypse. Given that The Walking Dead ended 13 years into the apocalypse and the Daryl Dixon series takes place after that, the math seemed off.
It looks like there might be a slight inconsistency or oversight regarding Laurent's age in the Daryl Dixon series. If he was born at the apocalypse's start and The Walking Dead ended 13 years after the apocalypse began, Laurent should be around 13 years old, not 11 or 12.
A lot of viewers were pretty bummed out about how the timeline in The Walking Dead universe seemed all over the place. They pointed out how there were these random time jumps and events scattered across different seasons. It made fans scratch their heads in confusion, trying to come up with possible reasons for it.
