![]() Random TWD question: How did it take these guys the entire winter to stumble upon the prison when it's right over the tree line from their campsite? They have maps, for God's sake. You probably have to know somebody who works there. In real life: Despite random Internet chatter claiming the show was filmed at a real Georgia prison outside of Zebulon, the "West Georgia Correctional Facility" you know and love is actually the back lot of Raleigh Studios Atlanta. Much to the disbelief of everyone they later come across, the group clears the prison of zombies on their own and settles in. In the show: Their lives upended once again after being driven from the farm, the group spends the winter awkwardly watching Rick and Lori not talk about their feelings before stumbling across an abandoned (and overrun) prison. Random TWD question: Does Lori push Rick away after he reveals he killed Shane because: a) she's horrified that he could kill his best friend, even though she instigated it b) she was upset that Carl was the one that put Shane down c) she loved Shane more than Rick all along? We think it's C - what's your take?

In real life: They were set up at Elders Mill Road Waterfall and Campsite, a local spot marked by the stone remnants of old grist mills. In addition to defending the killing of Shane, Rick makes his kick-ass "get-onboard-or-get-out-you-couldn't-survive-two-minutes-without-me-this-is-NOT-a-democracy" speech as the season comes to a close with a CGI shot of the prison on the other side of the lake. In the show: The farm overrun and group (sans Andrea) reunited, the survivors make camp by this waterfall after running out of gas.

In real life: Much closer to the city than the show's skyline shots might lead you believe (as in, a few miles from downtown), the site's a former 100yr-old granite quarry that was bought by the city in 2006, and is being converted into a 300-acre park and reservoir. It's eventually overrun by walkers, forcing the group to move on, but not before Amy's sister is killed, Shane kicks the crap of Carol's deadbeat husband, and Rick is reunited with Lori and Carl.

Is it so hard to say, "Look, man, we've been to the f*ck#ng CDC and we know for a fact THEY'RE NOT HUMAN ANYMORE!!!"?Ħ. Random TWD question: Why does no one in the group ever reference Dr. The CDC building depicted in the show is actually the 2,750-seat Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center, about 11mi northwest of the city, and most of the interiors were shot on a set inside the Georgia World Congress Center. In real life: The actual CDC is located in Atlanta (about 8.5 miles from the real survivors' camp) and - no matter what you read in some chat room - is NOT rigged to blow sky high in case of emergency. After a rip-roaring night of boozing, the generators run out of fuel and our crew narrowly escapes before the building self-destructs. Edwin Jenner, the agency's last remaining employee.
