 * With a total of 14.6 million viewers received during the initial broadcast, this is the first season premiere that did not surpass the viewing figures of the previous season.[1]
 * This is the first season premiere since Season 2's "What Lies Ahead" to be 90 minutes long.
 * The title of the episode, "First Time Again", comes from a conversation between Morgan and Rick about getting to know each other again after such a long time apart.
 * This premiere episode closes up with an aerial shot of a massive herd of zombies threatening to kill Rick and/or his group, just like the ending of the Pilot / Season one premiere.
 * While filming the scene in which Rick threatens Carter by pointing a gun at him, Andrew Lincoln punched the wall behind him so many times trying to get angry for the situation, that he actually broke it, opening a hole clearly visible in the shot. This could have been fixed digitally, or simply covered up with Ethan Embry's (Carter) face.

Comic Parallels

 * Carter conspiring with Spencer, Francine, Tobin and Olivia to overthrow Rick is adapted from a similar scene in issue 89, where Nicholas is in charge of the conspiracy instead.
 * As Issue 89 was released in October 2011, this is notably the first episode to adapt comic issues that were released after the TV series premiered in October 2010.
 * Eugene being discovered listening to the conspiracy is adapted from a similar scene in issue 89, where Glenn discovers the conspiracy instead.
 * Rick pointing a gun to Carter's head to ask him if he thinks he can take the community from his group is adapted from a similar scene in issue 89, where Rick points a gun to Nicholas instead.
 * The walker herd being lured towards Alexandria after hearing a long horn is adapted from a similar scene in issue 78, where the herd is lured after hearing the gunshots from the Alexandria battle against the Scavengers.
