Trivia

 * First (and last) appearance of Candace Jenner. (Video Tape, Corpse)
 * Last appearance of Jacqui. (Alive)
 * Last appearance of Edwin Jenner.
 * Last appearance of the CDC.
 * The title of the episode, "TS-19", refers to the fact that Dr. Edwin Jenner's wife, Candace Jenner, was Test Subject 19.
 * The building shown as the CDC is actually the Cobb Energy Center, which is a performing arts center in Atlanta.
 * After Rick tells Jenner "I'm grateful", Jenner counters, "the day will come when you won't be", a phrase eventually used as the title for the Season 7 premiere.
 * The bulk of the whisper is audible on the Season 1 Blu-ray, if you significantly increase the center channel to isolate the dialogue. The first two sentences are, "It's in your blood. We're all carriers."
 * This was revealed in "Beside the Dying Fire", where it was explained that Rick didn't believe Jenner until he witnessed it for himself.
 * Two of the walkers seen at the end of this episode were actually Gale Anne Hurd's daughter and one of her daughter's friends.[1]
 * The song that plays over the end credits is, "Tomorrow is a Long Time" by Bob Dylan.
 * Edwin Jenner's password was 6-9-6-9.
 * Jenner said that Test Subject 19 resurrected after 2 hours, 1 minute and 7 seconds. This is the same time the clock reads when Rick wakes up from his coma.
 * Robert Kirkman has expressed that he is disappointed with how the CDC plot line turned out. He said in one of his interviews, "If I had to do it again, I wouldn't have done the CDC episode. It possibly gave away too much information and was such a big change very early on in the series. I feel like there might have been a better way to wrap up the first season. But there were things in that episode that I think seem very much not of The Walking Dead world. I've been careful in the comic series to not say what's happening in other parts of the world. It's something that's going to be fun to explore in the spin-off series. But the fact that France is mentioned in that episode and other things like that, I probably would have steered away from that stuff if I had to do it all over again."
 * Frank Darabont was the one who came up with the idea of CDC story line.
 * This episode takes place on the same day as "Things Bad Begun" and "Sleigh Ride" of Fear The Walking Dead.

Comic Parallels

 * Lori scratching Shane's face is adapted from Issue 6.
 * Dale telling Andrea that she doesn't get to decide killing herself after becoming so close is adapted from a smiliar scene in Issue 65, where the situation is inverse.
