** "The day will come when you won't be", first said by Dr. Jenner in the first season finale as he warns Rick that living to fight another day will be something he will one day regret. This phrase ends up the title of the Season 7 premiere that completely changes the show with a massive TraumaCongaLine that all but says that this day is ''finally'' the day that Rick wishes he and his group had just died back in Season 1.
** "Too far gone" for Season 4, as the season revolves around the theme that anybody ''can'' come back from the awful things they do to survive.
** "Can't go back" for Season 5's first part, as both heroes and villains recognize that there is truly no going back to the society before The Fall. "Wolves not far" for the back half as it builds up the approach of the Wolves.
** "You are not safe" from Season 5-6. First heard when Rick tells Carl this to keep him on his guard during the Fear the Hunters arc in which Rick became a much more confident, realized post-apocalyptic leader.

*** "Bad Wolf" is also something of a subversion in that the words kept appearing (although less often) after the "arc" was concluded, because the words were across all of time and space, so they wouldn't be expected to only appear where they were actually needed. And then it is DoubleSubverted when [[spoiler:the crack between universes becomes less severe, heralding Rose's return to the show for a few episodes.]]
*** The phrase also appears in the DVD release of [[Recap/DoctorWhoS6E3TheInvasion "The Invasion"]] (with animation replacing the {{Missing Episode}}s). From the Doctor's perspective, that's long ''before'' the arc...
*** Since ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'' is set in the same universe as ''Doctor Who'', it's not surprising that "Bad Wolf" has appeared there as well (on the wall behind Jack and Toshiko when they go back in time).
