OGr8imL84AD8inF8sBlackSedan Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I thought that was a really good episode. Refreshing to see something different, and someone different, who did something different. I'm really interested to see what happens next and what they are going to do with Phil/The Governor/Bill. From what others who have read the comic say The Gov was a real POS. From what I'd heard about him I half expected him to pull out a gun and blast that whole family. Could he have done a 180? That was my favorite episode of the season so far. Oh...BTW...did ya see what the The Gov was driving after his friends dumped him??? It was a great big truck...a semi no less...The Gov is the smartest guy on the show!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 You guys need to read The Zombie Survival Handbook by Max Brooks (author of World War Z...and son of Mel Brooks). It addresses some of the methods of killing zombies that have been mentioned here. Example: Simply burning them is often more trouble than it's worth. This is because a walking zombie could accidentally set fire to everything in its path before his brain is finally destroyed which could take a long long time. Burning an immobile or completely leg less zombie is a good idea though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is because a walking zombie could accidentally set fire to everything in its path before his brain is finally destroyed which could take a long long time. Burning an immobile or completely leg less zombie is a good idea though I actually thought about that after I had mentioned they could've set the whole zombie herd on fire. Especially in the show where the prison is surrounded by trees. You could cause a forest fire that gets out of control. So, is there any good in the Governor? It seems as if the writers are re-inventing him. The Governor was good before he lost his wife and daughter, that's what sent him over the edge. They might be going for some king of redemption story with him. I still think he has bad intentions for some of the people at the prison, Michonne in particular.

drbirdsong Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I have a feeling the bad old Guv will be back next week. His new family that have adopted him are in danger after meeting up with his old crew. I am glad they humanized him, but I suspect darkness is on the horizon. What will happen to bring the Governor back to the prison? I doubt he came back to apologize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesweetscience Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 So, is there any good in the Governor? It seems as if the writers are re-inventing him.Thats what I kept thinking. The writers are giving me a reason to like this guy. It seems losing his wife and daughter may have been more than he could bare and before "it" happened he was probably a normal type family man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I think the Governor is a bad guy, the apocalypse simply allowed him to act it out. He's a very bitter and resentful man. That said, he and Rick are very much the same type of person with a razor thin difference between who is good and who is bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-digitation Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I don't trust him, much as he might be TRYING to change (as the actor alludes to). I suspect he'll fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on record as suggesting that the prison invest in a tank back in season three. The Governor is going to take over the prison. Rick and co. can't do anything to stop him.

I agree...and I find myself rooting for him. I'd rather watch more episodes about him than anybody else. It looked as if he was a changed man for a second there, and he was obviously trying to flee his past, but I guess old habits die hard. Do you think it was him who killed all those people in that tent camp with all the wire around it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah....welllll...Maybe I'm just rooting for a more interesting character, THE most interesting character on the show.

workingcinderellaman Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 This was my favorite episode to date. I got a great deal of enjoyment finally seeing an end to the governor. I'm sad Hershel is gone, but that's life in this series. I was also getting tiered of the prison. So I was thinking that if walkers can't even cross a river wouldn't an island be a great place to live? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 It was a very satisfying episode, one of the best yet. It was one of the few times when all the character motivation paid off and made sense. Hershel's death really put his character in focus. That smile on his face said it all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGr8imL84AD8inF8sBlackSedan Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I'm beginning to think I'm not cut out for these kinds of shows....I can't get no satisfaction. I liked The Gov as a good guy...I liked the way the actor portrayed him...I liked his character as Brian... But as soon as he goes bad again, I think the actor does a lousy job and the character is unbelievable. Michonne...never liked her and hate how they put her in all these samurai poses whenever she gets that sword in her hands. 'WHERE'S CARL???!!!"...Thought we were over that. Nobody ever knows where that kid is. He's what...'bout 14? Probably in the bathroom peeking through the keyhole. Herschel...Great character...Once again the writers do a wonderful job of getting rid of a good character with depth, but it took them almost three seasons to get rid of Lori. Daryl...Guess he can hook up with little blondie and not have to worry about dad nosing into their business....Yeah Daryl...Lay that pipe!!!! It'll be nice to see a change of scenery as well. The gray paint and bars motive of their last home was really wearing on me. I wonder if The Gov's latest chick is going to get back with her sister again and maybe they can hook up with Carol and form a lesbo squad to hunt down Rick and Co. It'll be interesting to see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadoood Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Finally watched it... DAMN!! Now THAT is television at its finest. We don't see enough decapetations , and this one was especially cool cause it was a half decap at first! I'm glad the prison is finally out of the picture as well.. I'm greatly looking forward to February! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
