Did he dump the guy in the lake just so he could come back and see him?

I thought for sure Carol would be with the group. Cause I don't think the Governor or Martinez ever met her

This last episode is right around the same time as Carol's exile.

He wants to put Michonne in there with him and then Rick to round out his collection.

still, seems a bit of a stretch for that camp to want to go attack the prison, tank or no.

Martinez deserved to die. Should've just shot himself 5 minutes after pulling the Governor out of that hole.

My dvr cut off just as the Gov was pointing his gun at Micchione, what happened after that?

Governor is so boring. And seriously, if you're Rick's crew and the Governor's people show up demanding admittance, don't you just allow everyone but him in? They do after all need to resupply redshirts. Also, the Governor wants the prison because it's easily defensible, but no one considers that the prison being easily defensible makes taking it hard as hell?

So, should we assume the Gov dies in this ensuing battle? The rest of the season, when they come back, will be about finding a new home and such. Many people will die? Probably from the Gov side and not so much from the prison side.

As he was dragging him and holding him over the pit he kept yelling "I don't want it.. I DON'T WANT IT!!

So he packs up the family and
off.. Only to get blocked by a bunch of Zombies trapped in Mud/Quicksand..He is willing to just make the current camp work, until his daughter is almost taken out by a wandering Zombie..
That is enough for the real Guv to return, kill the wimpy brother and threaten the strong one into either working with him or joining his brother in death.
Absolutely loved the last two episodes. Having the Guv go from .. I don't care if I live, to being part of a family and having us be somewhat sympathetic towards him, to him going back over the edge and becoming who he really is again was great writing. The part of him looking into the water and seeing the wimpy brother trapped below the surface was a great remembrance of just how crazy he is..

I wonder if the Gov was the one who shot the people in the other camp?

And all the supplies went where?
No, but that was a big reason he wanted to get his new family out of there. Their camp wasn't any more secure than that one, so they were in danger.

Didn't realize the one guy was the other guys brother. Other guy didn't seem too upset Guv killed his bro once Guv made him smoke. I hope no one ever stands on Guvs docks and sees the water zombie bro. That would be awkward.
Lesbian girl got it :crackin: with the other girl really fast unless I missed something. Good for them.
Makes a lot of sense that the Guv who knows his way around pretty well would leave the camp with the fam using a road with a huge ### mud puddle in the middle of it. Those pop up all the time I guess.

That was one pretty weak scene. Guy is driving along on a pretty even pavement and all the sudden he stops because there a huge, zombie-filled mud bath taking place.
Good points on the tank (where do you get the gas?) That tank would be like a dog whistle for zombies. Makes so much noise every zombie for miles around would be after it. Although it would work as the pied piper for zombies to the prison.
Brun. Was wondering about that too. How in the world do you knock out a full camp of people and not make enough noise to draw the gov's group back and bring in every zombie in the neighborhood to the area.
Other than the above points, I thought it was a good episode.

So the tank is a pretty big deal in the comics, right? I stumbled across something by accident on Instagram of all places which said it was.
Solid episode but a little surprised Brian turned back so quickly to being the Governor. All it took was a chance to do Woodbury Redux and off he's going again and back on the "I Must Have The Prison And My Revenge" storyline.
That little girl sure is getting one helluva sex education. First Brian and Choke Slut Mom go at it 2 feet away from her. Now Aunt Lez and her new gal pal are shackin up.

Actually it was his new daughter getting attacked by a wandering Dead that made the "real" guv show back up..
Until then he was still trying to figure out how to make the current camp save for all..
Once she got attacked he realized the only place "safe" from the dead was the prison.. Being able to get revenge is an added bonus.
can't wait for Sunday.

Yeah but it still seemed like the switch got flipped back on pretty quickly. I realize he's a pretty bad guy and ultimately it was likely to re-surface anyway. Just thought maybe it would take a little longer given what transpired in the last episode.Actually it was his new daughter getting attacked by a wandering Dead that made the "real" guv show back up..

I'm looking forward to next Sunday too. It's my hope this time the showdown at the prison has a lot more punch than last season's.

Typing this on the phone so hopefully the spoiler tag works.
On the preview the Gov mentions that the prison group will come looking for their people, which makes me think he either captured or killed Michonne or Herschel. I don't think they would kill off Michonne yet but I think Herschel is a goner.

Guess so. As soon as they showed it my son about jumped up out of his chair and let out a big YES!

Rick might want to fill the Gov's new friends in on what happened the last time he attacked.
Is this storyline really going to come to a conclusion next week? Seems like going from "I know of this safe place..." to battle completion is a lot for one episode. Mid-battle (or earlier) cliffhanger sounds more likely.

Didn't seem as if there were all that many badasses in the Gov's camp. Difficult to imagine him convincing people to attack.
mr roboto

When the gov packed up the family and encountered the walkers on the road, he realized going out on his own wasn't safe. He also doesn't feel safe with anyone else running things. So he needs a camp and other people, but can't trust anyone else to lead. Since his moral compass is solely, only on protecting 'his own' the only option is to take over.
He can't just ask the other leaders to step down. That never works. The only sure fire way is to make them disappear. 'Everyone loves a hero' - this is how he can keep the old leader honored in the minds of the people while seizing control.
I also don't believe his attack on the prison is revenge based. If you believe my statement above that his sole concern is to protect his own, Rick's group is simply in a better secure location. It's an old-school battle of resources.
Come to think of it, the way the world works in TWD is very similar to an ancient tribal warfare mentality. There's no overriding govt, no law, no safety net. The only way to survive is to either establish some semblance of order by cooperation/democracy (Rick) or a totalitarian ruler (Gov). The relative strengths and weaknesses of these 2 approaches is what fascinates me.

"There's certainly no reason for me to bide my time and stab you in the back when you least expect it, guvna."

Surely don't expect a "run and hide" by the guv.. This will be a battle to the end... I haven't read past this part of the book so pure speculation on my part but...
I see "the end" being Rick and the survivors take off running with whatever they have available to them and the Guv and whoever survives from his group to take over the prison.
Then again, the guv and many of the attackers could die, but do enough damage to the fences and the walls of the prison to make Rick realize the Prison is no longer a safe haven..
This will bring back what has basically been left in the wind... the radio transmission.... and the group deciding to head out and find where the transmission came from.
lots of ways this could end.. but a mid-season cliff hanger is all but a guarantee.

How they never address the fuel issue is a pet peeve of mine on this show.
How is it handled in the comics?

They don't get all caught up in semantics and just enjoy the comic book as a comic book.

I dont think addressing gas and fueling issues is "getting caught in semantics" it would be a huge deal.

and why would the Gov be driving an old Ford pickup instead of a newer truck or SUV?
