Couple thoughts:

1. People are complaining the Governor isn't twisted enough? He keeps zombie heads, rapes captives, creates zombie MMA, and kills for no apparent reason. I thought the dude was plenty over the top.

2. I take it none of you have ever been to a prison. I've been to several and the fence lines are enormous. No freaking way they could ever build a trench around the fence line in a few months. And it would probably not be very effective at all, as Stu pointed out. The car idea does seem viable, though.

3. Michonne's motivations were obvious. The Governor essentially stole her best friend (Andrea) and she picked up quickly he was a bad dude.
I don't remember him raping any of the captives. He made Maggie get topless, but anything else is your imagination and was denied in the show. He was extremely brutal in the comics, and that is why many feel he was kind of watered down.

 
I don't have it anywhere near the best of the series, but it was definitely the best of the season.
It can't be a great episode when it's nothing but red shirts dying. The first 5 episodes so far have been the worst of the series.
:shrug: If you didn't enjoy last nights episode then I think this show has passed you by and it's time to move on..
The virus was a false jeopardy situation and it was obvious the main characters weren't going to die from it (except I thought they'd use it as a way for Herschel to make a heroic sacrifice for Glenn). I'll keep watching but this is an awfully cheesy show.
Now it's cheesy?

 
Thought this episode was easily the best of the season.

The only problem I had was the disjointed feel of watching all hell breaking loose in the prison block juxtaposed by the father/son moments outside. Rick did a little too much "That's my boy" staring while zombies were tearing down the fence. Probably should have stayed focused in that scene and reflected afterwards.

A little nitpicky but otherwise great episode with an excellent teaser at the end.

 
Are we now supposed to feel sympathy for the Governor?
not so much sympathy as building depth. He went :loco: after losing his family and they are showing that although he was a raving lunatic the way he ran Woodbury, there was a method go his madness. To protect that which he had by any means.
 
3 more episodes till the mid season break

My guess:

One more Governor episode, taking us up to him standing outside the Prison (Can't decide if he meets up with Carol before this)

then all hell breaks loose in the last two episodes.Walkers and the Governor's group attacking the prison

Carol will probably die and maybe Herschel

 
One of the best episodes in the last 2.5 seasons IMO.
Are you kidding me? So bad it blows my mind. :X
What? One of the few episodes with some decent development. The gov was a crappy character before. It's far better than the virus/fence/walker fake drama bull#### the last few episodes.
I'm with you, this was a great episode.
I also enjoyed it, and I didn't think I would at the beginning.

 
Interesting that they took a section out of the Rise of the Governor novel and sort of stole from it for this episode. Those that have read it will know what I mean.

 
I enjoyed the Governor teaching the kid about using pawns in chess.
They're soldiers.

It was interesting as he explaining it I was taking it as him rationalizing why he killed all of his Woodbury pawns. And then the girl drew the eyepatch on the king and I was like, okay, way to be overtly obvious show. No subtlety evah!

 
I loved the Guv's 2 lieutenants leaving him all alone in the middle of the night. If they were going to leave him though, don't you think they would have killed him? After all, they have just seen how crazy he gets when people turn against him.

Enjoyed last nights episode. Thought the nursing home was going to be the place Rick was hospitalized, and featured in one of the webisodes this year. A little disappointed it wasn't

And if they are going to let him live why save him if they find him again?

 
So awesome to hear Ben Nichols from Lucero on the show last night. His was the song at the beginning during the Governor's journey. Not only a great singer, but a cool guy, as well. Happy for him.

I took it as they were tired of saving his butt and his nonchalant "if I live I live, if I don't, I don't" attitude. :shrug:

so they decided to let him fend for himself and if he lived he lived, if he didn't he didn't.

He is weak now, or at least was at that point, and they don't fear him anymore which is evident in the trailers for next week.

what was the name of the song, and any Youtube links to it as I enjoyed it during the episode and would like to hear it san the Guv. :thanks: in advance.

I took that as two seperate points. The pawn explanation and then showing how the girl has accepted him.

Cool episode. Was weird seeing the governor as an errand boy. Also unsettling constantly trying to determine his intentions. Thought a few times he might take off with with "New Penny". Possibly after letting grandpa eat the other two.
