BuzzersonKillwell Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I like him as an antagonist, but tonight was a bit of a miss for me personally. I'd potentially be more interested if they didn't tease him in the present the week prior. Sucks a lot of the tension out of any situations prior knowing he is gonna be fine. It is hard for me to imagine the time spent on that character is ever going to be worth. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Loyd Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I thought last nights episode was great. Didn't expect the Gov to be back so soon but I'm digging the twist in the story in every way. Very interested to see how the others react. Mind still blown that 80% of the cast is British though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewest Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I hated last night's episode. I thought the whole season had been building up to some crazy internal conflict especially now between Rick, Daryl & Tyreese, & then they throw in this worthless episode centered around the Gov. Thought it was a GIANT buzzkill. & now it looks like next week will be all Gov once again. I was pumped at the end of last week to see the Gov pop out of nowhere, but I thought it was a horrible idea to have the entire next episode center around him. My guess is that next week will lead to him being outside the prison & then we'll be back on track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviex2shoes Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 My guess is that next week will lead to him being outside the prison & then we'll be back on track. That's what I was thinking and said to my brother and wife, but they're thinking we're going to get a few more than just next week before we get back to that scene, like that scene will be the start of the last 3 episodes kind of thing. I don't really want that to happen, so we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzersonKillwell Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 The whole digression was stupid. I feel like they fucked themselves by going to the gimmick at the end of last episode. Look, we know from the episode prior he is back to being THE antagonist at the prison in the very near future. At least it was strongly implied. While I'm theoretically fine with a digression to see what he has been up to what I'm not really interested in seeing the story they presented. Are they trying to humanize the guy who just murdered an assload of people, or show the complexity of his character? We've already seen them take a stab at that, I don't need to see it again. If they HADN'T shown him back at the prison I might be more interested in seeing how his current situation plays out. I'll wait and see what they do with him but fuck man.... I dunno. They started pretty good this season too.

batman Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 it reminds me of what they did on 'lost' going into the hatch. 3 episodes to get anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Avatar Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 let's assume that they only made out / maybe he made it to second base because there is NO way you could have sex and not wake the other two people up. They would be barely sleeping as is, because of the fact that they are in a truck and there are walkers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetsfan4ever80 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I loved this episode - my favorite so far this season. I thought they did a fantastic job of building on the nuances and complexities of The Governer's psyche. Sure, some moments were cheesy, but overall I thought it was brilliant. When we were first introduced to The Governor, he appeared to be rather compassionate with positive intentions. After the death of his daughter (zombie version) the switch was flipped. Finally, after the murdering spree he broke, and this child has given him an opportunity to reconnect with his humane side that was lost with the death of his daughter. I'm happy they added this wrinkle to the story. Instead of the predictable, Governor vs The Prison, we have the potential for so many story lines. Will The Governor seek forgiveness from The Prison? Will he merely ask for The Prison to take in this family? Will he revert to his psychopathic ways and seek revenge? How will Michonne react to a potentially merciful Governor? He has an opportunity for some semblance of redemption, I can't wait to see how he handles it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Do you think he was actually compassionate, or just appeared that way? I mean, didn't they show the zombie heads in the first episode. Clearly something was always a little off about the guy. If they want to reset the character a little bit, I'm with it. Maybe they'll nail adding complexity to is character this year where they failed in the prior. Previously he wasn't complex so much as uneven. Taken as a stand-alone episode, ignoring anything from the past, I thought it was fine. I do agree it does open some doors. Like I said, I'll wait to see how it plays out. I'm still carrying a lot of S2 and S3 complaints I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harryq Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Do you think he was actually compassionate, or just appeared that way? I mean, didn't they show the zombie heads in the first episode yeah, and I'm pretty sure the military massacre thing was in his first or second episode. and there's no way in hell that a governor / prison-folk mixing is going to happen. michonne /did/ kill his zombie daughter, so I can't see the gov being too friendly with them, and rick /did/ just banish carol (someone he's known for ~2 years) for killing two people with the flu who probably would have died shortly thereafter... that said, I'd love to hear the governor answer rick's three questions rick: how many walkers have you killed? governor: lots. just the other day, I killed one by ripping out its spine using only my hands! rick: how many people have you killed? governor: ooh... since I single-handedly murdered the majority of the able-bodied people of woodbury or before...? rick: why? governor: well, I had this cool aquarium setup in my closet...

albie007 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 ^ Plus what kind of parent fucks a dude in the back of a truck with your daughter 4 feet away ^ Well its the end of the civilized world. They spent the entire time cooped up in an apartment building watching the father slowly die. (Not to mentioned seeing his head bashed in) and listening to fellow zombie tenants. Sounds like Bizness time to me! I think most parents have had a slow/quiet/passionate romp with the kiddoes not too far away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Avatar Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Mike - I could totally see that, but he might only show up if everyone else dies / has died. We still don't know who was feeding the walkers those opossums?. It could have been him ( although I think it was from the insides) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could have been him ( although I think it was from the insides) yeah I cant imagine he was the one feeding the zombies, and I wouldnt be surprised since they have part of the fence cut to get in/out easy and we dont know how far back in the time line we jumped back to start the new gov storyline. the zombie feeding happened only a couple days prior to where the story stopped at the prison, right?

catalinacaper Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 So it's officially full circle with the comics. The Governor is coming in for the final assault, some people (I won't say who) are going to die, and my guess is the horde is going to show up just in time to finish off the governor storyline.
