Great episode again tonight. It was nice to get a break from the prison. I'm sure we're all suppose to hate the Governor, but I came away from this episode starting to like him. But as it was ending, I thought for sure he was going to turn his back on those women and leave them for dead and take the kid. But I guess people change?

No...but that's what they want you to think...for now.

They did a great job getting sympathy for him. You almost forget he murdered 20 townspeople in cold blood :lol:

Yeah but that look in his eye (literally :lol:) when he burned that picture and obviously decided to replace his old family with that chick (who is pretty hot, BTW) and her daughter laid plenty of groundwork for that old pathology to come back...just a matter of time. Remember he got everyone at Woodbury to buy in too, Jim Jones style.

I thought it was pretty slow moving and lame. Being an emo crybaby doesn't get sympathy from me, if that's what they were trying to do.

It was slow, but I am willing to wait and see where they go with it. It could be that the backstory in this episode becomes critical later and was necessary to introduce, even if they had to spend an episode doing it. That would be the optimistic option. The pessimistic option would be that this entire episode is one big "WTF" moment that I talked about in earlier posts...things that are shown that have no real purpose whatsoever. I guess we'll see. I seriously hope they do something with the psychology of his family replacement (and the general metaphor of a woman bringing in a man she hardly knows to act like a father to her child, which happens a lot) and it wasn't just an excuse to get Morrissey on camera and show him laying wood.

If anything I sort of read it as he was beaten down and broken...until he saw the girl in the window, which gave him a rebirth of sorts. I saw the sociopath come out, manipulating and conniving, already. I hope I wasn't seeing things, because if this becomes a mamby pamby "everyone is good, everyone is evil" bullshit amateur psychology hour, this show is going to go to total shit in a hurry.

seems like a way to introduce another group as well, judging by the trailer for next week. Looked like the Mexican guy is now the leader of his own band of rebels who don't mind attacking other survivors.

Yeah that will last for, what, 2 episodes before the Governor offs him? :lol: Definitely looks like a new group is in play, will be interesting to see how they go with it. My guess is the Gov goes all Jim Jones again and has them eating out of the palm of his hand by the end of the season, when a big showdown will commence with the prison. They may make it about Gov versus Rick, but I hope it's actually Gov versus Michonne in a fight to the death...that would be interesting to see.

So it all pretty much played out exactly like I said it would last week :lol: This story arc is kind of boring, but I am hoping that the big showdown does something to spice things up. It appears that we are going to get some character turnover as we head towards the December break (next week is the midseason final/teaser), so we'll see where they go with it. But him killing the weak, the infirmed, and anyone who knows about his past should pretty much answer whether he has changed or not.
