Good episode. Lots of Governor questions answered. Kind of slow but focused. I'm interested to see where they go with the Governor. His transformation into Brian seems like some sort of redemption arc. But I don't buy it, I don't even feel bad for him. When he was setting up the chess board you could see flashes of the Governor. His brutality is still there when he bashed in grandpa's skull and then dispatched several zombies with his bare hands and a femur.

Anyone think he can be redeemed? Will he be seeking revenge against Rick?

That was a fantastic episode. One of the best of the series. I honestly have no clue where they are headed with this Governor arc, but there's no way he can be redeemed. He sexually assaulted Maggie, killed a ton of people....living ones, and was the cause of Andrea's death.....well, maybe we can't fault him for that one. Lol

Slow start. Great finish. This has been the pattern for most of their episodes lately except the one where the prison fences got busted because of the walkers.

I find the governor to be a completely useless character now...they're trying to tell a story of his cold heart finding love for this little girl (obviously in light of his daughter being infected and killed), but honestly, who cares? Let the governor be the psychotic character he was intended to be, let them have their battle and let it find conclusion. I'm a bit frustrated with the idea that they are going to try and start the governor's story all over again it seems...with a rise to power again in the same way he did before.

Let the guy fight and die, lol.

Yeah, they probably should have done this arc in season 3. Would've made more sense.

seriously, guys. how long can you watch them kill zombies and look for places to survive before it gets old

i believe i am to that point already

It's not just about the zombie killing and finding new places... I enjoy the story behind it.

I'm about watching these people I've grown to care about struggle to keep their humanity in an impossible situation. The zombies are secondary to me.

I'm glad they got that over quickly. The governor is still his old self and going deeper into crazy town. This may be the end of the prison. Unless Rick has anti tank weapons.

Great episode. Almost makes me want the Governor to survive. Haha! Anyway, the mid-season finale is next week. Wonder who doesn't make it out?

Just watched it and it was great, this season has been a little slow IMO, glad something exciting finally happened.

Hated to see Herschel die, but glad the Governor is history.

While I did enjoy the episode I feel like we should have gotten this for the season finale last season. I'm let down with how they used the Governor. I really don't think that he ever planned that Rick would give up the prison. It wasn't about getting revenge on Michonne at all. He wanted revenge on Rick. He only wanted to speak with Rick. His comment to Hershel about his daughters not being his cemented that for me. The two episodes prior feel pretty wasted now. And then they just rolled into the prison and started destroying it. The Governor's new minions didn't even have a plan or direction. If only Carl had taken that shot, maybe the other group would have listened to Rick's speech. Tara had the best line of the episode by far after the Governor pulled a Theon Greyjoy on Hershel.

How long until they run into Carol and who will find her first?
