Been reading various reviews of the show, and a thought hit me:
It would have been kind of cool if they would have let the Governor actually seem to be redeemed (without doing all the psychotic nasty shit that he did in the last episode to seize power of his new camp). So, he seems like he's redeemed. We feel like maybe he's redeemed. He still launches the plan to take the prison, which is still a sound plan even for a redeemed man. After all, Rick and his group did kind of screw him and Woodbury, so I think he could be "redeemed" and still want to find a new home for his new family.
Everything goes down exactly the same up to Rick's speech at the gates. Rick makes the speech. The governor seems to be considering it. The audience is wondering, "Is there redemption? Will the governor and Rick coexist?" Then Michonne (somehow having gotten free) walks up behind the Governor and beheads him. Battle then ensues.
That moves things more into the grey area that I prefer with the morality of my shows.
