I like that they're trying to reboot the Governor's character until something less cartoonish and more human. It's a much better route than if they carried on with the same conflict from last year immediately. Perhaps they can make his storyline a compelling one this time.

It was definitely not your regular episode of TWD. It's pretty much a short film encompassing one story, but I think it worked. At least they recognized they needed to do something to make his character more interesting.

I didn't care for last night's episode. I was really enjoying this season and wasn't very happy when the Governor popped up last week. It felt like a step back. Now they are dedicating whole episodes to him, which breaks up the momentum the season had.
Also, the episode was reallllly slow: Lady: *asks Gov a question* Gov:................................................................................................ .. . . . . . . Gov: *mumble* |

I thought it was great. Episodes like this is what makes you care for characters. Shit I almost wish he got to be the leader of the spinoff show. Would make a good back history. Then have the groups meet back up in a couple seasons to see how they interact. |

I'm usually all for character development. That said, last night's episode was terribly boring.

I thought last nights episode was pretty good...I assume this will tie in with the current story soon. Glad they are getting some character development in rather than just have him show up again

You could either abandon the Governor's story entirely (which I wouldn't have been opposed to, but it's hard to just leave that huge thread hanging there) or you have to do something like this by rebooting his character. An episode like this may end up paying off down the road even more when he comes back into conflict with the main group.

Yeah, wasn't a fan of The Governor, but Governor Plissken presented some interesting developments.

I thought Sunday's episode was very good. I liked how they went back and developed his character. I did find the women he hooked up with to be a bit annoying.

Did we ever find out for certain who burned the walkers in the pit from last season? I forget.

[QUOTE=KC_Lee;10204465]It was Milton, the Gov's nerdy buddy. The Gov killed Milton because he brunt all the walkers.
