Do we need to start putting spoiler tags on our game-day thread posts?

Good episode. I didn't think it was the best ever, but it was solid.
My expectations might have been tool high after seeing all the glowing praise on here and Facebook.

This is standard operating procedure for shows 'round here. Once it's aired, it's open season. If you don't want to read spoilers from aired shows, don't show your face here until you've seen the episode. This isn't rocket science.

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.

On Talking Dead when Robert Kirkman was asked directly about the fate of Judith he replied, “I don’t know there was an awful lot of blood in that car seat.”
Spoiler!

man I get kinda messed up because I read the two compendiums months ago...so I get the book and the comic confused at times. I went back and looked at the death of Penny...and she clearly had her teeth when Michone ran the sword thru her mouth....so I'm betting the gov didn't open mouth kiss her after all. but he sure did in the comic.
I don't remember how the comic resolved the gov....but man....I SO SO SO was hoping he'd have been left to die and come back as a walker!!! loved the chick showing up at the end as a walker....the one who had her chopped up zombie hubby in a potato sack...

I much, much prefer the characterization of the Gov in the show over the comic. In the comics, he's a caricature of pure evil, and he's rather flat. Morrissey - especially in these last few episodes - created a layered character with the depth, much more interesting than the comics. That said, I am also at a loss for how they'll handle Negan. My original thought was they were going to combine Negan and the Gov, so the Gov post-Woodbury would find a new home and rule in much the manner Negan does... obviously that didn't happen. |
