Could have happend off screen between seasons. I just know its a pile of precision work to put silencers on weapons and machinists appreciate that kind of effort. A webisode would be.cool. add some dialog that supports the cannon story arc while they prepare the silencers and other.anti zombie devices

I don't care if it was given away, Daryl lives or I riot. I was wondering how they would handle the Governor-Michonne fight, being that the comic version was way more graphic.

Good episode. I was actually expecting the rescue to end up with walkers breaking into woodbury(since that seems to be the purpose of all fortifications in zombie stories) And then having the question if its worth endangering so many lives for two people.
If Daryl escapes, Im guessing its because they forgot to check him for flash bangs in his pockets( since you a hell of a lot smoke in the arena in the preview) I.m also guessing with the help of andrea, possibility pointing a gun at the guvna.

Villian or not I still think Michonne was wrong for killing the Governor's daughter.

Great episode. How can Andrea continue to be so naive about the Guv'nor?

Villian or not I still think Michonne was wrong for killing the Governor's daughter. She was a zombie. This isn't the world of the film Warm Bodies where the zombies are still people. In TWD's world every zombie needs to be put down.

How can Andrea continue to be so naive about the Guv'nor? Oh, I think that look on her face at the end of the episode (the slow realization of who those "terrorists" really were) was I believe her naivety taking a big nosedive. If she remains loyal to him (without it being a feign), she's lost all credibility. Villian or not I still think Michonne was wrong for killing the Governor's daughter. Did he say she was his daughter? Amidst all his begging & pleading (maybe the most honest and heartfelt he's been since debuting on this show) I may've missed that. There wasn't a lot of context given to either Michonne or Andrea in that scene (some, but not a lot - and less so to Andrea since she walked in on it all).

In other news Norman Reedus and Michael Rooker will voice their respective characters in Activision's Walking Dead game Michael Rooker is building up quite a relationship with Activision. He voiced himself in the Call of the Dead BlOps DLC, he voices an actual character in BlOps2's campaign, and now this.

I dont think the t writers understood the governor from the comic. He was just a control freak ruthless asshole. But the Tv version i actually have empathy for . He lost all he had an is just trying to hold on to a small piece of his past Penny. A far as the heads he said it himself , it was to prepare himself for the horrors that await on the outside. Shooting the national guard was only to keep what he had from being taken over.
Think about it the prison seems safer but it will still be a prison Woodbury feels like what was before. Thats what he wants to cling onto , the Governor is a good guy. I think Rick is actually becoming the bad guy in all this , might even snap if the Shane flashback is an indication of things to come.

Yeah, making an innocent woman think you're going to rape her totally makes him the good guy...

A good guy wouldn't ambush and kill innocent people just to keep himself in power, send out others to kill a person who just wants to leave, threaten to rape a woman just to rattle her, or decide to wipe out another group just 'cause. The stuff with his kid may make him a bit sympathetic, but the Governor's still a clear-cut bad-guy.
Also, am I the only one who thinks that him turning on Merle may be a ruse?

No way it's a ruse. Merle's lie cost the Governor his eye and more importantly, Penny. The only way them Dixon boys can get out of this is if Andrea somehow convinces the crowd that their execution should be delayed or something.

No i think he left Merle out of the loop so he can be more convincing to Darryl. Then he will pull him to the side an he will tell him to be his inside man. {Spoiler}much like the doctor was is in the comics All i want from this is to read Danny trejo was spotted on the set of the walking dead.

Shooting the national guard was only to keep what he had from being taken over. He's not protecting the people of Woodsbury for them, he's doing it for himself so they owe him their lives and he is protected. That's why the soldiers were killed, they would've been an enormous help to the town but they were also a potential threat. I think it's great that they've made The Governor a more human character. The comic version is great as just an evil character but with the show version you get something with a lot more depth. The scenes with Penny were fantastic and you do have sympathy for him, but like I was saying to my friend, the guy is still a power-hungry ruthless psychopath. Except this time, you get an idea of what made him like this.

Thats what he wants to cling onto , the Governor is a good guy. I think Rick is actually becoming the bad guy in all this , might even snap if the Shane flashback is an indication of things to come. They're writing the Governor very similarly to how real life dictators and despots often act -- i.e. under the guise that everything is for the people, and the aggrandizing of them at large above all outsiders. The reality though is that while the ideals he brings forth are often good, the man himself is sociopathic, cruel and controlling, and the more control he loses, the more his true colors surface. He knows, deep down, that Rick and the others at the Prison threaten his ultimate control. He wants one unified regime under him. And any other options are unacceptable, because if others choose say the Prison over Woodbury, he loses what he craves and what he'll kill for : his power. He was a nobody before. And he's desperate to cling to his new-world power.

Man, I used to have some jean shorts like that too. I slept in them shits, man. Eventually, I blew the crotch out them things, but you can't wear 'em everyday and expect for 'em to hold up. That's some nice rear end denim too. I miss those shorts. But you gotta take 'em off every now and then! You gotta take 'em off, son!
