I think Jax was really mad at Clay...

Jax delivered, technically. The DA isn't having it, though. I admit, in the first big twist in tonight's ep, I shot straight up in my seat.

I really enjoyed the most recent Walking Dead that focussed on the Governor.

I imagine that Carol is in that camp? I don't believe that she ever saw him or met him.

I realize that this is probably a stupid complaint, but the near zombie free utopia town they were in really bothered me. There has not been one single place like that the entire series, then we get the governor barely moving for miles at a time with not a zombie in site. The old crippled zombies, and bathtub zombie bothered me too, we have never seen zombies let missing parts slow them down. Why would anyone leave that place that was somehow safe as can be? Just too inconsistent with everything else in the show.

I agree. I didn't like the idea of a Governor only episode going into it, but it definitely delivered. It showed something different in the Governor, and I'm not sure if we should be convinced that he has changed, or if it is a red herring. I'm leaning towards red herring. Much like with Homeland/Brody, I was hoping that the Governor would just disappear, never to be heard from again, but it looks like The Walking Dead has done a 100 times better job of bringing the Governor back into the fold as Homeland has with Brody.

Speaking of Homeland. It has jumped the shark. I still watch it, but it doesn't have the punch it did that first season. Brody should have been killed, and a solid replacement character and storyline should have replaced him. Right now it seems like it is in limbo, and it just isn't working for me.

Yeah, even if he maybe wants to change, I'd imagine that events will conspire to take his choices (in his mind anyway) away from him.

He'll probably go to barbaric lengths to protect his new "daughter." He's still a bad guy although what was the line from Star Wars (not to be a dork or anything)... "Good and bad is a matter of perspective?"


Either way, I like the parallel story lines and would guess that there is at least one more governor episode to come as we're not on the same timeline as the prison yet.

Thinking of that, Carol couldn't be with the new group yet as she'd still be in the prison as it's not even summer in the Governor's timeline.


As I suspected, they drew me back in after what I thought was a lackluster start to the season.

On Talking Dead after that episode they were talking about how the Governor can kill hundreds of people, hold zombie death matches for entertainment, and keep aquariums of dead zombie heads one season, and the next season all he has to do is rescue one little girl and he's now a good guy.

So is Anna Gunn being cast as Ellie in the American remake of Broadchurch the worst sentence ever? No. Emmy-winner Anna Gunn being cast as Ellie in the American remake of Broadchurch is the worst sentence ever.

Yeah, I thought it was kinda odd that the Guv would zip himself into his little tent at night, and blissfully snooze the night away without worrying about any zombies coming around. Being stuck inside that tent is just making yourself a Hot Pocket for any zombies in the area. But we'll let it ride for dramatic purposes.

The episode before this, didn't we see the Guv standing outside the prison?

Yes, but the timing is different. The "Rick" timeline at the prison is weeks/months/etc ahead of the "Governor" timeline at this point. We saw the Governor come in at the end of the last prison episode, then this last episode went back in time to right after the governor slaughtered his people. At the end of the last episode, with the Governor, Rick is at the prison preparing for his growing season for his beans and other vegitables that we see him and Carl eating before we see the Governor outside the prison.

Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical

Yes, I know, I was just wondering what's gonna happen between where the Guv is now, and when he shows back up at the prison. Does he have his new "family" with him, seeking a safe haven, or is he up to no good?

I'm betting the latter.

He's gotta know that they'd never take him in or help him. He's got a death sentence waiting for him at the prison.


Either that or the show has its leather coat on while it approaches the ramp on water skis...

There is no way they'd take in the Governor, at least Rick wouldn't. He kicked Carol out for less than the Governor did. So I agree with you, if they take him back in....thats complete BS. I'm guessing he has organized a group at that point, and he's looking to "take" the prison from Rick's group.

Michonne, Glen, Maggie... even Darryl although he'd have no way of knowing that the Governor shot Merle.

There'd be a line to get at the Guv.


I'm actually looking forward to a power struggle at the new camp. Doubt he wants to now be the Lt. Governor.

Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical

Right, there's no way they take the Guv in, but what if he's just dropping his "family" off, knowing they'll be safe there, and then goping his own way.

On another note, Person of Interest continues to be just terrific. Although very derivative of The Warriors and 16 Blocks, it still worked. And I knew that this was gonna happen, cause the previews were pointing so hard towards it being someone else. But I figured it was gonna be Shaw.
