But yeah, in the real world, even the Walking Dead's... sexy virus'd up zombies wouldn't work too well.

However, the whole 'uber-rabies' take on a zombie scourge is much more realistic as far as RL is concerned. Carriers would act completely animalistic/berserker and try to attack anyone in their vicinity, the CNS(central nervous system) becomes depressed which systemically dampens the response to pain, the rabies virus can be spread through bites, etc. etc.

However, even people with rabies could still be killed as easily as an average joe.

Which they are n 28 Days Later. Not my favorite zombie franchise, but if any of them come close to realistic spreading of the disease, it's that one.

How long you think the Governor will stick with that "new family" of his? Since Martinez knows the real him, I'm guessing it won't turn out well.

He should have shot Megan.

New chick is hot, I'd give her the dick.

Boss status, right there.

I liked this episode. The Governor was something of a typical "cartoon" villain in season 3. The lying, charming, deceptive maniac who just wants control and breaks down when things stop going his way. His zombie daughter provided some depth, but with everything that went on in that season, it wasn't explored. Giving "Brian" his own episodes was a smart move. He has the potential and a good enough actor to be a very interesting character all on his own. Showing his transformation from the Governor to Brian through remorse, pain, and maybe even redemption will make for a helluva scene when he inevitably has to confront Rick and the Gang.

The comics be damned, TV Governor is way better. The show is finally becoming interesting again, not just entertaining.

^ It was a good episode. Different and intriguing.

And here I thought that we were gonna be treated to an epic bloodbath in this episode. But no, pussified Governor is what we get.

What next, are they going to pull off a *Vampire Diaries/The Originals* and end up giving the character his own show as well?

The standard formula would be to have his character ultimately sacrifice himself to save them, even after they find out what he was like. Hopefully they'll do something different.

I think this was a believable portrayal of the Guvna after he's lost everything he built. I also doubt he's going to stay this way.

It's a far cry from someone who completely went off the rails in the previous season. Though it might be my general frustration with TV shows' attempts to redeem and soften up big shot villains in such a lame way.

That works in a mindless, cliched action film or series that no one above the age of 12 would call great, but in something like TWD, it has no place. It's why I was so worried last season about the Governor. Thank god they weren't faithful to the comics. This show needs characters, not mustache-twirling cartoons.

That was a nice episode. Good and believable character development.

I agree… it's about all kinds of people trying to find a way to cope with this bizarre situation. So one dimensional characters have no place here. Plus, the one dimensional characters that do show up, usually die pretty quickly… 😉

This.

Wait, I mean also it was a good episode. Guvnah needs development, because of what Lucien said.

The fair-weather fan who just a couple episodes ago was dumping all over the show and crying how terrible the season was. GTFO of my thread, Quanchi.
