[QUOTE="Ahnehnois, post: 6221242, member: 17106"] I thought this episode whiffed big time. I never liked the Governor. I didn't want to see them try to make him sympathetic; it's way too late for that. If they had just moved on and left him as a source of dread in the background, I would have been fine with that. If they had brought him back as a monolithic warmonger with no explanation, I would have been fine with that. I didn't tune in to TWD to watch the Governor find his humanity for an hour. I'm also on board with not liking the portrayal of the family. They somehow survived for a year while being too afraid to go around the block and raid the old folks' home and outrun some geriatric walkers? No matter how many explanations they threw in, I just have a hard time believing that anyone who's still alive at this point is as inept as this crew was. And it was striking that they were all female, though TWD doesn't lack for assertive and competent female characters in general. I also didn't like how wishy-washy they were. It seems like they vacillate between (rightful) distrust of him and (desperate) trust of him. Every time he lies or does something violent, they briefly react, then rationalize it and return to normal. Also, they introduced a new method of avoiding walkers. Just turn slightly as one is about to pounce on you, and it'll fall to the ground and wallow around harmlessly. A foolproof life hack for surviving the zombie apocalypse. Slight turns. I suppose one of the reasons TWD stays on air despite uneven writing is that it always [I]looks[/I] so damn good. [/QUOTE]
