It is easy to redeem a character that has done some bad but acceptible things. Even merle, who was pretty awful, they probably could have redeemed in an episode or two (though i think the way they handled his arch was more interesting than just having him become a nice guy). The governor had heads in fish tanks! He killed people with a smile! He has moved from doing what was required to survive to enjoying it, so by pretty much any measure, he was evil. The final act of killing his own people seemed to seal the deal. That is why it why i like them exploring whether he can be redeemed. If i was writing it, i know what my answer would be, but I am curion how the writers will answer it, and i am keeping an open mind even if their answer conflicts with my own. What I am liking about the show is they are asking questions and making decisions that get poeple talking about this stuff. That is much riskier than just telling us what we want to hear and what feels good. By and large, people either wanted the governor's head on a plate, or they wanted him to go nuts wiping out the prison. They gave us something else that i think is way more interesting.</p></blockquote><p></p>
