94. What can the governor do now?

Mon Apr 1, 2013, 01:27 AM

Apr 2013

No townsfolk, no town, no weapons, no army, no mad scientist, and criminally insane but without the survival skills of someone like Merle. The worst I can see him doing is sniping at one of the prison characters in the first few episodes of season 4.

If I was Shupert or Martinez I'd off him right away, and make up a convincing excuse to get back into the good graces of Woodbury's remaining folk.

That's it... I'm definitely taking The Governor off my holiday card list. krispos42 Mar 2013 #18

I bet now he had let Andrea kill him when she had the chance. texanwitch Mar 2013 #14

Was that my imagination, or did Andrea manage to loosen up the ropes that held her feet down? Baitball Blogger Mar 2013 #16

I didn't see that. texanwitch Mar 2013 #19

About to go into the door. texanwitch Mar 2013 #20

They fled the prison... a good idea krispos42 Mar 2013 #22

oops, not quite NewJeffCT Mar 2013 #24

Good question. krispos42 Mar 2013 #28

They can always come back. texanwitch Mar 2013 #26

Oh Shit! We've lost Carl. Baitball Blogger Mar 2013 #23

ouch - that was cold NewJeffCT Mar 2013 #25

Carl did what he had to do. texanwitch Mar 2013 #27

I agree that the kid should have dropped the gun. Baitball Blogger Mar 2013 #29

The other kid was a lot bigger and stronger. texanwitch Mar 2013 #32

I think the guy was pulling something krispos42 Mar 2013 #37

I think he saw an old man and a kid and thought there was no threat. Recovered Repug Mar 2013 #67

The Governor tapped that kid in the prison hallway, and sent him ahead WilliamPitt Mar 2013 #71

He didn't seem particularly worried about being held at gunpoint. krispos42 Mar 2013 #74

Yep. texanwitch Mar 2013 #78

I think Carl did good - dicey situation could have gone either way Baclava Apr 2013 #131

I would have taken a step back and repeated my demand. krispos42 Apr 2013 #134

I could be wrong, but I thought they already asked him to drop it like 3 or 4 times Baclava Apr 2013 #136

IIRC krispos42 Apr 2013 #137

Anyone see the parallel between the governor and Carl? Baitball Blogger Mar 2013 #33

The show is going 5 extra minutes NewJeffCT Mar 2013 #38

Carl was shaking there. texanwitch Mar 2013 #40

Spot on. Very clear parallel made between Governor's thinking DebJ Apr 2013 #114

maybe Shane is Carl's biological father too. Joe Shlabotnik Apr 2013 #125

Too many commercials! Baitball Blogger Mar 2013 #36

Yes. texanwitch Mar 2013 #41

Good for Carl. texanwitch Mar 2013 #42

He's a man now. Baitball Blogger Mar 2013 #44

He didn't shoot the kid right away. texanwitch Mar 2013 #77

Carl: "You didn't kill Andrew, and he killed mom." Help? WilliamPitt Mar 2013 #43

Andrew was the prisoner that got away and brought all the Baitball Blogger Mar 2013 #46

Gotcha WilliamPitt Mar 2013 #56

Right. He ran into a little courtyard with few walkers in there... krispos42 Mar 2013 #69

Andrew was the guy that let the walkers back into the prison. texanwitch Mar 2013 #48

Oh, OK, I see. WilliamPitt Mar 2013 #50

Ah, that's right... thanks n/t krispos42 Mar 2013 #55

Ramirez will kill the gov. MattBaggins Mar 2013 #47

Or he'll help someone who will. Baitball Blogger Mar 2013 #51

Could be. texanwitch Mar 2013 #52

Andrea. MissB Mar 2013 #53

Or maybe not. MissB Mar 2013 #58

What is behind the door now. texanwitch Mar 2013 #60

too many damn commercials charlie and algernon Mar 2013 #57

A bet those commericals are expensive. texanwitch Mar 2013 #63

Oh man WilliamPitt Mar 2013 #59

She knows how the safety works. MissB Mar 2013 #62

Andrea is going to do a Merle exit. Baitball Blogger Mar 2013 #61

Goodbye Andrea. texanwitch Mar 2013 #64

Karen was smart. texanwitch Mar 2013 #65

So the Governor lives and Andrea dies. Baitball Blogger Mar 2013 #66

She paid the price. texanwitch Mar 2013 #68

sad ending for her NewJeffCT Mar 2013 #72

Okay, food for thought. Baitball Blogger Apr 2013 #108

Artistic note... krispos42 Mar 2013 #70

That's right! Iris Mar 2013 #73

Your membername is appropriate krispos42 Mar 2013 #75

haha! I didn't even think of that! Iris Mar 2013 #76

Milton played that that scene really well MattBaggins Mar 2013 #79

I think he sees the older folks weighed down by per-apocolypse morality krispos42 Mar 2013 #80

Also the Gov is still alive. texanwitch Mar 2013 #81

The Governor pulled a Jonestown on that road. rug Mar 2013 #82

He was pissed off. texanwitch Mar 2013 #83

Merle's death run made a huge difference exboyfil Apr 2013 #98

WHY THE PRISON AND NOT WOODBURY exboyfil Apr 2013 #99

The logic behind htis "virus" is impossible to explain but IMO eating fish and game should be fine dr.strangelove Apr 2013 #103

I think the game is pretty much gone exboyfil Apr 2013 #120

The older people will plant and maintain crops. Baitball Blogger Apr 2013 #109

I would think the first task NewJeffCT Apr 2013 #112

We still don't know where they're coming from, do we? Baitball Blogger Apr 2013 #113

I'm sure at least some NewJeffCT Apr 2013 #123

I asked the same question. Maybe because they feel safer in the DebJ Apr 2013 #115

That's what I thought too... LeftOfSelf-Centered Apr 2013 #116

Interesting ending NewJeffCT Mar 2013 #84

Fewer people died than I thought might die. Solly Mack Mar 2013 #85

Am I the only one here who felt Hayabusa Apr 2013 #86

I was expecting a bigger fire fight. texanwitch Apr 2013 #88

gotta mull it over a bit more, Joe Shlabotnik Apr 2013 #90

I certainly have to say Hayabusa Apr 2013 #92

About the prison group being so trusting: DebJ Apr 2013 #117

Not looking at anything yet -- we're just 7 mins into the finale in Tucson.. MiddleFingerMom Apr 2013 #87

What can the governor do now? Joe Shlabotnik Apr 2013 #94

One of them should have killed him as he was massacring the "army". MrSlayer Apr 2013 #96

Now that Team Prison NewJeffCT Apr 2013 #101

Allen had a chance. texanwitch Apr 2013 #119

If you watch it again, the Gov was single shooting. MrSlayer Apr 2013 #139

I was hoping a walker would have got Allen when he opened the door. texanwitch Apr 2013 #140

Yeah, must agree that TM99 Apr 2013 #97

the people left behind in Woodbury NewJeffCT Apr 2013 #100

Yeah, very good point. TM99 Apr 2013 #102

they left us with kind of a meh ending, all the build-up, for this? Baclava Apr 2013 #104

I figured they would pick up a few extras NewJeffCT Apr 2013 #105

I said the same thing - hot showers, comfy beds and food in the town...why not just take it over? Baclava Apr 2013 #106

If they follow at least some of the comics storyline NewJeffCT Apr 2013 #107

I wonder if Carl has to face the kin or friends of the boy he killed? Baitball Blogger Apr 2013 #111

Absolutely exboyfil Apr 2013 #122

Feral pigs probably the best chance exboyfil Apr 2013 #124

The governor knows all the weak points in Woodbury. Baitball Blogger Apr 2013 #110

And we saw how easy Rick's group and Michonne snuck into the town earlier in the season charlie and algernon Apr 2013 #118

I was thinking of locking them in as well exboyfil Apr 2013 #121

Except the Governor gutted his own army. krispos42 Apr 2013 #126

I think you whittled the numbers down well. Baitball Blogger Apr 2013 #127

I've heard that. krispos42 Apr 2013 #128

27 total. Baitball Blogger Apr 2013 #129

Some math NewJeffCT Apr 2013 #130

And when Merle chased Michonne... krispos42 Apr 2013 #132

Got it NewJeffCT Apr 2013 #133

:-) n/t krispos42 Apr 2013 #135

Can't argue with the losses, but you didn't mention the addition of Tyrese's group. Recovered Repug Apr 2013 #143

After the massacre, I thought he drove of with only two of his men. Incitatus Apr 2013 #146

The kid in the woods ran away, so maybe more got away also. texanwitch Apr 2013 #147

I remember there were two men with him in the pickup truck. krispos42 Apr 2013 #149

They left in one truck. texanwitch Apr 2013 #150

The Gov left behind the 50 cal in the prison yard. texanwitch Apr 2013 #138

good point NewJeffCT Apr 2013 #141

I am sure the writers will make some ammunition appear in the 4th season. texanwitch Apr 2013 #142

True NewJeffCT Apr 2013 #144

It is also on wheels. texanwitch Apr 2013 #145

Will the Gov become more or less crazy now that he has lost his town. texanwitch Apr 2013 #148

It was an awesome end to a great season. nt ZombieHorde Apr 2013 #151
