The Governor talking to Clem on that Walkie-Talkie [SPOILER!]

edited September 2012 in The Walking Dead
Let's add this to the conspiracy theory pot. The Governor talks to Clem. He's the only "canon" bad guy in the walking dead series. TTG did say we'd meet some characters from the comics, TV series, and original characters they made.
That's the only other bad guy who would be any sorta trouble ... Perhaps it is even the bandits still. And yeah, I know it has nothing to do with Rick Grimes and his group, but why not debate? LOL
Also.. doesn't the governor die in the comics?

Perhaps it isn't him.

    The governor dying wouldn't interfere with him being the bad guy, because
    the person who kills him literally just left/got kicked out of the group

    That being said, I doubt it is him.

    The GOV? ahhh no if you read the comics 4 months into that i belive that group is either in the jail or about to have the battle with the governor(who remember has a community under his control)

    This group is in the same 4 months time frame and heading towards Savannah

    Well it is really hard to find a second walkie-talkie, which has same frequency as Clem's walkie. So I think that that person should be someone, who met Glenn in the comics at some point because he had the walkie-talkie. Someone from the Woodberry is a possibility, but not Governor because he cannot leave his town. However if my memory remembers it correctly, rick's group met governor much later, so this option is down.

    Your lack of knowledge in how walkie-talkies work is mind blowing. All you have to do is turn a little dial on the top and you are transmitting on a different frequency. Now most older walkies cannot pick up other types of radios such as CB's (as seen in the show when Rick uses an older model to try and talk to the guy who saves him in the beginning) but anything made after about 1996 would pick up anything on the airwaves so long as it is within range and you turn to its frequency. Anything two way, as in locked into another device wouldn't be classified as a walkie-talkie but a two way radio, a child might confuse this but I doubt that the game developers would.

    Glenn is cannon from the comic to have the walkie at this time because he uses it to save Rick when he gets trapped in the tank.

    The earliest Clem could have started talking to this guy would have been when they got on the train, and that's assuming that it was in range, more likely she's only been talking to him for several hours to a day, more than long enough for a child to start trusting him if she thinks he has information she wants. After all Clem trusts Lee from within a few minutes when really she should not have.

    It cannot be a bandit because they would have had to followed them from the hotel, then past the group and gotten to Savannah, and that's just a silly idea, what's the point now of keeping up such a ruse? It might have made sense if they had used Clem against the group while they were at the hotel but now it's pointless, the bandits have run their course in the story; just except it.

    just except it.
    It's difficult to take your insults seriously when you use the wrong word. I am almost certain you meant "accept".

    Accept - to take or receive (something offered); receive with approval or favor: to accept a present; to accept a proposal.

    Except - Not including; other than.

    I doubt you mean "Just not include it."

    I'm having a bit of trouble lining up the game timeline and the comic timeline. My understanding is that in the comics Rick wakes up a month into the zombie outbreak, and no more than a month later it's Christmas, which puts the start sometime in November, or possibly late October. In the game, Lee crashes around the start of the outbreak, then the timeline skips three months - which would make it sometime around the end of January - however, the crops at the St. Johns' farm and the talk of approaching winter make it seem like it's still autumn. Did I make a mistake somewhere, or is this a disagreement between the game and the comics?

    Telltale will likely not risk drawing on yet another comic character Kirkman could declare non-canon afterwards. Lilly was enough, we don't need the Governor also.

    I don’t believe also that TT would use the Governor at this one, but nothing stop them to use him as a model somehow (even that I prefer that they try to do something more original).

    And I also need to play again and pay attention to this, but wasn’t Clem talking at her walkie-talkie when Lee got at the Motel after scavenging the pharmacy?

    Not the governor, watch the video.

    I wouldn't rule it out, The events in the game would be before the govenor
    got shot by Lilly
    In the comics they were
    at the prison for many months before the govenor started his assault

    Darn you second to the last word in my over 200 word post that only applied to the last and smallest paragraph! lol

    Truth is it is disturbing that so many people don't know how walkie-talkies work. Yeah the first sentence was a little rude and after typing it out in the heat of the moment I realized that, but I'm not going to change it because to me that's even more insulting, like treating everyone as if they are really stupid, like they wouldn't remember what I had said originally or I'm pretending as if I didn't say it. I'm an adult and I'm not going to hide my mistake by editing it away, I'll own it and talk it out. However, having said that, outside of my first sentence, I was trying to be constructive and informative, I can come off as a bit abrasive and I am sorry. If you knew me you'd know my heart is in the right place, I just wanted to help out.

    They've already admitted that they couldn't get The Governor in the game, and they are trying to rely less on canon characters from the actual season as this season wears on. I'd be surprised if we saw much more (barring a small return of Lilly if they really wanted to although I don't think that's coming either.)
  • edited September 2012
    No kidding, my first thought when I heard the radio was "Is that the Governor?" followed instantly by "Lilly, what did you do?!"

    I knew I was wrong a few seconds later though. Instinctual reactions and accusations not based in fact and whatnot.
  • edited September 2012
    Ridiculous thread. The devs and Kirkman have already stated openly that it is not the same story as Rick Grimes, et. al. The Governor will almost certainly not be a character in this game.

    ... the Governor is not the only bad guy. You must really read the comics. They are full of bad guys. The one that appeared in #100 may be worse than the Governor.

    There is no way that it is going to be the Governor. Besides, TT would be pushing it if it is. From what I could tell from the comics, the Governor seemed like a pedo to me.

    I don't know if you guys watched the video ShadowFlux posted, but it's stated in the interview that the governor will not make an appearance in the series. Jake said they tried to find a scenario where they could work him in, but couldn't without sacrificing the integrity of the canon between the game and comic. It was considered off limits.

    Here's the video again, credit goes to ShadowFlux for posting it. You can find the information at minute 7; http://www.thegameraccess.com/interviews/multiplatform/the-walking-dead-invades-the-pax-prime-madness-interview-pax-prime-2012

    Well I would think its the same time frame when Lee and the cop crash the cop car they just leaveing downtown Atlanta. Rick is in a smaller town of Georgia. But in a coma maybe a day or two before that same accident happens with Lee.

    Now when Glenn leaves our video game group the time frame has to be day 3 or 4 of the zombie apoc. So when Rick wakes up he comes across Glenn on the what 2nd month of the zombie apoc?

    She was cosplaying as Catherine from Catherine. I would be nervous too in that situation.

    In Ep 2 and 3 of the game we get the impression it's late autumn - orange leaves, crops ready to harvest, talk of winter around the corner. Around the end of the first set of comics/tv series, there are bare trees and snow, and at the start of the second set, Dale mentions that it's Christmas, so everything in the game so far, including the three month skip, would have been before the end of the first set of comics.

    There's an exchange between Rick and Glenn in the comic where Glenn asks "Where have you been for the past month?", which makes me think that the dead started rising a month before Rick made it to Atlanta.

    To line up the timelines the events with Rick in the camp would have to take place over two months, and I don't see them being that slow.
