  • Well, i suppose you're kind of right, everyone have been acting differently after a close persons death. Rick went insane and Tyreese got suicidal, i guess it goes hand in hand. But it was the way he didn't listen to anyone, completely played his own game and got himself and others in dangerous situations that didn't have to be dangerous from the start. And i did get some hope after episode 9, was it? When he actually managed to take care of 3 children quite well and seemed to have a more optimistic point of view. I wonder if he will eventually forgive Carol when he finds out or if he'll flip shit.

    Yeah, Daryl and T-dog did fill those roles, what i meant was just that he was always a cool guy to have in the group, and season 3-4 for me killed it. I maybe had too high hopes for the introducing of Tyreese and was probably too hard on him, but he needs to put aside those extreme down feelings eventually. Which seems to be happening now.

    Also Merle was one of my favourite characters but you can't ask for something more in the TWD world than your favourite character to go out like a true boss, of which he did. Also i think you need to see things more from The Governors perspective, sure he was a sociopath that killed plenty of people, but at several points he actually had a reason to. He had a different point of view on survival, and did everything to protect his loved ones. However when everything goes to shit he makes irrational decisions. Season 3 finale, anyone?

    Tyreese: Tyreese was Rick's bro from early days and stood by his side and helped him out with decisions. He was reasonable and honest. Tyreese

    Yeah, man I agree with every you said actually. I will say that that episode with Carl and Rick gave me a bit of hope for his character, I

  • That does actually make sense, but i still feel that starting war would be just as easy with beheading Michonne as Hershel, or hell go for both. But the ironic thing is just that the entire group COMPLETELY forgets about her and she ends up killing him. It's silly. Admit it.

    Except the Governor flat out told Michonne that he no longer bore any grudges against her. There's no reason to think he was lying. Considerin

  • I have a feeling they will, I hope Im wrong though because if he is anything like The Abraham from the comics he will be a complete success !

  • He was disconnected for cheating and hacking life itself, that makes sense.

    Well, now we know that Hershel didn't die.... He was banned from the server.

  • Shane, Hershel, and the Governor were so much better in the TV series.

  • Watching the latest episode right now, looks good so far.

  • Yeah, no. I will not admit to what can easily be defended. I won't deny that the same result would be accomplished by killing Michonne and that it would have made sense given their history, sure. But that has no bearing on the fact that he likely chose Hershel for the exact same reasons and that Hershel was the one who made an appeal to the Governor's better nature. In essence, the Governor was also making a point to himself. Of course, that's all speculation on my part, no problem admitting that. It could very well have been that Hershel was just closer, so he chose to kill him. :P

    There was no time to go for both, either. The firing begins right after Hershel goes down and the Governor gets shot in the arm right after, forcing him to retreat momentarily. By the time he gets back onto the scene, Michonne's already taken off and hidden behind some of the trucks. There's not much of a reason for the group to really care about her getting away. Their attention is fully on the firing prison group, and Michonne is tied up and unarmed. The fact that she's an expert survivor who could cut her bonds is not common knowledge to the Governor's group.

  • I will stand down on the choice of killing Hershel because you make several valid points but the fact that the entire group COMPLETELY forgets about their lethal hostage is not something that happens. It's either stupidity or TV that got this one.
