By chance I happened to stumble on the comic version of The Governor, with his eye patch securely in place; to say that he looks "unhinged" would be an understatement the size of California. It's also worth noting that the blurb on his wiki page says something to the effect of "he is obsessed with power and control, and will stop at nothing to keep it."<br /><br /><br />So yeah, way to be Michonne. You've done some real good for the world.Voltech44noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904713839696769313.post-65315293098980443552012-12-13T08:57:46.505-08:002012-12-13T08:57:46.505-08:00I too find the Governor a very fascinating charact...I too find the Governor a very fascinating character. He's not really a bad guy, just someone who's lost a few of his marbles from the get-go (and the rest along with his daughter and eye). I mean, yeah he's done a bunch of bad stuff, and the fact that he kept his zombie daughter on a leash is worrisome. Normally I'd just call him totally batshit insane, but considering that scientist is actually closing in on a cure I'm more hesitant to call the Governor out on keeping her around. And when he was pleading for her life, I really felt it.<br /><br />But nope, now everything's going to hell. Glad to see some real antagonizing from an organized group of people instead of stragglers and zombies for a change. I've been keeping up with the show more regularly this semester (as it and Adventure Time are the only things on TV right now I feel like watching), so I can't wait to get back into it February!Sir Quafflernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904713839696769313.post-14745858688162037362012-12-06T08:31:41.053-08:002012-12-06T08:31:41.053-08:00As much as I hate to admit it, you're probably...As much as I hate to admit it, you're probably taking the best course of action. I've got a pretty good memory, but it is a STRUGGLE to remember anything distinct about Season 2. Well, no, that's not entirely true; to be fair, there are a few brushes with zombies, and at least two major characters die. But for the life of me I couldn't tell you what they were arguing about besides, "Gee, this sure is a hopeless situation, isn't it?" And as others have noted,, they can be pretty stupid at times.<br /><br /><br />The show still has its problems -- Michonne at this moment is problematic, to say the least -- but yes, The Governor makes this show several times better. Hopefully the writers will do something meaningful with him...or barring that, resurrect T-Dog.Voltech44noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904713839696769313.post-44947986358384000842012-12-06T07:18:44.788-08:002012-12-06T07:18:44.788-08:00Yo.

After reading t...Yo. ZeLoz from PotionShop1e here.<br /><br />After reading this and your previous post on TWD, I think I wanna look more into this show. I've had my reservations about it, mostly because of how it sounds like, as one internet meme put it, "People Arguing (and sometimes zombies appear)." But pitting the main characters against an antagonistic force that isn't their own stupidity (or the occasional zombies) is something I'd like to see. In any case, it makes it seem like the show is becoming more about survival and less about arguing.<br /><br /><br />Spoilers be darned, I'll probably just wiki the events up to wherever TWD is now. Given your views on the second season, it'd probably be for the best if I just spared myself the monotony and just read summaries.Sirrah Yllibhttp://www.facebook.com/sirrah.yllibnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904713839696769313.post-91940137685307471482012-12-05T17:14:43.183-08:002012-12-05T17:14:43.183-08:00Heh heh, well, I tried to warn you...besides, I fe...Heh heh, well, I tried to warn you...besides, I feel like I can't exactly make a strong argument UNLESS I go into spoiler territory. It certainly doesn't help that I have a pretty lax spoiler policy.

Outside of his final moments, I can't peg a single outstanding act to his improbably-stereotypical name. It's also worth noting that <br /><br /><br />(spoilers)<br />in the same episode where he calls Rick out for his actions and vocally disagrees with the direction the Ricktator is leading the group, he ends up bitten by zombies and forced to sacrifice himself. Not exactly a flattering way to go.<br />(end spoilers)<br /><br /><br />And Daryl is actually a pretty cool character. If my brother's preferences are any indication, it's because he wears a poncho. I'd argue it's more because he has a crossbow, though. And the motorcycle certainly helps.Voltech44noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904713839696769313.post-21121092143690266082012-12-04T19:11:42.374-08:002012-12-04T19:11:42.374-08:00Ahh!

SO- though I have watched the first TWO seasons, i have not watched season 3 up to the midpoint. <br />One of my best friends is watching it, and always tries to tell me what is going on... (she is for some reason madly in love with Darryl...*rolls eyes*)<br />anyways. I LOVE TWD... its not the BEST show ever, but a really great one! And now... Well, I just read the last line of your post and realize that T-Dogg dies. How very sad. <br />He wasnt my favorite character though... <br />Oh well.<br />Man... I need to get cable!Theresa Joneshttp://twitter.com/MrsTheresaJonesnoreply@blogger.com
