Walking Dead Season 8 - Unmarked spoilers for aired eps in thread

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

Judging from last weeks previews I figured this would be a Governor centered episode. They've had a lot of character centered episodes this season. Last episode was mainly Hershel, before that was anyone who wasn't at the prison etc

If the previews for next week are any indication it will be another episode focused on the Governor. I don't really like going a few episodes without seeing the main group but I like the direction this episode took. They showed the human behind the monster and thoughts of his little girl made him care about a new little girl. It'll be interesting to see how he'll do under Martinez. I wonder how they split up in the first place. And what happened to the other guy that was with them?

[Elskidor]

Will they stay under Martinez though, or are they attempting to redeem him like they did Merle? Is that even possible for the Governor at his point? After last night's episode I was wondering if it was possible if the Governor may be returning to the prison for a different reason rather than ill intent, although probably not, and he would be pretty stupid to do so.

The next episode will have to be another Governor centric, and probably nothing on the prison team and it seems confirmed.. Andrew Lincoln (Rick Grimes) recently told Atlanta Magazine “My job is to serve my character in the scripts that I’m given. I just read two scripts, both of which I’m not in. And I think they’re the greatest episodes we’ve ever had.”

The episode that follows that one will be the mid season finale, so I guess the natural stopping place will have to be something big like a new big quarrel with Woodbury and the Prison again, or something that puts all the major characters together. I still think the prison is going bye bye and very soon.

That was my favourite episode of this season so far by a long shot. Finally some new direction! I imagine this is only a temporary tangent they're not planning to make a habit of, but I kind of wish they would. I'd love to see more arcs about other people away from the group - Carol, for example. Other surviving groups.

Like Pontus, this has been my favorite episode of season 4 and probably one of my favorite period. And I am (was?) an unabashed Governor hater from when he killed the military dudes in cold blood. I actually now find myself struggling to decide how I really feel about this man. He and Carol are a lot alike, I'm realizing, in their dedication to an idea or a group. Carol killed two people to protect her family, the Governor killed... a whole lot more to protect his town and his secret. And they both have found themselves in exile. But I miss Carol and I hate the Governor. ... But i might not hate Brian Heriot.

But they're both still wrong in what they did, because they allowed their humanity to take a backseat to what they love and obsess over. So. I don't know how to reconcile this inside my brain. AND HOLY CRAP DAVID MORRISSEY IS A GR8 ACTOR.

[Shlup]

Definitely my favorite episode of season four too. Made me feel like, if I were Brian Heriot, I might've turned into a bloodthirsty dictator too.

[Shaibana]

my recorder didnt record it correctly.. it started somwhere halfway so ive seen the last 30 minutes and after that the first 12 minutes on the internet..

this episode was way to tame compaired with last weeks episode. i expected some actin.. but none

norman reedus learning how to crossbow

[Rantz]

Lmao, that is so unsafe and hilarious.

[Elskidor]

Slightly different show, but watching the Norman and the crossbow reminded me of John Locke learning how to throw knifes by hitting a dollar.

FOA'S INTERNAL CONFLICT IS NOW OVER, THE GOVERNOR STILL BATtrout CRAZY AQUARIUM ENTHUSIAST.

[Flying Mullet]

I don't think The Governor has called the little girl by her real name yet. I'm waiting for him to call her by his daughter's name just to add to his crazies.

[Shiny]

I don't see how anyone could have believed that he changed. Once you have gone so far in to the deep end as he has there is no coming back especially not during a zombie apocalypse. Also omfg a tank.

[Slothy]

I almost feel bad for him because he clearly didn't want to be in charge and go to that place again, but feels like he was cornered into it. But then he keeps on being the Governor and all sympathy goes out the window.
