Walking Dead Season 4 Episode 6 review

This episode was one that I and many others were waiting for.  This episode was a Governor focused episode which is something that was not seen a lot.  As always there are going to be spoilers in this so be warned.

Aftermath of Season 3

The episode began with the aftermath of the Governor killing off the citizens of Woodbury.  This event seemed to have broken him along with many other things.  When he was sitting at the fire watching the walker come towards him was a means for escape from what he had done.  If the walker had not been stopped it would have killed him and in his mind set him free.  The next morning he is abandoned and left on his own.  He becomes a shell of himself and in many respects starts to take on the characteristics of the walkers.  He shambles through areas and down roads with a dead look in his eyes.  When all seemed lost he was delivered salvation in the form of a little girl.

Governor's new group

I was kind of hesitant to watch the Governor join his new little group.  I thought many times that there was going to be a betrayal and he would kill them.  But over time nothing happened and it seemed like he had maybe gone good or somewhat good.  He kept helping the family do whatever they needed him to do.  The old Governor would have not done that in fact he would have killed them on sight.  I think what anchors him to the group is the little girl. He feels some responsibility for protecting her to make up for failing his daughter.  It then looked that he may take the girl and kill the others but that did not happen as well.  Every time he had a chance to betray he did nothing.  He now has a love interest which is surprising.  None of his past affairs have worked out well so it will be interesting to see where this goes.  It will be even more interesting to see how he handles himself now that he ran back into some of the people from Woodbury.
