Same here. It was a good episode, not a great one. I'm looking forward to the second half of the season, when

 

YES!

 

INDEED!!! Split

That some people have to resort to name-calling because they can't properly defend their position shows you the level of sophistication they operate in.

It really has nothing to do with the Governor getting his own episode. It's because the writing for the Governor and the episode itself wasn't very good. The episode did not tell us anything we did not already know. We already knew the Governor was capable of great love for children because we saw how attached he was to his own daughter, we also knew the Governor could be very protective of the ones he chose to be in a group with- he went out of his way to be nice to Andrea when he first met her, those feelings seemed genuine considering he didn't have to bring her into the group at all. So this label of "character development" is all smoke and mirrors- it was all a retread, there was nothing new to it at all. It was just a waste of time.

 

They will drop a bit. Last week's episode was not very good and it looks like the next one will be just more of the same.

 

The best decision AMC ever did was cutting the seasons in two.

 

it was the greatest hour of TV in our history.

 

Do not care about so called "fans" on facebook. Most of them don't know what they're talking about.
Do not believe those who say they will stop watching the show if Daryl or anyone else dies. They would still watch it.
Ratings will always go up and down, that's normal. The show's ratings are fantastic, better than ever. Premieres, mid-season finales and season finales have the best ratings.

 

I think that the Governor may be my favorite character on the show. I understand that he was a sadistic psychopath for most of season three, but I've always felt the most excited to watch what he'll do next on the show. I think that Rick and the prison group has gotten kind of boring and predictable. I actually don't think that the Governor will die this season.

 

Then why did you watch the first five episodes?

 

I usually puke on those facebook comments.

 

Bravo, sir.

You said a lot of the things I have been noticing on this forum since I joined.

I also feel slightly stalkerish that I went on a like-a-thon on your posts on this thread.

 

I kept hoping His Excellency would make an appearance. I'm also hoping The Governor levels that place ASAP to advance the story. If His Excellency does not succeed, I'll be driving my truck at a high rate of speed towards the prison set to finish what The Governor started!

 

I'd really like to know how many people Rick has killed vs. The Governor. I think you'll find the body count is about the same but Rick has been leading smaller groups so he's actually killed a much higher percentage of his own people. The Governor had to shoot what 8 or 9 members of the Woodbury militia but if you watch that scene every single one of them was holding a weapon. What the governor did wasn't 'evil' or even irrational in that situation because any one of them could've fired the first shot.

I'm also not sure how some people can say 'Live Bait' didn't tell us anything we didn't already know. Where did The Governor go and what was He doing? The Governor was the biggest threat (by far) to the prison group in season 3 it makes sense that they would show what He was doing at some point? The prison group is boring and predictable 'Live Bait' could not have come at a better time. Rick has the personality of a wet blanket and is a total killjoy..."you can't do that Carl"..."give me your gun Carl"..."I won't have you Carol"...etc... lol

 

Seriously, [MENTION=17892]Porfivor Nixon[/MENTION] makes a good point. We are talking about a tv show. One that has gone through quite a few changes as the seasons have developed (writers, directors, actors, etc), I might add. Viewers are of various ages and backgrounds and have their own tastes, likes, dislikes and viewpoints, etc. If someone doesn't like something you like, or sees it in a different way, it's really not anything personal against YOU (unless of course they make it personal), and there's really no need to start putting people down. I thought this was a place to share opinions and discuss the series, not show blind allegiance to it.

 

Great Post! You have got to stop making so much sense and being logical, because your gonna start a rumble around here..

 

Ha, thanks. It's nice to know its not just me, most people "dislike" my perspective on this issue
Let the stalking continue!
