I agree. He was genuinely begging her to let Penny go. He even took off his gun belt.

There is another thread that mentions that Michonne may have went a little too far in this scene based on what he actually did to her (which was not much).

 

She did go way too far. I felt sorry for the Governor too. I think it is my thread that Janga means. Michonne needs to disappear!

 

His being upset and begging to spare her did seem real and was a powerful scene but I still think Michonne did the right thing. Penny was already dead. It seemed like the first time Michonne had any kind of emotion on her face. That killing seemed to be as much about doing the right thing as it was about revenge. You just don't keep a dead little girl chained in a cage under the stairs.

ETA: If she would have used Penny before killing her to mentally torture the Governor to see him suffer, that would have been going to far.

 

Hell naw! She DID NOT go too far. Matter fact she didn't go far enough, IMO!! If someone sent out some goons to hunt down and kill me, You better believe that I'm going to kill you before you kill me!! If I were her I would killed the Guv', Merle, Penny, the heads in the aquariums, and whoever else opposed me. When someone wants you dead, SHOW NO MERCY!!!

 

I also agree she went a little too far. But only because I don't feel like they built up that aspect of the story enough. Yeah, ok - he sent out Merle and gang to kill her but she did have her katana up in his face a couple of episodes before...

 

One thing I have to say... David Morrisey was fantastic in that scene! I actually felt bad for the Governor character... which I never thought I would.

 

If Penny was not a "biter" then yeah, but c'mon. Those that are mad at what Michonne did should be equally mad at Rick bcuz he blew away lil' Sophia in season 2, right in front of Carol. You guys/gals are SOFT!!!

 

If it was real and it was your daughter would you feel the same?

 

IMO she didn't go too far from everything what Gov had done... In some moment I felt sorry for him and I know it's very tough to lose someone from your family, but she was already gone. He was doing the same thing with music as Milton with the patient and it didn't worked... Maybe he still had a hope...

 

Not really. They both did it for different reasons. Rick didn't do it to hurt someone. Michonne damn well did. For her it was about the upper hand and cheap kicks.

 

I'm sure if Carol was pleading with Rick not to shoot Sofia he would have left it - at least a little bit - to say goodbye - he wouldn't have just stabbed her through the head and shrugged his shoulders.

 

If someone has YOUR bladed weapon pacing behind you slowly, you wouldn't be a lil' nervous?? Especially since she had been trying to get her katana back for days and trying to leave Woodbury, but they won't let her?? Are yall crazy??

 

I think that they gave Michonne too much lee way in the show. The Governor was horrid to her in the comics, so any of us who have read them are probably disagreeing. The Michonne/Governor thing was a FAR cry from the comics in the show. As far as the show goes, she will more than likely be justified in her actions later on down the road. As of right now, I am cool with it. I think she has "zero tolerance for walkers" that are kept alive. They are a huge danger. Remember when she obliterated them in the arena? Yeah.....

 

Michonne loves killing walkers, regardless of anyone else's feelings. Whether that's to far is definitely a matter of opinion, but the scene did make the Governor look more sympathetic given that he could have easily just shot Michonne but instead tried to reason with her. There is a similar situation in the comics when

In that case, I'd say its the parent's responsibility, but if they can't live with it then why blame them? It's not suppose to be an easy choice.

 

Yes! Too bad she didn't get to kill his arse lol.
That wasn't his daughter anyway, and there will never be a cure for something like that, if a person doesn't get oxygen for over 4 minutes irreversible brain damage occurs, can you imagine what her brain is like?
There is only hope for a cure for the living.

Penny was dead long before Michonne ''killed'' her.

 

HE TRIED TO HAVE HER KILLED!! KILLED!! The Governor does not give a damn about Michonne, so why would she have compassion for him and his biter daughter(NOT HUMAN). WHY ARE YALL NOT GETTING THIS?? THE GLOVES ARE OFF!!!

 

If it was real and I had a daughter I would not keep her like that.

I would have to be mentally deranged to do such a thing. If I was mentally deranged then what Michonne did might push me off the brink and into the dark abyss of insanity.

 

Thinking back - I would probably say - instead of 'going too far' ... it was little 'too dramatic'.

I feel exactly the same about how Rick has been treating Michonne - first he squeezes her shot leg because she's 'not talking' - I mean he hardly gave her a fricking chance.

And then we she gets back from her one on one with the Gov - all covered in blood he's quick to judge her for leaving and being all snooty... if it wasn't for Michonne they wouldn't have bloody known where the hell Maggie and Glenn were in the first place - he needs to lighten up in my eyes.
