He's too wimpy to kill.

 

I have Milton on the unofficial betting line. I agree that he has just as good of a chance as many of the contenders!

 

I say he's too rational to try something like that. If Milton does become a swing character in the next episode and wants the Governor dead, he'll probably use a borrowed knife by virtue of deception.

Failing which, his tea.

 

I agree. Another key point is that in the ZA people are going to tend to flock to a strong leader. The Governor has kept them safe for about one year now so initially there is going to be loyalty there.

The key moment for Milton I feel is when he got to meet Hershel and Daryl. He realized that the "other side" isn't all that bad. So now he's beginning to question the Governor more. He's wondering why people from either side need to die. It seems unnecessaary. I'm sure Milton will play a key role in the Governor's downfall.

 

Yes, I'm thinking Milton may do it. He is one of the least likely and this show just keeps throwing us curve balls

 

Milton may also make it to season # 4. Maybe he can help construct some sort of artificial leg for Hershel if he survives too.

 

Milton comes across as the politically neutral type. He's more interested in scientific pursuits than righting the wrongdoings committed by human beings in ZA for "greater good". Milton is curious about the epidemic and I believe he's inherently virtuous but destroying the Governor seems out-of-character. It's too dramatic. Tyreese and Andrea might, but not someone like Milton.

 

Agreed. After watching "Prey", I hope the honor of taking the Governor goes to Andrea. She's made two attempts already, third time's the charm. She has to be the one or it wouldn't look good on her CV for the next season haha...

I don't think it was Milton who torched the walkers though he's certainly involved in some ways. As for his line to the Governor "I hope you find out who did it", I understood it as his way of drawing attention away from the actual culprit and unto himself. There are two liars in this episode, Tyreese and Milton. I'd like to think that when backed into a corner, Milton does know how to handle the Governor like he once told Andrea. It may be a long shot but I see him working with Tyreese on this one.

About the Governor being bit, would be interesting seeing what Milton does. Nice catch.

 

-Most likely to kill him-
Andrea
Rick
Milton
-Least likely to kill him-

Either way, I think it'll be one of those three who ends it.

 

Regarding Milton burning the pits, there's a spoiler thread that may interest you: link.

I think there are two popular variants to Milton's conversation with the Governor end scene: (1) really bad liar, (2) a civil gesture to the Governor that he's not afraid to go against him. I guess we'll see.

 

Whether he was bit or not, the Governor is becoming increasingly out of touch with reality and like many despots he will, as you said....take everyone with him. His current state of mind reminds me of the scene in the Dark Knight where Alfred says, "Some men just want to watch the world burn."

 

Yeah, I'm doing my best to avoid the spoilers too. It doesn't have the same impact when you know what's coming. I had that happen with another show I watched, someone told me a big spoiler and it ruined the final episodes for me.

As for the Governor, it's hard to guess how he goes down. Some now think he might've been bitten and/or scratched during his walker encounter. The one thing about the show in its first 3 seasons is that you can't really predict the course they're going to take. I thought Lori would die in Season 3, but I didn't expect it so soon.

 

i agree 100%, have a likey lol
