Exactly. And I've set up a total spoilers thread, yet it doesn't get any use anyway, so the saga continues.

Maybe I missed it, but what was the logic behind going after Michonne? She had left the town and wasn't gonna be coming back. Why did they want to take her out?

I think we'll find that no one is ever allowed to leave, and anyone who knows they exist is murdered. Unless the Gov wants them.

In that case we should call Woodbury the Hotel California. Sorry that was the worst joke.

Don't worry folks, that is NOT a comic spoiler.

Hopefully it's not a spoiler for the Eagles album I am about to listen to.

It made little sense to me either, but I guess we'll find out the Governor is a psychotic dictator, like if Shane suddenly became Liam Neeson.

Ya i'm guessing she was allowed to leave just so Andrea could see it and then Governor sent Merle and the boys out to find and kill her

I hear its a good deal now if he bundles cable, internet, and phone. Rick better jump on that deal before its gone.

My wife said, "Maybe she's just attracted to power." And I said, "Maybe she's just stupid and annoying and has only one look (head tilted with terrible half-smile)", and then she said, "You're just mad because I figured it out."

I swear, whatever death befalls Andrea can't come soon enough.

Fantastic casting if true. I think many of the problems that the show has had can be attributed in large part to poor casting choices. Especially with the female characters.

For example.............

Anyone the Governor can't control is a threat, at least as far as he's concerned.

And look how he treats folks from other settlements. He interrogates them to find out where they are located so he can kill them and take their stuff. He doesn't want anyone doing that to him, so anyone who wants to leave Woodbury permanently is killed.

I believe you are saying, that
Spoiler:
our entire crew will wind up at Woodbury.
This is clearly a spoiler if true (I won't return to this thread to find out.)

People always think they're cleverer than they are when discussing something that they have inner knowledge of--it's peppered through these threads.

Thanks. I guess that makes the most sense. It threw me off when the episode started with Merle and the Gov's goons chasing Michonne in the forest. I was wondering what started that whole thing.

I always thought that Andrea was a very uptight bitch who needed to get laid badly. Now, she's gotten the most action among the entire group. Banging Shane last season and now the Gov.

Well, she was also able to be completely invisible in broad daylight up a tree at a safe jumping height with relatively little foliage to hide behind. I mean, she had to be at least 4, maybe 5 feet above their eye line and they had no idea she was there even though they were specifically looking for her.

She had gotten shot in the leg, and was behind them. If she'd called out, she would have only distracted Glen and Maggie and allowed hillbilly Joe to get the drop on them that much quicker.

She could've never made it to them in time to help.

During that scene I was actually wondering if her calling out to them would be what got one of them shot. Should've known it would just be Glen being a complete pussy, as usual.

Yeah, it's almost as if she's not a real samurai with decades of training, but just some American chick who picked up a sword somewheres.

And one who has almost all of her experience against uncoordinated, unarmed, brain dead, half rotted corpses whose only tactic is stumbling straight towards you.

Yeah, she used her mad American chick Kung Fu hustle skills to disarm the Governor last episode.

That is point there, I have no training with a sword and I am sure I could take a few out as well, they are basically walking targets, slow moving targets.

There are moments when it looks like she knows what she is doing just fine, several times so far.

Someone can look okay with how they fight until they meat a real challenge. An adult could look like a great fighter if it is against a bunch of four years olds, that really does not speak much for their skills.
