I’ve been listening to the governor in the talk program after this episode and he says the governor is trying to get back to that part of his life when he had a child and wife he cared for and protected - to become the good person he used to be. He has now latched on to this little girl to protect her but I’m sure he is going to revert to the evil person he had become as soon as he meets up with anyone from the other group.

I think if something happens to that little girl, he's going back to psycho gov. On the other hand, in last weeks episode, didn't they just show a high profile of the Gov? He could have had the little girl and her family/one of the family w/him and be trying to escape his old group that seems to have turned against him.

Could you imagine if the Gov saved the prison or becomes a “good guy” and Carol turns bad? Although I have some faith in Carol... Someone on here once mentioned The Walking Dead as a soap opera w/zombies. In the soap opera world, even serial killers and mob bosses can some how become the "good guy" if they develop a large enough fan base! Or the Gov could eventually die saving the little girl, sort of redemption and remember how much he wanted to save his little girl, even though she had turned?

It amazes me how this show manipulates my viewpoints. I actually found myself feeling a little sympathy for the governor (and yes, I do feel dirty). It was interesting seeing him eaten up with guilt over everything he did.

That said, it was pure momentary emotion on my part. The governor is who he is, and there can’t be any redemption for him. As David Morrissey said, the character is struggling to keep the psychotic part of himself in check, but that’s not going to last. The guy really is an excellent actor.

I guess the next episode will be about him, too. I’m ready to go back to the prison.

Good grief, he threw out a plate of perfectly good Spaghettios.
