Since it is TV, he will kill about a million zombies with his bare hands.  
Perhaps Die Nobly.

In reality, I’d expect him to regress at any moment and begin machine gunning people.

Good try AMC, but the governor could pet a million puppies and I won’t care. I’m all for edgy gray anti-heroes, but once you cross a certain line in the petulant manner he did you can’t go back.

This was amazing. Usually the trope happens when they’re running away from the monsters. This gal just has an inner ear disorder.

My prediction is that Martinez is using the Governor as a bargaining chip to get into the prison. We’ll give you the Governor to execute if you let us join you, type thing.

I thought the dumbest part of the whole episode was when they all piled into one vehicle. Those jackasses could have taken 3 vehicles and WHEN one inevitably broke down they’d have 2 more to go with. Idiots.

And the Gov and the sister making out right next to the sleeping sister and her little kid? Ewww.

In the beginning of the episode I was jokingly saying “don’t bang the governor” when ever one of the adult females was alone with him. By the end I was just shaking my head. I also rolled my eyes at his months of being so crazy and burnt out that he was behaving like a zombie, was magically cured after a few days with the apartment crew, and a little girl’s love. Oh and big ups to mom for leaving the obviously deranged guy alone with her kid.

Was that Kirk Avecedo with Martinez’s group at the end?

Maybe he’ll cut the governor’s throat. Then they’ll rename Thanksgiving"Joe Toye Day" and pay him 10,000 bucks a year for the rest of his life.

In the bathroom, he’ll be the lord of TP.

So long as it isn’t fresh bills.

You all had trouble telling new apartment woman from Maggie? I kept confusing the governor with Jeff Bridges in _True Grit_.

“What is your intention, Governor?”

“I aim t’kill ye in one minute, Rick, or see you hanged in Fort Smith at Judge Parker’s convenience!”
