THE WALKING DEAD: After seeing Terminus, do we all owe the Governor an apology?

The governor was already well beyond nutz before Michonne and Andrea showed up. Staging death matches to “entertain” the folks and sending assassins after anyone who chose to leave his little slice of heaven. He didn’t take rejection well.

Both places gave new members the same options. Stay and you can live. Reject the life-style and you die.

Hannibal also had the convenience of a refrigerator. They are eating Bob for sustenance, not because of some sick fetish, keeping him alive is a necessity. I don’t think that makes it extra evil.

Nope. They could dry the meat. If they are planning on moving, and want him as food, they should have cut off an arm, so he could still walk. Then you don’t have to carry him.

Of course next episode he will have turned, which explains his trying to hide his smile there at the end.

No apologies. If the governor had warned me not to go to Terminus and I did and survived, then I’d consider apologizing.

We already live in a world where it’s perfectly legal to shoot and kill people as long as the law is on your side. Shooting and killing people in Woodbury isn’t that outside the bounds of civilization. Terminus has no precedent for being acceptable anywhere.

Except maybe Papua New Guinea

The Governor was clearly worse. He would go out to find everyone in the area in order to kill them and take all their stuff. Hell, he’ll roll a friggin’ TANK up to your door and start the killin’.

By contrast, Terminus appears to keep largely to itself, no danger to anyone who doesn’t actually go there.

But they actively put up signs and enticed people to come.

Fair enough, but the people in the article (maybe) consume their already dead. They don’t hunt each other for food. They don’t tie up their food and cook and eat parts of it while having pleasant dinner conversation with it.

Except for all those signs for kilometers around the place inviting people in to the ‘sanctuary’.

I happen to think they’re about on par in terms of ‘evilness’.

But I do wonder what Skald’s end game is in having us compare lesser evils? :stuck_out_tongue:

With no malicious intent.

Hey! A pig like this, you don’t eat all at once!

…old, old joke…

I did have a good laugh when Chris Hardwick said that on TD.

And, yeah, there’s evil, and then there’s EATING PEOPLE evil.

If nothing else, Gareth and co have gone off a different deep end than the Governor.

The woman broadcasting puts that to rest. They were advertising.

What was their intent?

Heh. I told it yesterday. :stuck_out_tongue:

With delicious intent!

Extra evil was not offering Bob any Bob!

CMC fnord!

Question about the Walking Dead cannibals… how do they handle the fact that anyone they kill for food is going to turn?

I assume (not having seen the show lately) that you’d just make a point of shooting people in the head.

And next season when the next sooper evul group is a bunch of necro pedo telemarketers we’ll all owe Gareth an apology.
