He has to rebuild and reinvent and totally commit to going forward. He has to become this other man. He can no longer be Philip, and he has to take away all ties to the past. We get a glimpse of what the Governor was like as a father when he bonds with young Megan. Is this a way of regaining his humanity? Nobody is all gray and no one is entirely bad. We are a mishmash of those things all the time. It does awaken a great responsibility in him for this girl, her mother and sister.
He hates having responsibility, but he is a man who works well with it. With Andrea, he had all sorts of secrets going on in order to keep Woodbury going. He had a different ego: He was in his mancave and he had all attributes of success and was drunk on power. The Producers Weigh In. His real problem is that he has spent the entire episode reinventing himself with these people and then someone from his past walks right into his life.
How is he going to play that? That will be his dilemma going forward. Who will win out? Will it be Brian or the Governor who wins out? But he might not be that person. There might be another twist in this man and his tale of humanity and how he negotiates survival. Rewatching Season 3 and I've noticed a few things. When Michonne and Andrea first enter Woodbury Michonne senses something isn't right and pleads Andrea to leave.
She stays but later on she discovers the zombie heads and the governors zombified dead daughter. Not only that, the governor didn't tell Andrea that maggie and glenn were kidnapped and being interogated by Merle and also the fact that the governor tried to get daryl and merle to fight to the death.
Finally, when andrea visits the prison Rick tells her that the governor attacked them and shot one of their people Axel so why the hell did Andrea still stay at Woodbury when she knew she'd be safer at the prison and also Michonne was there??!
If that situation was realistic she would had probably left as soon as she got told Merle kidnapped Glenn and Maggie but you know.. I think because she grew really close to The Governor and she actually loved him. When she found out that it was Rick's group who attacked Woodbury and that The Governor killed Axel, she wanted them to work something out. She loved both people and wanted them to work something out to prevent people from dying. However, when Andrea found out what The Governor was going to do to Michonne, she realized that he is crazy and that she needs to kill him.
That's how I see it. We won't blame the flu on the prison, but as the Governor's invasion proved, the place wasn't entirely impenetrable. Plus, well, it's a prison. The prison was a good place to escape for a while, but it was no one's dream home, and with its proximity to people like the Governor, it was just a matter of time before the walls came down.
Pros : Mostly walker-free. Growing population of people. Places to live. Steady flow of resources. Cons : Bizarre public displays of walker-sparring. Unstable leader that sometimes murders people.
Challenging the leader may result in death. Woodbury is was much a community as it was a location. As a location, wasn't so bad. There were resources, plenty of space and relative safety from walkers, not to mention people to socialize with. As a community, the place was a complete and total fail. The population was divided between the murdering and unstable "Governor," the people who supported and assisted him, the people who were blind to his true nature, and those who saw it and were killed as a result.
Unless you were a horrible person or you're the ignorance-is-bliss type, Woodbury was a terrible place to live. Pros : Quaint shelter in a remote location. Hunting options for food. No shortage of pecans. A calm place to relax and regroup.
Carol and Tyreese lived at the pecan grove for one episode, but the events that transpired there were so memorable, the cozy, terrible spot warrants its own place on this list. Confessions and bloodshed ensued. We can't really blame Lizzie for the Grove's failure, other than to suggest that a place so seemingly warm and calm and good might serve as the perfect catalyst for something dark to bubble to the surface.
Lizzie went full-on crazy and killed her sister at the grove. Carol put a bullet into Lizzie's head. And then she told Tyreese that she killed Karen. In some respects, the Grove was a slice of heaven amidst a hellish reality. But maybe it was proof that no matter where you go in this apocalypse, hell's going to seep in and when it does, no amount of pecans can sweeten the nightmare.
Pros : Good location, easy to get to. Fence to keep walkers out. Barbecue served daily. Cons : Giant pile of bones and stuff. Unstable occupants. It's a trap. Barbecue is people. Terminus was one of the worst settings to date, and a shining example of just how horrible this reality is. As is the case for Woodbury, Terminus is tainted by its terrible community.
Except this group isn't divided into awful and ignorant. The Terminites fall somewhere in that fascinating gray area where people who've faced their own horrors eventually become horrible themselves.
Or cannibals, in the case of the Terminus folk.
