I loved that this episode was focused on the Governor. There isn't a whole lot of words being spoken in this episode, but you can see his pain.
You got to see the Governor after the end of last season, and it was a very emotional hour of television. We saw a different side of the Governor tonight, and we see that he does in fact have a soul. He is left alone and wandering the world until he finds a small family that takes him in. He sort of creates a bond with this little girl named Megan who remids him of his daughter. They have this moment where she asks what happened to his eye, and he tells her that he is a pirate. The way she reacts makes him laugh, and just the fact that he got a laugh you saw him change a bit. He spent some time with that family for a while and he is there when the father of Lily and Tara die, and he had to kill him when he turned into a walker. Megan was terrified after that because she has besn shielded from all of that. Tara did not even know how to kill the walkers, and this was all new to them.
The Governor goes by the name of Brian Harriet which is a name that he sees on the side of a barn. That is the name that these girls know him by, and he sort of gets it on woth Lily a bit. First off, after he killed Grandpa he was going to leave but Lily demands they go with him. He has done a lot for them and he takes them with him because he has made a connection with them. So they are asleep in the back of a truck, and then the Governor and Lily start getting a little bit of sexy time in... Okay that is all good and fine because the Governor is very attractive, but come on there are two people sleeping next to you! One of them being a child I might add, but whatever.
Toward the end of the episode Megan is still a bit afraid of Brian, but she runs with him when the walkers start to attack. The final scene showed the Governor fighting off these walkers in a pit with his bare hands to save Megan. He promises that he will not let anything hurt her, and then you see Martin standing over him. He just keeps whispering "cross my heart" to Megan. That was a very amazing episode and we are going to wait to see next weeks episode. Thank you for reading.
Keep Dreaming and Scheming! Till Next Time!
