I really enjoyed last night's episode. And I think it's great how they are putting a heavier focus on characters other than the central ones at the prison. Now that Walter White is no more, The Governor has become my favorite TV bad guy. But instead of just presenting him as a generic, all bad-all the time-always was, cartoonish bad guy (the way most TV shows would and the way this show did early on), they've now given him a story arc that's pretty similar to Walter White's. And I really like how they are touching on the question that's gone back & forth between Rick, Hershel and Carol: once you go so far/too far, can you ever come back... can you ever get back?
The main question with The Governor seems to be, once certain conditions are present, would his demons take over again? Or would that little girl, who reminds him (maybe too much?) of his daughter, be able to keep him on track? What turns this guy into "Heisenberg" and how well can he control that switch???
The only real distraction last night (IMO) was the girl who plays the little girl's mother... uh, she looks IDENTICAL to the girl who plays Maggie. It just seemed too weird to have the little girl (loosely) resembling his own daughter and her mother (his new girlfriend?) being a doppelganger for the woman that he was about to rape and/or use sexual torture to get information from last season. But I like this actress more than the one who plays Maggie, mainly because she doesn't have to cover up an English accent with that fake as hell and badly done southern accent. I would have been all for firing the current Maggie actress, replacing her with this new girl and then finding someone else to play the little girl's mother.
Still, great episode though.
