The thing is, if Rick had shot the governor, it would have actually been interesting, like people would have been all "Whoa, didn't see that shit coming".
I gotta agree with Noodleface, in fact he said exactly what I told my wife earlier, this episode was like a Season 6 episode of Lost. Just pure fucking filler.
Hell the shot from Rick wouldn't even have to kill the governor, just shoot him, maybe his men get him away wounded and that leads to the inevitable confrontation.
Instead we get what should have been 10 to 15 minutes of another full episode stretched out to one whole episode.
I dunno, the consistency with this show is non existant, and I'm gonna be honest, I feel the same way when I try reading the comic books.
I'm a pretty big zombie buff, too. I mean my favorite films are all zombie films and I've always had a soft spot in my heart for zombie genre shlock.
