The interesting thing that some people point out in the comments is that the Governor is shown in one scene to have the bag that Rick gave to the nursing home folks, which implies it was the Governor's crew who murdered everyone.

So there is a somewhat clever tie-in with previous seasons and they completely edit that out. Sounds about right for the writing.
Would it have made the episode better or worse if the scientist started making out with Hershel's stump?

Way better. Hershel had guns stashed there, and if the guy DID look it would've at least sparked some violence.
The other guys knew they had weapons. Remember when they drove up and Hershel had an AR pointed at their faces?
I laughed out loud when Martinez showed off his sweet baseball bat skills which prompted Darryl to ask if he was military. Yep he aced "Combat Baseball" in boot camp.
I'm aware he asked because he was a bad ass with nerves of steel

I didn't understand that whole shot of Hershel in the car, checking his handgun. If it was foreshadowing, I still would've disliked the shot because I feel it's so heavyhanded (just like people constantly checking their magazines in movies/tv to make sure the ammo they never used was still there), but at least it would've had a place. For him to just be strapping a handgun to his stump to conceal the fact that he's carrying makes no sense when they've got loads of fucking guns out in the open.
It's shit like that where I wonder what the hell the people who make this show are doing. It seems very unprofessional to have a dicked up product like that that you put out for such a large audience.
At first I was wondering how he was driving the car then I realized I'm the only person on the planet to never drive an automatic

I can't wait for Maggie to be pregnant. That should allow for at least five full episodes of intense emotional conversations.

Why are you guys freaking out so much about the latest episode? It set the tone for the finale; people realise they actually have a lot in common but will still fight each other if their leader gives the word. Andrea knows she's proper fucked, Glenn and Maggie get back together so that it will be more dramatic when Glenn dies in the upcoming battle.
Rick has hardly recovered from all the shit piled on him and now has to make the call wether or not he'll sacrifice someone for the greater good, even if this person has proven its worth. And the Gov, yeah he's not as batshit insane as he is in the comics. Instead he is a man who turned hard when he lost his wife and got pushed over the edge after Michonne killed his zombie daughter, ultimately killing off his last tie to his "normal" life before the zombie apocalypse.
I mean, there's a lot of dumb shit in this show and you could have trimmed some fat from this episode, no doubt. But you're all acting like social retards who freak out if there aren't heads rolling 24/7. Without an episode like this, it won't mean shit if people die because they're just random strangers killing zombies.

Yeah, really, the Governor as portrayed in the show is not really all that batshit insane at all. You can explain away most of that shit. In the comics he crosses several lines. They are, maybe intentionally, making it really hard to see him as the "BADGUY!" that he is supposed to be.
Funny, I was just thinking the other day how much more interesting this season would have been if they portrayed the TV's Governor as a more sympathetic character and less like a stereotypical villain. I suppose it's a matter of perspective; although, most of his actions appear directed at maintaining his power. I'll admit that some of his actions appeared to help his people, but the gains they experienced appeared purely secondary in nature.
