Mid-season finale spoilers, and the last 2 episodes
The Governor is the worst character ever. he's like a cut and paste villain with no humanity whatsoever. sure, it makes for a brutal villain, but it makes him utterly boring to watch, and while his actor is decent, I don't think he suits the lame role well at all.
They went to stupid lengths to make a him look like a badass, like a legitimate threat. I found it so annoying how he's always so calm and staring into space, even when a zombie is coming at him, or he's in the middle of a warzone. It's completely unrealistic the way he has no reaction to ANYTHING.
There were 2 whole pineappleing episodes focused on him, trying to show a human side to him, only to show, SPOILERS, he has none! He isn't even a good motivational speaker or anything, how the pineapple did he manage to convince that group to war with another band of survivors after like 2 days of taking over as leader? shoddy shoehorned other factions, a pathetic attempt to bring back a character that for some reason people fangasm over.
He's a pineappleing dull character and completely ruined season 4 for me as soon as they brought him back.
The only highlights of these 3 dull as hell governor centric episodes was:
1: an actual honest to god gay person on the show, and 2 of them! also despite being a lesbian couple were not played for fanservice at all, and genuinely had a tender moment in the mid-season finale, with one of them shown to be an actual good person much like Rick's group
2: actually good shock value, it's just a shame it was connected to the Governor.
I'm a bit miffed that they didn't show him actually die. He got stabbed through the fucking chest with a katana, and then had a gun pointed at him by a woman with shaky hands. They could have shown his body lying there, or showed him being eaten by walkers. It pisses me off because now they can find a way to bring him back, and i'm not sure I can continue watching this show if they bring him back again.
