1 annoying character down, 10 more to go
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Andrea was starting to grow on me, but the fact that she wanted to keep talking to Milton while he was dying instead of trying to grab the pliers was a serious "WTF?"  Pretty sure it was intentional just to annoy the audience.  Mission Accomplished. 

MDS

she was terrible and needed to go

so do: the governer and his boring henchmen, the girl with cutty, rick, ricks son, herschels other daughter who has no lines and michone.

then they need to bring back merle because michael rooker was one of 4 people on the show who could act

I knew from the second that Milton died in the room, that was it for Andrea. Reason being they had already done the "confined to a chair" while locked in the room with a walker with Glenn and he got away. They wouldn't have done the same deathtrap scenario twice.

Finished up TWD. I had also grown to like Andrea, but not enough to really care. I'm excited about the psycho Governor transitioning from know-quantity adversary to unhinged wildcard character. Should be good times if they keep him around.
Is rjs gonna have to choke a bitch?

Let them eat bootstraps.

Yeah, I've been waiting for him to go off the deep end, and I knew he eventually would, but I was still caught off guard when he opened fire on his own people.  Didn't think he would go that far.  From the time he was introduced on the show, you knew the guy was a fleshpop.  But then when they showed him in that room with tanks full of zombie heads, you knew the dude had serious issues and there was going to be a real dark side to him rather than just being some run-of-the-mill villain.  And they just kept sending little signals to tell you that he's really farged in the head.   

Zombie heads in a bunch of fish tanks. 
Capturing zombies and removing their teeth.
The "blood sport" fighting in a circle of zombies. 
His obsession with taking out the prison.
Shooting Merle and leaving him to turn.
Stabbing Milton and leaving him to turn so that he could kill Andrea.

His "evolution" into a total socio/psychopath has actually been fun to watch, and is probably why the Woodbury vs Prison storyline has gone on so long.  And I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Carl grows up to be just like him.

Not really talking about when he's 30, more like mid-teens, which would only be like 2 seasons from now.  But really, I don't care if the show lasts another 10 years.   

SD

In the comics the Governor is hundred times crazier than he is on TV. He's also hispanic in the comics so that explains it.

Sgt PSN

Should have made him a chick to top off the crazy, amiritesd?

I read somewhere that in the book, Rick actually goes after and kills the Gov after the latest attack.

i would hope because hes not remotely scary or crazy on the show

there has never quite been a show like walking dead that is completely devoid of any good actors writers story tellers or characters that gets phenominal ratings...all because american males are obssessed with zombies the way american females are obssessed with vampires

The governor chops Ricks arm off and beats and rapes the shtein out of Michonne. He kills Lori and the baby during the prison attack.

perhaps you could explain sd's reasons for "disliking" it as well since you seem to be so in tune with other peoples minds
