The Walking Dead never ceases to be uneven and at times implausible. In this episode we see the Governor, a completely reformed character from the homicidal mad man we saw slaughter the towns folk of Woodbury the end of the last season, drifting along the back rounds trying to find somewhere to rest his head, and shave off that terrible stick-on beard.
He comes across a family in a small apartment building who take him in for the night. During the next few days the Governor, being the nice guy that he is, helps the family out by doing favors. Like getting a back gammon board for the families old grandpa and an oxygen tank for the old fella because hes dying of lung cancer (he's such a nice guy).
The governor and the family end up in a camp run by a couple of the governor old friends from Woodbury. It isn't long before the governor is back in the thick of things, trying to run the camp and take charge no matter who gets in his way. He seems to have taken the family that he met for his own. His relationship with the women he has known for only a few days resembles that of a long married couple, which is just stupid.Despite the ridiculous parts, this episodes is not without its graces. The shot were the Governor looks into the lake and the golf scene are highlights. The episode ends on a cliffhanger setting everything up nicely for the mid season finale.
