      What do you mean true narcissist? If my understanding of the term is correct, they’re incredibly selfish, rarely consider how things affect others, and will actively harm others if it helps them in some way or makes them appear better. The ones I’ve met and known aren’t good at hiding it at all. The only way they’re good at hiding is through technicality. They love taking hyper specific jabs at people so when the story is recalled after they push someone to beating their ass, they can cry wolf. Then they feel superior because even though they started it and then acted like a pussy after, in their mind they controlled you.

    Merle didn't deserve to die the way he did. We were just getting to see his redemption only to be snatched away immediately. I am somewhat biased though because he was my favorite character for the few episodes he appeared in.

      Yeah it was a inside joke between Rick and Andrea, I actually loved that line. When they first meet in the store, she points a gun at him. she then apologizes and Rick says she had the safety on lol. When Amy dies and Rick tries to console her, she points the gun again, this time saying "I know how the safety works" calling back to Rick's advice, and lastly when she dies he gives her the gun and she says the same thing. It was a neat little call back.

  • @georgematanda3209

    The governor is the the dark version of Rick grimes. While Rick had his wife, son, and friends during the apocalypse, the governor had lost his family and had no real friends, just subordinates. He had to pretend to be someone else to be able to establish any relationships with others. People who saw his real self were very fearful and fell in line. The governor relied on being a monster because being the monster was his power so he couldn’t let go of that. He murdered other survivors in cold blood because he didnt want outsiders to live and because he wanted their resources. He represented what Rick would’ve easily become if Rick decided not to care anymore. Completely opposite of Rick who does things for the good of the people around him and only showed his brutality to protect his group. Who also established real meaningful relationships with those in his group. The governor had nobody truly because he only cared for his own gains, while Rick actually stepped down as a leader even though others wanted him to lead because ricks group had genuine likeness and respect, whereas the governor, people followed him out of fear and he even murdered Martinez and Pete for leadership because of his ego. Philip even mirrored Rick in presentation. Button up shirt with sleeves rolled up and tucked in, watch on left wrist, southern accent, both are leaders with a Dixon and a third guy as right hand men, cowboy boots and signature sidearms.

      No he is not. Rick would never ruthlessly slaughter his entire community in a fit of rage for not wanting to fight for him. Not matter if he had lost Lori & Carl, he would never have done it. Governor is not a good guy, he never was. He’s not supposed to be a dark version of Rick Grimes. That was literally Shane. Are we watching the same show man?

    The Governor really won prize for “asshole of the year award” at the end. Even after all the harm the Governor caused Rick’s group, at the end, Rick swallowed his hate and stretched out his hand with a peaceful resolution that would’ve saved both groups. If Philip really wanted to see his group survive as he claims, he’d swallow his pride and accept the deal. But no, he just can’t get past his ego and personal feelings, and attacks, getting most killed. It kinda annoys me that Carl is so mad at Rick afterwards. Why? Rick did everything he could to prevent the fight and showed Philip a lot more mercy than Philip deserved and it was Philip alone who chose the violent attack anyway when it so easily could’ve been avoided. As I said - Philip - “prize winning asshole.”

    Merle was calling back to god when he was "bagging" on the roof in s1, i don't think so he had nearly as much time he needed as he deserved, everyone felt he was taken out too early, i mean he was only alive for 2 episodes in s1 and 12 in s3 which really underusing character, not counting every and each episode of screentime it is even lower. It is sad, he deserved to be atleast shown to the end of s6
    Martinez was killed by him because he didn't want to be leader again, to make other atrocities happen (showing broken persona), as Martinez said :
    Maybe we can share the *crown* a little.
    Also screaming *I don't want, I don't want it* (he was trying to become changed man, but he knows that true leader would never ask to share the crown, otherwise it would show his incompetence.

In season 2, when Rick and the team where on the farm, dead relatives have been also kept in the separate house and fed. That act is usually interpreted as mercy, but why this one is bad?! It has always been a question for me.

      Hershel had come around to see keeping them around was wrong.
      The reason it’s seen that way, is because they don’t truly know what is left inside.
      Even if .1% of the person is still inside, it could be seen as torture to leave them alive.
      Michonne was of this belief, that’s why she kept her boyfriend as the pet, as punishment for him, and herself.

      I guess my one argument is when the person who saved you & kept you alive for months (Michonne) says something is wrong with this town, why don’t you listen?! Then when she didn’t kill the Governor in his sleep, I lost all respect for her.

      Safety and power.
      The Prison was built better to keep zombies out than a town. More land for farming in a safe area. The cell blocks could house more people, hold more storage.
      Power aspect, setting would help tear down followers' sense of individuality. Easy to lock up to anyone who questioned his authority.

    I always found it funny that people find Governor arc Michone as being annoying because she's antagonistic to the obviously bad guys, the lady's got survival instincts, a bullshit detector and she's obviously not well "socialized" those days.
    That version of Michone is hands down my fav in the series, followed closely by first season Glen, first/second season Rick, Shane, Merle and every second of good ol' papa Greene.

    What’s weird to me is we all seem to judge socio/psychopaths heavily. But…we all respond differently to trauma. If we lost everyone we cared about, who’s to say we’d be any different than they would? I know we all think we wouldn’t, but how do we know? Edit: yes, I’m aware they’re a threat. Of course they are. I’m not saying to pretend otherwise.

    It was a brilliant story-arc no doubt, the only thing that bothers me is the use of the tank. First of all, one person tanks don't exist, so there was no way that the tank operator could have worked it alone and what's more problematic is how did they get a hold of enough fuel to keep it running? Tanks like that one use up a gallon of fuel to drive a few hundred yards at the most, and you'd have to think that whatever reserves existed would have been used up rather quickly, not to mention that the octane levels drop over time, rendering what's left more or less useless as far as keeping a motor running. In reality, that alone should have made all motor vehicles unable to be used after a year at the most.

    I think that The Governor was perhaps the most well done villan in the entire series. I prefer the tv version to the comic version as well. The cartoonishly evil wouldn't have played as well on tv. It wouldve been cheesy if you ask me.

      She despises her zombies though she wants to see them as rotting monsters. The governor loved his daughter. She thought it was horrific that you keep someone you love as a zombie. That's why she kept the people she LOVED that killed her son.
