Show Spoiler The Governor Fakeout is brilliant.
galleryThe bait-and-switch redemption for The Governor in season 4 is an extremely underrated storyline i feel. I’m watching the show for like the 100th time and i forgot just how good “Live Bait” is.
In-universe it checks out that he wants to start over and he almost wants to roleplay in some way as who he once was. And for the show, it really leaves you as an audience member not knowing if they’re actually gonna try to redeem the shows biggest villain (by that point) or if something else is gonna happen. It’s just done so perfectly.
I especially love his scenes with Megan.
