Killing off the Governor is like killing off the Joker...

The Governor is a good character.  I think killing him off would be a mistake.

Think about this...
  Enough people talk and begin to put doubt in the Governor that is position is not as secure as it once was, but there are still those who are loyal to him in the town.  In the showdown, Rick and his people, along with those in the town who doubt the Gov, over throw him and put Rick in charge.  Darryl looses the Gov as he runs and does not get to kill him.

The next season is Rick solidifing is position, looking for those in the town still loyal to the Gov and looking to put him back in power.  Making sure the Gov, who is still lurking around, doesn't make his way back in, and keeping Darryl from getting himself killed while searching outside the walls looking for the Gov.

I think this is much better!!

I really don't see Rick wanting to be in charge of a large group of people...he just told the current group that everyone's entitled to a vote in the decision making process and ; ''I'm not your Governor.''  I'm really hoping they take the Governor out via Darryl this season and NOT make it a cliff hanger we have to wait until the next season to see.

Total drek!

we will have to agree to disagree. except for Boardwalk and Newsroom. excellent writing + compelling actors portraying challenging characters = quality programming. i mean it's no walking dead by any means... *SARCASM*

That's for sure! The zombie effects in those other shows suck! They may as well have not even tried!

Darn, I really thought the Governor would be killed.  Anyone else despise Andrea as much as me?  Every episode I tell my girlfriend that I wish Andrea would be the next to die.  But if the show follows the comic at all, Andrea will probably be around for a while :(

Andrea is beyond annoying. She should really be killed. Why Andrea is still around is a mystery?

Felt very cheated.  No closure.  Compared to some of the other episodes this season, which were fantastic, this one was kinda lame.  I guess they've managed to sign David Morrissey for another season.

Yeah, i found the whole thing kind of anti climactic. The ''prison raid '' was just plain sad. Wasn't surprised they took out Andrea, although i liked her character and was sorry to see her go. The previous episode with the death of Merle was way better. I guess what got me the most was the mind numbing amount of commercials we were assaulted with.  They really should make the episodes longer, although that would also include MORE commercials. Still looking forward to season 4...

Just you and the Governor!

Damn! How many 1st season cast members are left? I count 5!

I'm glad the Governor is still around, I think he'll be a great villain for a year or two.  He definitely needs to learn to relax.  I liked the prison raid.  Rick and his people couldn't win a long battle and had to end it fast.  And they used the Gov's favorite weapon--walkers--to reduce the numbers and panic the rest.  I think with them in the jail and with the lessons they learned from the Governor, that could be a very solid stronghold.

It started well but soon dissolved into yet another pointless episode. They built this whole season around giving us a big showdown which never materialized. The Governor rides off, certainly to appear again, as apparently they couldn't come up with anything better for the next season. Completely unsatisfactory. Between this, the terrible arc for Andrea, and Rick's awful insanity bit, I'm done with this show. I don't think the writers have any idea what sort of story they want to tell or what to do with the characters.
