The katana-wielding woman was obviously more of a threat, and there was no way that she could have lived in the same vicinity as someone like The Governor. In the end, The Governor's victim didn't matter because he greatly underestimated Rick's group. Hershel's death set off a chain of events that resulted in an all-out battle on the prison grounds. Rick's group fired on The Governor's militia as Michonne escaped from her bindings. She was then able to impale The Governor through the chest with her katana, leaving him to suffer a slow death.
The survivors then fled from the prison , splitting into groups and developing a series of key subplots featured in The Walking Dead season 4 and beyond.
Kara Hedash is a features editor and writer for Screen Rant. From time to time, she dives into the world's most popular franchises but Kara primarily focuses on evergreen topics. The fact that she gets to write about The Office regularly is like a dream come true. After graduating college, writing began as a part-time hobby for Kara but it quickly turned into a career. She loves binging a new series and watching movies ranging from Hollywood blockbusters to hidden indie gems. She also has a soft spot for horror ever since she started watching it at too young of an age.
Michonne only wins by grabbing a lengthy shard of aquarium glass and shoving it into the Governor's eye. She's about to administer the killing blow when Andrea Batmans in out of nowhere with a gun; she protects the Guv, and Michonne leaves.
First, I'm glad Andrea sided with the Governor here, because there was absolutely no reason for her not to. The Guv gave her food, shelter, safety, booze and sweet, sweet David Morrissey-style lovin', and while Michonne may have kept Andrea safe while she was sick, she also abandoned Andrea without giving her any real reason other than she didn't like the Governor for some unarticulated reason. So while I still think Andrea is really annoying, this move still makes perfect sense to me.
Because the Governor is so worried when he sees Michonne about to kill his straight-jacketed and thus not that much of a threat zombie daughter, so scared, so human. He begs Michonne for his daughter's unlife, and it's clear that he would give up Woodbury in an instant if it just meant getting his darling little brain-eater back. And then Michonne kills her anyways. In my few episodes I've talked about how not-evil the Governor seems - creepy, sure, incredibly controlling, definitely - but seeing as he has a goal, and that goal is protecting his people, it's been hard to see his actions as any less noble than Rick's.
Sure, maybe the Governor enjoys making these hard, cruel decisions, but if TWD has shown us one thing over and over again, it's that in the zombie apocalypse ends matter a whole hell of a lot more than means.
So to have this scene between the Governor and Michonne - a character who's primary trait in the show has been "sullen," and has not come close to engendering the goodwill and popularity of her comic counterpart - to have this scene be about Michonne straight-up murdering the Governor's daughter in front of him while he begs her not too… that's fucked up. Because it's almost impossible to look at this scene and not think of Michonne is the villain.
I felt they've been blurring the line between Rick and the Governor pretty hard all season, but I've never quite been able to tell if this comparison has been intentional on the part of the writers, or just a weird result of them not making the Guv villainous enough and Rick and Michonne heroic enough. Or maybe I just expected Michonne to be katana-wielding Wonder Woman because I'd heard of her through the comics, and assumed she'd be heroic all the time.
But things have improved, so maybe they've improved this much and we're getting into a seriously complex look at what morality actually mean when human society no longer exists.
Either one. Anyways, Rick and Maggie and Glenn escape, although Oscar is killed in the process and Daryl is captured. Michonne quickly meets the crew outside of Woodbury and points out Rick needs her help to get everybody back to the prison safely. It is, oddly, the one scene in this entire seasonwhere Michonne seems human, and scared, and not trying to pretend she's the Man with No Name, and I really, really hope it's a permanent change.
The Governor gets his eye bandage, a vendetta against Merle since he told the Guv Michonne was dead and what is obviously going to be an all-consuming desire for revenge. He points out Merle as the "terrorist's" inside man, and brings out the captured Daryl, too.
I've had my doubts how evil the Governor's been in the first half of this season, but it's clear once episodes start back in February, he's going to be out for revenge. Sure, he's a troubled man out to inflict as much damage on those he thinks wronged him, but here's the thing: They actually wronged him.
The Governor doesn't know Michonne isn't really part of Rick's group, but he knows that someone broken into his home and killed his daughter right in front of him. The fact she was a zombie doesn't matter to him at all. The Governor may be a monster now, but if so, he's a monster of Rick and Michonne's own creating. As comes Tyreese, so goes Oscar. Dude, even the Empire thinks you're being a little overdramatic, and they have a goddamned Death Star.
You know that means they're doomed, right? It's an incredibly dark moment, but a powerful one. Seriously, he had no idea a short-haired heterosexual woman was even a thing that was possible.
