I am sad to hear the Governor is going to be played by someone other than Michael Rooker. In the comic, with Merle losing his hand the way he did, I was expecting some symmetry there (for those who have read, you would understand). Merle may show up in the other camp in time, which would make sense. But maybe that was something Frank Darabont wanted to do, and his leaving changed things.

I can only guess finding that prison was foreshadowing the future ... but then Rick slammed his car through the fence may have changed my mind. They seem to be giving little winks to the comic ... and then abandoning that story completely. Maybe that was due to contracts or change in the production leadership. It also may have to do with how long they see this show going and keeping the actors and actresses under contract. Costs may cause them to have to wrap up the show much quicker. I keep waiting for them to address the title of the show which was a huge revelation in the comic book.

I thought they already did, but I could be wrong. You're talking about who the term "walking dead" actually refers to, right?
