The Governor, there are as many questions as there is answers about him. But as evil as he was I liked him as a villain. Andrea loved him until it was too late and got bitten by Milton and not by love. But I am thinking and wondering if it's not possible that he had connections with Gareth at Termius. I did not see any evidence in anything that was said by him or Gareth, but with all the different methods of transportation we see and don't see, I believe there was connections. The Governor was obviously deeply in some type of post traumatic stress over losing his family in the Zombie Apocalypse. He kept his walker daughter in a closet trying to somehow reform or heal her. In her zombie like state he was still trying to figure out if there was something left of her.
Then there was that aquarium showcase of walker heads. What was the importance of that case? Where they trophies? Did he rotate them out for kills of the week? One thing is for sure is he wanted to be in charge of who he valued as important, because if he did not like you, you died! But here is why I am asking if he knew about the group at Terminus . Lets just say he killed someone and wanted to make sure there body was never found. The Governor was not just a leader he was a business man and until Rick's small group came along, he was well in control of the region. How big was the region? Could he have sold dead fresh bodies to Termius to have peace between the two groups? When the group got to Terminus there was no shortage of food. I assume they had a freezer. I just have a feeling that Gareth knew more about Ricks group and Woodbury then what was said in the show.
In episode 6 of Season 4 "Live Bait" I felt that the Governor was attempting to change his ways because of his bonding with the family and changing his name to Brian Heriot , . And when he saved Meghan Chambler's life and promised to always protect her, that never works in any series and almost a death warrant for the person getting the promise, which it was for Meghan and soon after It was over for the Governor. And when he ran into his old buddy from Woodbury and then killed him that sealed the deal, he was going back to his old ways.
The Governor could have been a Bible salesmen, in the way he convinced his new found group to attack the prison. He almost preached salvation in the way he told them how evil Rick's group was. One big question I had is in the Governor's mind, did he really want to be the leader for his new group or did he want revenge, was he just using his new group as a army. He took a tank to blow up the prison. it seems to me that he would want to kill with minimum damage and not blow the place up. But he kept on blasting the prison over and over again. Why did the group stand by him? Did they really think he was that great of a leader? Your going to get the group a new home but your going to have to blow it up first? I sometimes think he did not care if he lived or died after Meghan's Mom came to the camp with her dead body and he put a bullet in her head. He beat Rick savagely with a raw unrelenting vengeance. There was nothing strategic in his beating. He just wanted to kill, and he would have if Michonne had not put a blade in the Governor's back coming out his chest.
I am not really clear on what the Governor wanted, But in season 3 episode 3 "Walk With Me" he made it clear that nothing would get in his way when he killed the military group. That episode raised other questions.
Whats going on in other parts of the world? I guess the new companion series coming soon will answer those questions.
