That is something I have somewhat of a problem with. I can't see a scenario where a person like that could have risen to that kind of uncontested leadership in the life-or-death reality they exist in. I can't see the survivors that make out the population of Woodbury being that naive and gullible, and be fine with not having a word about how they allocate their resources and what the general direction of their small society should be. They are not that many, you really would have to go out of your way not to be involved.

The citizens of Woodbury only cares about having a roof over their heads, food and safety from Walkers. The Governor can provide all of that so from their perspective hes a good leader that looks after them, they dont know about his insanity.

I feel like the Governor could have recruited Ricks group without a lot of conflict but then there would be no plot lol

Andrea is in a pretty tough situation. If she stays in the prison she gets annihilated with Ricks group on the other hand if she sides with Woodbury then she is safe and gets to live under pretty nice conditions but she will have blood on her hands. Andrea is pretty annoying but she gets a lot of unnecessary hate. Can you really blame her for what she has done up until now? All she wants is a normal life and Woodbury is as close as you get in a zombie apocalyse..

I like to think I'm pretty understanding towards characters, hell I didn't even mind Skyler from Breaking Bad. But Andrea is just the most useless, waste of time, terribly written character I can think of right now. I feel like if she didn't exist in the show, it would be like 30% shorter and exactly as enjoyable. Not to mention her bad plastic surgery ducklips face, I can't understand it. I just hate every possible detail.

See for yourself how disorganized and animalistic humans can get over cheap stuff they don't even need. Then imagine what will happen when it's actual survival at stake.

I cannot understand all this Andrea hate, yes she was annoying in season two but her first episode of season 3 was probably the best episode of the season where the governor was introduced. The Woodbury stuff I find very interesting and she plays a major role in what we see of that. And regarding people not understanding her not killing the governor; when you have feelings for someone it's very hard to be rational, often you realise after how naive or blind you have been but when you're first infatuated with them you'll overlook it.

what major role does she play in woodbury that only her character could represent to the audience? how is andrea perfect for the job? seems to me like it's just a convenience to have a voice for the faceless woodbury masses that they can also spin into empty drama every week until she finally wises the fuck up and leaves like she should have done the first time she saw the governor's head collection.

you're presupposing the rationale, even in emotional terms, on why she should have fallen in love with the governor in the first place. that never made any thematic sense, becase outside of her limited perspective the audience knows he's a psycho, and even then ignoring that we're back to that even if you love somebody, once they're meditating on rows of zombie heads every night it might be best to leave until they get their shit together.

go ahead and like the show still, that's your opinion, but saying you can't understand why people don't like andrea is pretty absurd, especially after this last episode where they dared to devote most of the running time to her only to have her be in the exact same position in the end as she was at the start.

I don't mean she plays a major role in the politics of Woodbury, but in how we perceive Woodbury, i.e. what you describe as a convenience here. From her point of view we also get to see some of the civilians so it's not entirely shown from the Governor's perspective. Perhaps you're right that she as such is not necessary but it needs to be someone and it's easier if it's someone from the group who we already knew. The point you make that she should wise up and leave could be made about a lot of the characters in Woodbury; look at Milton, he's terrified of the Governor and knows a lot more of what he's capable of than Andrea.

What you say in the second paragraph I'm not sure I fully agree with, my point would be what you say; her perspective of the governor is limited compared to the audience, she does not know and is only coming to realise what kind of person he is. She doesn't know he meditated in front of those heads, he passed it off by saying something like they were to remind him of the sacrifices that were necessary or something, not that they were people he murdered in cold blood. Before she met him she spent a Winter with Michonne after having lost her friends and then was sick. Then they get to Woodbury, it's a protected town, she has a possibility of a relatively normal life and no longer needs to run. She finds the leader attractive, he's very charming and they get together. Have you ever been involved with someone who realise after was a terrible person? All your friends can tell you and you won't see it until you make the realisation yourself. That's what this episode was about, she is coming (slowly) to the realisation that the Governor is not who she thought he was. Sure it dragged, there was unnecessary parts like in every episode and it could have been a lot better done. I'm not even saying it was a particularly good episode. But she didn't really do anything that made me hate on her in it.

There are a lot of problems with this show, I regularly feel it's lacking, multiple times during season two I almost gave up on it. There is some very poor dialogue --eg. Andrea's cliched speech a few episodes ago. But as her character goes in this season, I don't understand the hate.

isn't the above posts the reason why this showrunner/writer was fired. There was obvious flaws. Very obvious flaws. While the third season started out better the 2nd half has been very lackluster.

Reportedly, Glen Mazzara clashed with a lot of the staff, especially with Robert Kirkman. The new executive producer, Scott Gimple, barely has a track record. He did write most of the best episodes for season 2, so he has that going for them. Scott Gimple's ideas on where the show should go is probably much more in line; that's the only good reason I can think of for replacing Glen Mazzara with Scott Gimple (from my perspective, of course).

It looks to me like he is missing his eye on his left hand side.Then when the scientist guy walks in and he turns around, the eye patch is on the right side (as it normally is). Am I missing something or did they really screw up which eye was which?
