do they really need to do the rape though, even offscreen? I thought they've done a pretty good job of gradually upping the Governer's scumbag factor, without going over the top and ruining the balance between his charasmatic and dark sides. that little grin he gave Glenn while holding and kissing Maggie, see that was pure evil but nice and subtle too.
having him actually carry out the rape would make people hate him quite easily of course, but then why not just have him walking around punching kids in the throat, cause that would make him a stock bad guy too. the real challange for the writers is how do we get the audience to despise and want this guy dead, without making him a...ahem...comic book style villain.
or they could have just made the Governer a woman. that always seems to work on this show for viewers hating a character and wanting them killed off.
