Did the Governor think of this as a warning shot? Or did he have hopes he could capture the prison in one surprise attack?
If you watch that attack it’s clearly more of a fishing expedition and also kind of a posturing move. Lew Temple’s character Axel sadly gets it and I feel like that was almost more luck than something that was calculated. It was really a threat: We’re tearing the door down, we’re shooting some guns, we want to show you that we’re powerful, we want to see what your capabilities to retaliate actually are.
