So far, seems like I'm alone in my views...
I have a hard time feeling any sympathy for the Governor and prefer the flawed comic villain to the character they seem to be trying to create now. I was one of those fans that rooted for Walt until the very end in Breaking Bad, but I think it's easier to get behind a character that started good and turned evil than it is to to cheer for someone who started out evil and is turning things around. The transformation in the former case is more interesting and says a lot about someone as to when they decide enough is enough and they cannot tolerate those actions anymore.
And as for what's been going on at the prison this season, I have to admit I did enjoy the "virus" angle and the threat that it created. Not a huge fan of the little girls or Hershel's decision to basically sacrifice himself to serve tea to all the sick people. That seems to be yet one more dumb decision in a series of many (fortify the fences, dummies) that members of Rick's group take on a daily basis. How some of these people have survived for so long defies explanation.
But back to Hershel and the virus, I wasn't done with that plot point yet and this break to flashback to the Governor's potential redemption interrupted that. Did the dog and kitty antibiotics cure the virus and save the prisoners? Who has been baiting the walkers? How did Hershel grow his leg back? What about Alcoholic Bob? Why has Michonne suddenly decided to speak aloud instead of just pout and scowl? Has Rick abandoned farming entirely or is he still tending to his gun garden?
