In March 2013, it is reported that David Morrissey will return to The Walking Dead as a regular cast member for season 4: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/liv...rrissey-431929

Filming for season 4 begins in May: http://screenrant.com/walking-dead-s...re-start-date/

In August 2013, Morrissey is cast in a different pilot on AMC: http://tvline.com/2013/08/28/david-m...on-4-governor/

Season 4 begins and we get two Governor-centric episodes at the end of the first half of the season that have little to no connection with the rest of the main cast. Then he is killed off in the half-season's final episode.

I wonder what changed between the writers/producers of the show and Morrissey to go from being a regular cast member to basically an afterthought in a couple months?

Thanks for this fred, this is what I was trying to figure out. The whole prison attack with the tank is a nod to the comics, from the way they line up to the line "Killem all." Except the show did a way better job, especially how they tied in the whole Herschel, and the girls shooting people.. it was great. Very well done.

I really think this whole half of the season was literally just fixing a mistake. The mistake of leaving the Gov alive.
