30 Greatest Ever Moments In The Walking Dead

11. The Governor's Final Stand

The Walking Dead Negan
AMC

Whereas Negan's best moment is perhaps his very first scene, The Governor's is actually his last, when after half a season missing from action he finally returns to the prison in a bid to finish what he started.

Kidnapping Michonne and Hershel and bringing a tank in to destroy Rick's new life, The Governor officially loses his mind, refusing to work with Rick for their shared survival and brutally beheading Hershel in front of his traumatised daughters.

The fight that follows features some of the show's most iconic moments, from The Governor nearly killing Rick with his bare hands, to Daryl going toe-to-toe with the tank, and Tyreese becoming babysitter for the surviving kids. It's all frighteningly fun action, with enough death to leave viewers reeling even after all this time.
