The Walking Dead: 13 Things That Make No Damn Sense

2. The Governor Aiming With His Blind Eye

Walking Dead Governor

I've already gone into detail about the problems the Walking Dead chaps have with amputee characters, and though the Governor's disability is slightly different, he's still not above slipping up and reminding us that he's actually not missing an eye. I suppose it's understandable €“ like Michael Rooker and Scott Glenn, David Morrissey does brilliantly in the role, but he's obviously not going to dismember himself for television. Instead, he has to keep up a charade €“ you know, acting €“ and pretend that he's still blind in the one eye. But occasionally the mask slips, and it's usually in the most frenetic scenes. Case in point the season 3 finale Welcome To The Tombs €“ after getting his a** handed to him by Rick and the Prison-folk, the eyepatch-wearing loon and his enforcers retire to a grassy plain where they can discuss whether or not to live and let live with the Ricktatorship. The Governor, being nuts, quells this peaceable talk by mowing everyone down. However, Morrissey slips up slightly €“ he holds his rifle in the manner of a man not missing his eye, with the eyepatched side looking down to sights. So for all intents and purposes, it looks like he's firing completely and utterly blind, yet shooting everyone anyway. I know he's a good shot €“ you don't cap Axel with a distant headshot if you don't have some sort of skill €“ but still, this one's a bit of stretch.
