The Walking Dead: 15 Stupid Decisions Lori Grimes Would Be Proud Of
6. Andrea Returns To The Governor ("I Ain't A Judas")
When Andrea learns of the battle between the Governor's men and Rick and Co., she visits the prison. She's not joyfully received by anybody except for Carol, finding herself facing half a dozen gun barrels before she has time to say hello...and she doesn't respond well when she finds out why. Which they very willingly spell out for her. The Governor had had Maggie and Glenn tortured, they remind her. The Governor was going to have Maggie and Glenn killed. The Governor had attacked the prison and fired first, killing Axel. The Governor had pitted the long-separated Dixon brothers against one another. The Governor had sent Merle to kill Michonne after vowing to let her go. Andrea's only responses to the accusations are either to protest that she did not know or to point the finger at Merle for carrying out "Philip's" orders. She refuses to grant them access to Woodbury to kill the Govrnor, although she does give some consideration to Carol's suggestion that she give the Governor "the greatest night of his life" and then murder him in his sleep. Well, she carried out step one. In all seriousness, Andrea really should not be blamed for failing to kill the Governor as he slept. Killing in the heat of battle is one thing; assassination is another, and being in a relationship with the intended victim would only complicate things. Nevertheless, to go back to this man after learning of what he had done to her friends--and could most certainly do to her--was an awfully shortsighted decision. Returning to Woodbury for the sake of the people was one thing; returning to the Governor is another.
Fiction buff and writer. If it's on Netflix, it's probably in my queue. I've bought DVDs for the special features and usually claim that the book is better than the movie or show (and can provide examples). I've never met a TV show that I won't marathon. Follow on Twitter @lah9891 .
