Live Bait

This episode was absolutely amazing! I've been waiting to see the governor return. And finally he returned. This episode was a slow episode but that doesn't mean it was bad. If you love his character, you will love this episode. You will start feeling sorry for him. And "live bait" was definitely not a filler. It was a necessarily episode to see the governor and what he did in the mean time

There was some great character development in "live bait". And DM is such a great actor. I don't have anything else to say to this episode. hands down, it was great. I can't wait to see the next episode!

9/10

(sorry for my English)

This episode was very different from anything we have seen from this show so far! Yet.. it still feels like The Walking Dead, as it explores how a character can change in this ruthless world!

This episode centers on The Guvernnor where we left off at the end of season 3! It is clear that the recent experiences had shaped him quite a bit, while also reminding us, what was the most important thing to his character!

This shows us how the cruelest of people still has a human side burried somewhere! Family was the most important thing to him, and this episode shows! That was all he ever cared about!

The episode has very little tension, but makes up for that with excellent writting!

At some point, you forget that The Guvernnor was the main antagonist!

Not only do they find a horrible prison to horribly survive in, but there is a deadly pig flu rampant, and with all the other things that cause death, this was overkill. The Governor's story in the previous season was the only worthwhile part. Andrea as a stranger in a strange land, Woodbury had its own beginning, middle and end, unlike the prison which is just long, and boring with Rick, who is a likeable actor but he drawls and hams like William Shatner gets legendary crap for. And here again is a beginning, middle and end for The Governor, starting out with nothing, we see him begin his rise. It's not only a standalone episode, it stands alone in that it's like watching a 50 minute movie.

Nothing is left for The Governor anymore. After his violent rage against his people and leaving us with a question mark at the end of Season 3. We finally get to see what's been going on with him. His own two personal body guards left him with nothing ,but loneliness. Interesting how you kinda feel bad for The Governor but still have that grudge for what he did to those people in Woodbury throughout the episode. Seeing him destroying Woodbury was amazing seeing the fires and hell that burned though that evil place of lies. Since this episode focuses heavily on The Governor we get to see other side of him. And we get to meet new survivors who go along with The Governor. Which makes me question if we can trust the Governor again or is still a mad dog ready to blow more steam.

After "Internment", the greatest episode of Walking Dead to date (my opinion), it would have been hard to beat it from there. Although not as good, "Live Bait" was definitely a great episode where we see the events that took place straight after The Governor's massacre on his Woodbury people.

In this episode we see a soft side to The Governor, which will make you re-think your feelings towards him. Let's be honest - in season three he was the biggest asshole on the show.

The ending to the episode also raised questions on where they'll go from here - hopefully a good direction. Season Four has been an amazing season and has not disappointed yet!

Keelan's rating: 9/10.
