From the episode 5 thread:

I don't think they'd do two in a row.

Referring to Governor episodes. Guess who was wrong Sawyer?

 

[Sawyer]

NOT ME!!!!

 

[Reek]

Thomas, please.

 

[Kane52630]

the opening scene was pretty awesome.

Still annoyed by the "Song of a the week" type feel.

 

[Sawyer]

Hush, you.

 

[Reek]

Still annoyed by the "Song of a the week" type feel.

Aren't you a wrestling fan? Shouldn't you like each character having their own theme?!

 

[Kane52630]

Oh yeah sure my bad... I can't wait for the next "song of the week" for Carl.

 

[Sawyer]

Oh yeah sure my bad... I can't wait for the next "song of the week" for Carl.

Frank Darabont Rips ‘Sociopaths’ Who Fired Him From ‘Walking Dead’

http://variety.com/2013/tv/news/fra...s-who-fired-him-from-walking-dead-1200855593/

Frank Darabont is revved up about finally tackling the noir genre with his TNT series “Mob City,” but that doesn’t mean his wounds from “The Walking Dead” experience have healed.

Billed as a three-week event, “Mob City” is one of TNT’s most ambitious series efforts to date. The net plans to roll out two episodes at a week starting Dec. 4, hoping that the condensed six-episode season will generate more buzz in a short period of time when most of its competitors are in holiday-light mode.

“It’s semi-binge-viewing, I guess,” Darabont says. “The audience really gets to see if they’re digging what they’re seeing…It’s so smart. If the show is successful, it will be due in large measure not just to our efforts, but to TNT’s because they’re marketing the hell out of it.”

Darabont’s interest in film noir has rattled within him for years. But the spark that led to “Mob City” came from a happenstance purchase while leaving the city that would become his muse.

“I found the book in LAX,” Darabont says of John Buntin’s “L.A. Noir: The Struggle for the Soul of America’s Most Seductive City,” the inspiration for the series. “I was leaving town for a quick week of R&R in 2010. At first, I thought it was a collection of short stories, but I realized it was nonfiction on the plane, and I couldn’t put the damn book down for two days.”

Darabont began developing “Mob City” with his longtime friend Michael De Luca not long after he went through the excruciating experience of being fired from “The Walking Dead,” the cable smash that he launched on AMC in 2010. When asked if he still watches the zombie-apocalypse drama, Darabont lets loose.

“Oh god no, why would I,” he says. “If the woman you loved with all your heart left you for the Pilates instructor and just sent you an invitation to the wedding, would you go?”

He continues, “There’s a deep commitment and emotional investment that happens when you create something that is very near and dear to you, and when that is torn asunder by sociopaths who don’t give a s*** about your feelings or the feelings of your cast and crew because they have their own reasons to screw everybody, that doesn’t feel good.”

It's too bad what happened to him but the show is good without him

some might even say...better

 

[jacobed]

I would say better. He is responsible for one of the best pilots ever and season 1 was pretty great but end of season 2, and season 3 have been really great.

All due respect to the showrunners, but isn't it kinda weird to be presenting the Governor in such a positive light? I mean, defeats the purpose of adapting the character if the adaptation is nothing like him.

 

[Man in the Suit]

I think the show's Governor is better than the comic's.

I don't think we're supposed to like the guy. (Look at the stuff n thaaangs he did!) The theme of this season is "Can we come back from the things we've done?" and we're seeing if someone like him can.

 

[Sawyer]

I recall reading something that David Morrisey said, as well as Robert Kirkman in that Inside the Episode video, that the Gov's story in these episodes is more novel-based than comic-based. I have yet to read the novels, but I'm assuming that the character was somewhat more sympathetic there than the fully-formed dirtbag from the comics.

 

[Teelie]

I think someone like the Governor can be the evil monster we see and be the compassionate, caring man he is towards the women and girl right now.

It's too easy to just simplify a person into one thing or another and fail to see how complicated people really are. He's got a psychotic streak in him for sure, I think everyone has something wrong with them in a world where zombies are real but it doesn't mean the man is uncaring or unredeemable.

Have you forgotten Andrea? They aint scared to change a character.

I'm fine with them trying to make the Gov. a little sympathetic though I don't need another entire episode centered around him.

 

[chamber-music]

I don't see the problem with giving the Governor depth. It would be boring if he was just a remorseless generic evil villain every week.

I think its even more frightening because he can be a nice charming caring guy one minute and then snap into a dangerous homicidal calculating murder the next.
