Still, tonight the show promises to take an even darker turn, as the series introduces one of the comic book's most infamous characters: The Governor, played here by David Morrissey. It's probably unnecessary to warn Walking Dead viewers to brace themselves, as by now anyone watching this violent fright-fest should be permanently braced.

We get to play with all those insecurities. The fact that Herman is in a constant state of decay and he's married to someone who doesn't age.
Everything is a metaphor for something that you can identify with in a relationship. For us, they're monsters outside and inside, and we get to double our story.
