Sunday Night TV (and TWD Nitpicks)

sharelleI enjoyed both the season finale of The Walking Dead and the season premiere of Game of Thrones last night. I'll be looking forward to having much more to say about GoT once the season really gets underway.
I did have two minor quibbles about Walking Dead though...
Firstly, why on earth would Rick and the prison-dwellers cart the remaining Woodburians up in a school bus and ship everyone back to the prison instead of just moving into Woodbury? Really? The prison? With its endless, uncomfortable concrete? And it's questionable fortification that still seems to be letting random walkers into the basement? And the recently demolished fence and exploded guard towers? You brought everyone over to the prison rather than just moving into a place that has individual dwellings and tested, defensible barricades and probably loads more stockpiled food, water, and weapons?
I mean, the Governor hightailed it. So why not move into the more comfortable and better-stocked location instead?
Unless, of course, there's a worry that the Governor knows some secret way back inside to gun them all down in their sleep.
Which brings me to number 2... The Governor, himself.
So he threw any potential shades of grey right out the window and conveniently morphed into a full-fledged, moustache-twirling villain. Then, after mowing down (almost) everybody in his group, he just took off with his two remaining lackeys and went . . . where, exactly? Originally I had just assumed he'd gone back to Woodbury to preach about how the Evil Prison-Dwellers completely decimated his peace-loving posse. But he didn't. When Rick and the others got to Woodbury, the Governor was still gone. That seemed really odd, and unlike him.
On an unrelated note, Milton was growing on me.
ETA: Huh. Seems my LJ's default mood went right to "blah." I know social media can pinpoint our locations now when we're posting, but are they assuming to know our feelings too? :P
