Adding to this, the trinity on the sword has huge meaning.

It's the symbol for biohazard subtly, which is an evolution of its meaning - but moreso it's the holy trinity. The father, the son and the holy ghost. Michonne's character is all about spiritualism and the sword is the physical embodiment of that belief.

I'm gonna get into religion here - but TWD is all about "history" and while I'm gonna focus on the historically religious context here, I'm in no way religious or trying to push some propaganda, just referencing the symbology.

It's easy to think that sword is a lens simply for christianity, but that symbology transcends multiple religions including Judaism, Christianity and Islamic religions. But his name, "The Governor" references back to city states and is a religious allegory of the time period where religions were clashing. This was most famously the disputes of Christianity and Judaism - and namely, the rebirth of Christ.

The point of contention was always the rebirth - and the Governor does not believe in rebirth, he does not believe people can be reborn. Not himself, not his daughter, and not woodbury. To him Woodbury was a sacred place and could not be replaced (likely a reference to Jerusalem).

Dialing this back in to something more palettable - Michonne chooses to become romantic with Rick and mothers carl. The father, the son, and the holy ghost. This evolves constantly but Michonne is always flanked by three's - when you first meet her, she's flanked by two others. When she confronts the governor there's a father, a daughter, and Michonne. She hangs out with Andrea - who is haunted by the death of her sister. Almost always a trinity, save for when Rick is missing - and why she's going crazy to find him.

Coming back to this, the death of Herschel is symbolic of the death of the enlightenment period, the death of religious understanding and science. He's beheaded for what he preaches. Rick is preaching it but it's Herschel's words. The Governor doesn't believe in change, he hides behind religion - in his case like harkening back to old testament justice. That's what they're really arguing about - the old testament vs. the new testament, a conflict which claimed many lives across the entire globe... and the texts were misused, weaponized and ultimately led to death and destruction.

Its evolution into the biohazard symbol is to show that with intellectualism (eugene) we essentially failed this same thing, which started the whole apocalypse. We didn't heed the warnings of these texts and while biology is far more deadly than a sword - philosophically it's just as crude when mishandled.

The Governor using this weapon and doing so clumsily means he fundamentally doesn't understand the weapon - or why his daughter had to die. His belief that rebirth is impossible (change) is what's hanging this all up.

Now, again, restating I have no religious belief's whatsoever - I'm just talking about the texts in historical context... and the symbology of the holy trinity used on the blade.

The fact that there's a blade attached to such a symbol really showcases the hypocrisy of it - who puts an eastern blade with a symbol of the holy trinity on it?

Michonne picks up this weapon and uses it to kill the dead and emancipate herself, but its existence is by all means silly. It's also a katana, which is Japanese... and christianity was abhorred there for many years... but oddly... christianity evolved in Japan due to the popularity of weddings after they opened their borders. The duality of it being used to kill whilst someone is offering to open their own borders to the prison is staggeringly coincidental.

Shinto and Buddhist families often do "non-religious" christian weddings in modern day, symbolizing somewhat this acceptance of other culture's, as Buddhism and Shintoism are religions of tolerance. But this is to show somewhat the eastern reference to buddhist and shinto religions, and further cement Michonne's spiritualism.

And how those religions have been misused to kill, sloppily.

I'm just scratching the surface but TWD's historical references are amazing. The Commonwealth is the French Revolution, Daryl is Civil Liberty, and Carol is the rise of feminism (and militant feminism)... the symbology in this show is amazing. Rick's hat bears the star of david, or the symbol of justice (which is why he's constantly forming new governments to guide his people and uses a revolver with six-shots, to remind him of that). It goes on and on. You can equate world history to every episode and every character in the walking dead. Negan is nationalism (after an evolution from something like the knights templar), Ezekial is arthurian stoicism (the tiger is the symbol of the lion) which evolves into equality (round table), and on and on. Whoever wears the hat with the six sided star is the hand of justice - Carl inherits this as does Judith. American's typically use a 5 sided star, the 6 sided star is an older reference going as far back as Hammurabi and the growth of civilization.

It's kind of contemptuous to talk about religious so casually, so if anyone was offended - I'm merely scraping the surface of the historical context around that symbol, not actual religious groups beliefs. That gets complicated and I'm not talking about actual spirituality - just a brisk survey of what amounts to thousands of religions within the spectrum (there's really that many).

It goes pretty far down the rabbit hole, this is just the beginning.

Something that made Andrew Lincoln’s performance in this scene so memorable is you can actually hear and feel the purity and sincerity in his voice as he tries to reason with The Governor. Rick gained his humanity back after spending so much time in the prison, that he truly believed he could change The Governor and his men. He took what the women who said “you don’t get to come back” to heart, because he saw that humanity had lost any sense of morality and done the worst things just to stay alive, killing, hurting, and so much worse. But still, he tried to be reasonable, he tried to talk to them, and it looked like he actually got through to a lot of The Governor’s people, given the fact that they hesitated with their rationale of taking the prison for themselves, knowing that they could live together in the prison.

@Anon this was the turning point in Ricks character. This is the second to last time Rick was the good guy(not saying he’s evil but def not a good person) until many years later when he’s a old man. This is when the apocalypse finally broke his pre pandemic mindset and he fully embraced the Shane side of himself

Edit: it’s also the last time he ever really loses a hand to hand fight, because he has nothing holding him back, he doesn’t try to reason with anyone, only to survive, so he uses every dirty trick he’s got

This was the BEST scene in the ENTIRE SHOW, in my opinion. Hell, probably the best episode.

I was on the EDGE OF MY SEAT during this entire confrontation and when Herschel’s execution finally HAPPENS, it BROKE me.

Charles Jenkins

2y↑384

To my view, the katana actually represents the Governor at the "knife's edge" of decision about not only the fate of their two groups, but his very soul. He isn't thinking about anger, he's thinking about who he is, and who he can be. His response was "liar", and ok sure that could be about Rick's offer, but really I think its in response to the last line of Rick's speech. "I know...that all of us...can change". The Governor decides he cannot change, he's the past the point of changing - which remember was his whole arc that season, his attempt to change, and he gives up on himself, and in so doing dooms his group (and most of the prison group too).

Jack Craven

2y↑15

I can see that he even said to Herschel that he wanted to avoid killing Rick's group if possible but was willing too kill them

SaddenedSoul

2y↑27

Yes--because to admit Rick was right was to admit his monstrous philosophy was flawed from the beginning. Rather than look at himself for what he was and make positive change, the Governor turned away and forced the fight.

It's literally crazy how much Hershel had a impact on the early seasons. Hershel always said to other people that "I'm not in charge, you'll have to speak to Rick" But whenever Rick is making a bad choice, Hershel is there to correct him, and tell him what to do. LMFOAHSSH I literally miss Hershel so much bro

I changed my username because it offended people

1y↑17

The governor really made the group become more ruthless and even more strict when meeting outsiders. The governor was a pretty good villain. Rick’s innocence and cop nature was gone after Hershel’s death and the prison attack. Season 3&4 were great imo. Those seasons fully shifted the characters to becoming hardened survivors. Also season 3 and early season 4 Rick had the best look imo.

Brennan Longboat

2y↑14

The early seasons of the walking dead had such a difference in vibe it was a completely different era for the show, one I frankly miss a lot. it almost reminds of the summer time of when I was a kid and now that we're year and years after Rick leaving it makes the early seasons re-watchable because it owns this real life idea that times change and all you'll have is memories to look back on and those memories of the earlier seasons start to sneak in to the thoughts of you while watching past season 9 but yet at the same time the show still moved forward and had good plots and character developments making the present worth living but also making the past seem like a time we left behind.

It was when the writing was at its finest, the characters were invested in and fresh, its best arc (Prison/war with the Governor) was about to end, and the show hadn't settled into a tired survival cycle it later struggled and slogged into. TWD was a show in very gradual decline. It was not a fast descent. But this is the era and the scene that easily identifies the peak of the show's lifespan overall when I reflect on the best times.

The governor was and still is the best villain the show has had. He was scary af cause he was to far gone even before Rick and the group arrived at the prison.

Poor Herschel he didn’t deserve that and he was the one of the only people that kept the moral boundaries in the group and yet you stayed strong till the end

Scott Wilson said in an interview that the director wanted him to smile at Rick when Rick tried to get the Governor’s people to join them. It was to show that Herschel taught Rick the importance of showing kindness and mercy...and that they would be okay and go on even if he died.

it makes me so sad, on top of how sad it is already, that Maggie and Beth had to see that, man. I remember first watching this with my mom, I SCREAMED. she told me to be careful the neighbors didn't think I was being murdered or something, lol. :,) still makes me tear up.

The Governor was one more character that I had a hard time believing in. Not sure if it was his acting or the dumb things he had to say or do as per the show’s writers. Aside from that, it was sad to see that good man, Hershel, killed. His character evolved greatly, and he was an awesome character. RIP.

I like how in the comics a lot of the first parts and middle parts were tedious and the whisperer war and saviors were amazing (prison stuff was still amazing) but in the show the opposite is true so everything gets time to shine

Ricks "Nooooo!!!!" And Daryls grunt, as well as Maggies scream hurt. EDIT: This may not be the case, but Carl closes one of his eyes as soon as the Governer killed Hershel. He aimed so fast and never hesitated...

The cinematography here was just top notch. The way they pan away while he drops the sword, the slight doubt on the actor”s face. The quick cut (no pun intended) when he cuts Herschel... the last few seasons haven’t had this as well as the earlier seasons. Such a shame.

Yeah, this shocked me when I first saw it. Those first few seasons of WD were ruthless. I felt like anybody could die at any moment. Loved this show and watched it every Sunday night until they pulled that Glenn foolishness, could never get back into it after that.

I actually think his American accents is one of the worse ones.

His smile was Hershel’s way of getting his last words of pride out to Rick. Hershel knew he was going to die so he wanted to let Rick know he was proud.

Personally this was the saddest death for me, he was my favorite character and had such amazing growth in just two seasons. Watching him try to crawl away and the Governor just hacking the rest of his head off made me sick.

And everyone did change that day, Rick already had his Breakdown and was starting to come back, this literally broke him, it would completely change him for the next few seasons, I still think a moment that really broke Rick was when he bit the neck off of that guys group trying to molest his son but this was def the beginning. He already lost his wife and was trying to cope with this world but hershels words being him back. If only govener just put his guns down what woulda changed? Who knows

Hershel smiling because he knows whatever happens, he is going to be okay in the end. He chose Good, not Evil.

That and he was VERY proud and happy that he helped convince Rick to come back to the light, in a world of darkness.

I could totally see Rick saying "If we don't live together, we're gonna die alone." I swear Rick and Jack from Lost are such similar characters, and it's cool to see some little inspirations from other shows in this scene.

One of the greatest TWD scenes (and episodes) of all time

Konami Codex

This was exactly where the show went from being about storytelling,atmosphere, suspense and the walkers being a clear and present threat....to it being about violence...gore and the walkers just being part of the backdrop until it was time for a beloved character to be killed off...

That has gotta be the most heartfelt speech Rick has given. It really seemed to get to most of the people outside the fence except for the governor.

This was the first death where I actually mourned a character, I was too young to figure out what it was then but I was like damn, this guy's been here forever now his characters gone, it was trippy, RIP Scott Wilson

dalton

Tara becomes one of my favorites despite her hypocrisy when it came to Dwight. Tara was let into the group after this, but couldn't see Dwight being with them. Tries to kill him which was wrong.

Her death along with Enid's death though, killed me so badly.

Obsidiok

This is still the saddest death in the show to me. Hershel really reminded me of my grandfather.

I remember being on the edge of my seat when this episode dropped, and most of the episodes that came out in the early seasons for that matter. Waiting until Sunday to see the next episode was awesome, I almost miss waiting for a TV to drop another episode instead of getting the entire season to binge first go (Not during COVID ofc lol)

Anthony Spitery

The governor is such a complex character when you really think about it. He always thinks carefully, and knows a part of him is capable of redemption, but never accepts it. I think earlier in season 4 when he was with the guys and Martinez, he came across some beheaded corpses, where one said “rapist” and the other said “liar”. Seeing that reinforced his belief that once you’re a killer, you can’t come back from it. So he called Hershel a liar, as Hershel’s teachings passed on to Rick—but Rick had to let it go once he killed Hershel. Very deep symbolism in the first half of TWD, and I really miss that
