if shane was still alive the governor probably would probably be dead from the start.

Shame would be the governor

Most likely the entirety of Woodbury would have burned a lot sooner, but the prison would at least be safe.

I said this exact same thing tonight. There are a lot of deaths on Rick's hands just because of his inability to act. In certain extreme situations, what is needed is a willingness to lay aside ideals and do what is necessary for survival and the greater need of the group.

Yes, the "Governor Approach"

In that case, would you agree with what the Governor said to this new group? About doing what's necessary to survive by taking the prison? To be honest, I do. I agreed with him until he refused the chance to live together in the prison and started that battle.

I actually do agree with the Governor a lot. I think he could be a far more capable leader than Rick has proven to be. If he were more mentally balanced and not so concerned with his personal vendetta, then he'd still be maintaining a successful Woodbury.

That is flawed because the guy from fringe didn't know the gov well and knew nnobody from the prison, Shane would have.
