The Governor returned to "The Walking Dead" last week, but he didn't really return until this Sunday night's episode, "Dead Weight". What I mean by that is that the Governor we saw last week was a shell of himself, shuffling around with his big hair and unkempt beard, brushing zombies aside instead of dispatching them. The Governor we saw this week was the genuine article: salt and pepper stubble, all dressed in black, identifying threats to the survival of him and those he chooses to protect and eliminating them with great prejudice. Yes, things are starting to get interesting again on "The Walking Dead." In addition to the reemergence of the Governor character, we got to meet a handul of new characters in this episode - most notably Mitch and Pete - and we were reintroduced to Martinez. And there were a few cool zombie novelties.
