![Unholy religious exemptions [Commentary]](/pb/resources/images/tinygif.gif?v=302)

- Whoa! There is a ton of heavy stuff to discuss from Sunday night's midseason finale of "The Walking Dead" on AMC, but first, a serious question: Is the Governor really dead? I know that we saw him get stabbed through the center of the back and chest with Michonne's Shinobi sword, and then we saw Lilly stand over him and fire her gun in the direction of his head. But we never actually saw him die. I've learned that in shows like these - "The Walking Dead", "Magnum, P.I.", "Legends of the Hidden Temple" - that a character isn't actually dead and gone until we see their rotten, decomposing carcass. I know that "Talking Dead" included the Governor in their "In Memoriam" segment, but that could just be misdirection. After all, "Talking Dead" is there to promote "The Walking Dead" and its storylines, and we were clearly meant to assume that the Governor had passed. Ditto for Judith, though that was a little more ambiguous and she was not included "In Memoriam".
