The Walking Dead is the most popular cable series of all time. A horror and a thriller about a post-apocalyptic world over run by zombies taking place in Atlanta, Georgia. It is based off a comic book series by the same name. The series centers on a former police officer Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln). Who is both torn and strong, as he attempts to do all that is within his power to protect and lead his group of survivors in a very treacherous world.
10. Rick’s Speech
The Governor wants to take over the prison and wants revenge for Woodbury. He decides to use Hershel and Michonne as bargaining chips to try to persuade Rick and the rest of the group to leave the prison in order to save the lives of Hershel, Michonne, and themselves. He stands behind the gates with the two and his big tank as he threatens Rick. Rick attempts to plead and negotiate with The Governor but he refuses as he is relentless in his pursuit. Rick offers to even share the Prison with The Governor and his group, an admirable suggestion, but of course the self-centered narcissistic Governor refuses. Rick then speaks to all his people in hopes that they will leave The Governor and join him. Rick attempts to appeal to everyone’s emotions by telling them that we are not too far from the people we used to be.

9. The Governor vs. Michonne
Here we see a softer side of Michonne (at least for a moment) when she finds The Governor’s daughter Penny. Michonne hears Penny making noise and she opens the door to Penny’s chamber and finds that she is covered with a straightjacket. Michonne pulls the jacket off of Penny to find that she is in fact a walker. The Governor then finds himself on the scene and begs Michonne to have mercy on his daughter, and that she does not need to suffer. Michonne is perplexed and responds quickly and says that Penny has no needs. Michonne no longer compassionate takes her katana straight through Penny’s skull. The Governor seeing his daughter “killed” lunges at Michonne in a fit of rage, and as they struggle Michonne takes a piece of glass from the shattered fish tank and stabs The Governor in his eye.
