Yeah, I know they had an ambush position. But anyone not strictly suicidal would have subtly signalled for the ambush to start - and most certainly wouldn't pull a handgun and fire a single shot into a crowd of armed soldiers facing him. Way too risky. Well, at least that's my opinion.

But he's The Governor!

That's the thing. Unless I missed something, they show him executing an elaborate plan where he picks up animal carcasses and stealthily lures zombies into their cell block.

I didn't see anything particularly elaborate about his plan. It's obvious the walkers go after any kind of fresh meat, and he simply used that to bring them into the prison. He didn't seem like the type of guy that would think much further ahead than that.

I think a better question is how did he catch and kill a deer with an axe.

Still, it's just a TV show - and the extreme focus on gore tells me I'm not really the target audience. I'm much more into psychological horror and less extreme scenarios. That whole Woodbury town is just another example of going too far with an idea. I mean, ok, we don't know what would happen under these conditions - but that felt like an episode from Star Trek more than anything.

In fairness, it's a show about corpses rising from the dead and eating people. I'm not sure how less extreme you were expecting it to be.
