I read the comics when they came out, so it's been a minute. That's why I was asking and more talking about how I remember the story going.

As I remembered, by around this point in the story they've seen enough and people have died so he could be aware. He said he was listening to the coverage. I'm sure people died and turned around that time and would be mentioned.

No one's tripping off anything. I don't expect a character like the Governor to be in episode 7. I'm saying that at the pace the show is going, and the way it's being presented I really can't see them developing a word where darker storylines are even understandable.

I'm not hoping that they'll make the show exactly like the book. It's just that the show's story is not developing too well. If you're going to make a story about people do whatever to survive, then put them in a world where that is supported.
