I disagree with anon that Andrea's death was Michonne's fault but at the same time, I can totally understand why Andrea wanted to stay in Woodbury. The Governor seemed like a pretty swell, charming dude to begin with - we knew he wasn't because we had an outsider's perspective but. I can understand why Andrea wanted to stay there even though Michonne was telling her they should leave (and to be honest, Michonne didn't really do herself any favors being so uncommunicative about it).

I think Andrea's problem was that she tried too hard for too long to make things better and by the time she realized she couldn't, it was too damn late. But I hate the way she went out. It was pretty clear the showrunners were like "WELP WHAT DO WE DO WITH HER NOW???" and couldn't come up with any ideas. :\

Yeah, she totally didn't deserve to go out the way she did, but she irritated me from season two onward, so i was just exasperated with her completely by the time we get to Woodbury.

I guess, in a zombie apocalypse, my first impulse would be to stay *away* from places like that, because tin-pot dictators like the Governor are way more likely than not. She should have left the night she saw the 'zombie fight' crap going on in the arena. I sure as hell would have.

Yea, I'm with you; Andrea wasn't my favorite and she def made some stupid decisions, but I can understand a lot of them from her perspective. (Like you said, staying in Woodbury. Me, I'm paranoid. My first thought would be, "Is this person going to turn batshit? How are they maintaining this?" but still, she was in the zombie apocalypse and came across this nice town with running water, and lots of food, and plenty of survivors, and even if that is sort of suspicious at that point wouldn't you want to believe that things weren't too good to be true? Maybe it wouldn't be smart to take everything at face value or not listen to Michonne, but I sort of get it. (Again, like you said, Michonne wasn't willing to discuss it with her at length and gave her an ultimatum pretty quickly.)

(Though admittedly by the time Andrea found out Gov kept his dead daughter and had a zombie aquarium she should've shanked him. Not a great decision.)

But Andrea could've turned things around I think, if only the showrunners would have let her. IMO she was just too unpopular by that point and they didn't want to bother with her storyline anymore.

Yeah, they really screwed her up, because i liked her in the first season, mostly, but then she just...meh.

I'm way too paranoid to want to be around large, armed groups that *take away your weapons*, so...i just could not have ever joined Woodbury.

Well, in a world like that not many people would trust some stranger with weapons around their group (And possibly families), but it goes both ways; giving up your weapons to a stranger would be pretty dumb. You have to trust someone else with your life, and that is NOT the way to survive in that world.

Exactly. Not only are you trusting people you just met (hell no!) but you now have *no weapon* if a zombie pack *does* break through.

Totally not on.

Yea, I have trust issues in THIS universe, if I were in that one I would certainly expect the worst of everyone. Plus, even people who were previously okay tend to come unhinged in desperate conditions like that, so trusting easily isn't good for your health.

And like you say, even if the people you meet aren't batshit, if they're attacked and overrun and you don't have anything to protect yourself with you're screwed.

She should have listened to Carol and cut his throat in bed. She could have been a serious hero if she had.

MTE, I really wish she had went through with it. It would've been better for everyone... Except of course Gov himself, but fuck Gov. A lot of folks could've been saved that way. (Well, at least from Gov. Knowing the Walking Dead universe they still would've found ways to die.)
