The Walking Dead: Arrow on the Doorpost (2013)
Season 3, Episode 13
6/10
The Boring Negotiation
12 March 2013
Rick goes with Darryl and Hershel to meet the Governor to negotiate a peace treaty in a meeting scheduled by Andrea. The Governor arrives and Andrea, Milton and Caesar wait outside with Daryl and Hershel. After the initial friction, Milton and Hershel and Daryl and Caesar start amicable conversation. While Rick proposes a border between the two groups, the Governor requests that Rick delivers Michonne to him to avoid the war between them. Meanwhile, in the prison, Merle wants to attack and kill the Governor, but Glenn, Maggie and Michonne vanquish him. Rick and the Governor schedule an other meeting in two days, but the Governor's real intention is to betray Rick and kill him.

"Arrow on the Doorpost" is an episode with a boring negotiation that goes nowhere, postponing the war between the two groups again. The experienced Rick is too naive in the negotiation, listening to the unconvincing Governor. Rick should have put a bullet in the head of the Governor when he threatened his daughter and his son, instead of considering the alternative of betraying Michonne. This is not the position of a leader. There are only three additional episodes and then the show will be interrupted. I hope that the situation between Rick and the Governor be resolved before this long intermission. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Arrow on the Doorpost"
