She's too much of an idiot to pull that off.
Her character has always been a second-guessing half-wit. Assassins are confident and calculated. Andrea is the antithesis of this. Andrea is a fucktard who is still trying to recreate the former world so she can have the life she use to have. She's constantly questioning not only her own decisions but everyone elses and has the worst judgement on earth.
Now don't get me wrong. I'm by no means a woman hater. Michonne or Maggie could totally kill that douche nozzle --- extremely different characters.
Every single episode I say a fanciful little blessing that this will be the show that andrea gets ripped apart and eaten by ravenous zombies. Alas, I am always disappointed.
Now that being said, Andrea is not the reason I posted on this thread today.
Don't you think that the writers of the show should've paid more attention to the plausibility factor.
Here's my minor beef (keeping in mind that I do LOVE this series):
We've been told that the Governor has only about 35 people to use in his "army." We've already been shown that over half of those are untrained civilians, most of whom have never even shot a gun before. It's not plausible that he's going to convince regular people to take up arms and not only leave a safe, protected environment for zombie land, but also kill living men and women. I just don't buy it. I think that less than half of that 35 would agree to it and maybe only 1/3 of those would be any good in a real fire-fight. Especially when this little army realizes that they have a baby with them. Know what I mean?
I can overlook the plausibility of zombies, but I just don't think that the Governor would be any where near that dangerous a man in reality. Where does his experience come from? How is he going to get those people motivated? Most of them are mere acquaintances, not friends and family. Also, this business about Rick's group being trapped with nowhere to go? Bull shit. They are constantly in and out of the prison despite the "threat of walkers" keeping them all in the same 10 square miles. They could get in a few vehicles, pick a direction and go. Their options are not as bleak as the writers want us to believe.
Anyway, these are some of the issues I have with plausibility.
