Andrea not knifing the gov was a sad moment for me. I always thought of her character as being a tough bitch, but one who would do right in the end. The writers ruined her for me with that scene. No matter what direction they point her in the future, I will not be able to buy into it. I like the actress, but I don't care about Andrea anymore.

TV Andrea is not comic book Andrea.Comic book Andrea was a certified badass. TV Andrea is Lori 2.0

I'm thinking that Kirkman might be to blame for some of this
( AMC suits too )

If I was an AMC suit, I'd tell Kirkman that it's all on him. If you like the money we are paying you, then you are now the man. Add showrunner and line producer to your executive producer and writer titles, heck you just go ahead and direct the episodes too. Lets see if you can be a Joss Whedon type and wear that many hats (and hire the right people to help you) and produce just one good show, let alone three like Whedon did with Buffy, Angel and Firefly all at once. He'd sink so fast the Titanic would seem like it was still afloat.

Not to be all "Joss is a god" but compared to Kirkman ?
No contest Joss is superior in nearly every shape way and form .

( tv ratings notwithstanding - WD is a cable beast that only Buffy , Angel , Echo and Mal can only dream of )

I still think there's lots of room for Andrea to be redeemed , we all know that there was no way she was going to kill the Governor .
I kinda expected the last scene to be the Governor snatching her blade out of her hand .....

I think that was the point Spooky was making. If anything, I think Kirkman is throwing around enough weight to screw things up without taking any responsibility for doing so.

This. The showrunners and writers who have lost their jobs are proven professional TV people. They know how to tell stories on TV and they were doing a good job. They seem to have run into a wall when voicing their ideas on what would be good for the show and that wall seems to be the ego of Kirkman. I would not be surprised in there are suits at AMC who wish the deal they made with Kirkman was strictly as a consulting resource for the writers/showrunner.

This will probably be the crux of the first half of the fourth season. They will sit around and talk about Andrea being redeemed and on occasion reference walkers they claimed to have killed during the commercial breaks.
