In Woodbury, The Governor is talking to Andrea and he tells her that he isn't fit to be the leader anymore and that he thinks that she should take over from him.

Another great episode. I am loving the evil Governor and it is good for Rick and the others to have an enemy to fight besides the walkers. It makes everything more interesting!!!

Blue Steel is a 1989 thriller directed by Kathryn Bigelow and starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Ron Silver.
Curtis stars as new cop Megan Turner. She is on patrol when she sees some guy robbing a supermarket. She gets out her gun and she tries to arrest him but he ignores her so she shoots him dead when he points his gun at her. She is disciplined for this by her bosses because the robbers gun was not found. It has been taken by a guy called Eugene Hunt(Silver) who was in the supermarket at the time and saw what Megan did. He is a psychopath and he goes around shooting people for no reason. He manages to meet Megan and they begin a relationship. Megan is unaware that he is a nut job.
Bodies begin to turn up around the city and the cops find a bullet with Megan Turner etched into it. They think that someone is obsessed with her and that she is in danger. They have to take her back into the force for her own protection. She begins to realise that Eugene isn't all there and he scares her with his weirdness. She figures out that it is him who is the killer and she tries to tell her colleagues. Her co worker, Detective Mann(Clancy Brown) does believe her and she tries to get Eugene arrested but he has a good lawyer and he comes out looking better than she does. He kills her best friend and he stalks her but she can't get him. She and Mann are on his case and they begin to become close.
Megan tries to get Hunt on her own but he is elusive. He tries to kill Mann but Megan saves him but shooting Hunt in the shoulder. She chases him but loses him. Hunt becomes more and more deranged and hears voices in his head. Mann and Megan sleep together but Hunt turns up and he shoots Mann.
He tries to kill Megan but he can't and he flees. Mann is taken to hospital. Megan goes back on the job and she finds Hunt. She shoots him but doesn't kill him. They chase each other and she gets shot too.
Finally she kills him and puts him out of his misery.
This was a good thriller with a good cast. It wasn't brilliant, but it was entertaining and I liked the leads.
I will give it a 6/10.
Maniac Cop 2 is a 1990 horror sequel directed by William Lustig and starring Bruce Campbell and Robert Davi.
The movie continues on from the first one. Maniac Cop Matthew Cordell(Robert Z'Dar) plunges into the river in a truck and he is assumed dead(of course, we know that he isn't!). He still stalks the streets killing again. Officer Mallory(Laurene Landon) and her partner Officer Forrest(Campbell) are cleared of all charges. They both tell the Police Commissioner Doyle(Michael Lerner) that Cordell is still alive. He insists that they both see police psychiatrist Officer Riley(Claudia Christian) for evaluation. They both tell her that they saw Cordell and that he isn't dead. Another cop called McKinney(Davi) is seeing her too because of the death of his partner.
Forrest is killed by Maniac cop and Mallory knows that it was him. She is very upset as nobody believes her. McKinney is investigating the case. He thinks that maybe Mallory killed him. Commissioner Doyle doesn't want Mallory going public about Cordell. Officer Riley begins to wonder if Mallory is telling the truth. Cordell is spotted around the city and the cops find out that there is some huge cop going around killing people. McKinney suggests to Doyle that maybe it is Cordell. Mallory is going on a TV show to talk about Cordell. She and Riley are going to the show together when they are chased down by Maniac Cop and he kills Mallory. Riley escapes and now she believes that Cordell has not been killed. He is back.
Reilly talks to McKinney about Maniac Cop and she tells him that she saw Cordell. She goes on TV with her theory but ends up looking crazy. Doyle is not happy with her and he wants her suspended. A killer called Steven Turkell(Leo Rossi) is on the prowl for victims when he comes upon Maniac Cop. He knows who he is and he approves of what he does. He gives him a place to stay and he thinks that they are best buddies! The cops go undercover to find the killer. They catch Turkell and stick him in jail. Maniac Cop comes for him and there is mayhem at the police station. He takes his new friend to Sing Sing where he was attacked and made into the man he is. He wants revenge for what happened to him.
He lets out all of the inmates and they take over the prison. Doyle has to admit that he was responsible for Cordell ending up in prison. Cordell attacks the guys who attacked him and he ends up being set on fire. They think he is dead, but you know he will be back! An average sequel. I will give it 5/10.
