It seemed like the moment may have come Sunday night, when Rick, Glenn and Hershel met two strangers in a bar, Dave and Tony.
At least, "Walking Dead" creator Robert Kirkman wanted you to think one of the pair might have been The Governor. (Kirkman writes for the show as well as writing the comics.)
"I feel like when you're watching that scene, the way Dave is friendly and manipulative, and comes in, and is this clear threat … If you've read the comic book series, you're going to think that that guy is going to be the Governor," Kirkman told TheWrap.

Check out a preview of next week's episode, "Triggerfinger," which shows that Rick's wife survived the crash — but not without a ravenous complication:
