Another indicator that he'll likely die in 408 is the pace of this season. None of the threats to the prison group seem to last more than a few episodes.
If the prison battle brings that 7500 walker herd to the prison, the back half could be the group on the road encountering new threats (road to dc for cure, hunters, etc.) every few episodes.

Imagine a group of a hundred motorcycles driving down a freeway. Eventually, they hit a junction. One road goes northwest and the other goes northeast. So one guy, we'll call him S, says, "Let's go northwest!" A mile past the intersection, a semi careens into the group and kills ninety of them. Ten are wounded, but they survive and keep going. Eventually, they hit 10,000 miles. S suddenly has his consciousness thrown into his past body right before the junction. Now, he says, "Let's go northeast!" All 100 bikers survive. Happily ever after, right? But what about the ten, no nine, who went northwest and survived? What happens to the reality they were living? Does it just disappear now that S has changed the past? It's not like only bad things happened on that 10,000 mile journey. Maybe one of them fell in love with a gas station attendant and got her pregnant or maybe one adopted a homeless kid that joined the adventure. That 10,000 mile journey would be full of stories. Romances, farewells, friendships...the loss of those ninety lives is horrible and unfortunate, but what would rewriting their history mean? The nine who survived lived full lives and did the best they could with the hand they were dealt. How could it be right to just erase all that? Isn't that worth something? Is there a point to a world where everything is happy? Are people who struggle for a better life just idiots? Being human is about fighting even when it seems hopeless and finding happiness in a world that hates it. Are you saying that's worthless?

He was a good character, though...this! It's a Ben Linus situation. They like the actor too much to put a bullet in his head!

See, the Governor is no where near as interesting as Ben Linus was though. At least in my opinion. I really hope he's killed off here soon. I want it to be well done, but soon, nonetheless. Cake and eat it too.
Ben Linus was a giant roller coaster, which is what made him interesting to me. One second you thought "oh maybe he's not that bad" and then he was 10 times worse, and then in the end he kind of redeemed himself.
With the Governor it's just a straight shoot of evil.

Pretty much my sentiment, too. He'll do something to majorly F up their situation at Camp Prison for the midseason finale, the second half of this season will deal with the ramifications of this and their attempts to salvage their refuge, and he'll finally bite it towards the end of this season, (I voted episode 16 but could see it being 14 or 15, too) with his shenanigans being the catalyst that leads to them being forced to abandon the prison and hit the open road again. Season 5 opens with them on the road/run again, looking for a new home.For me it'd seem too rushed for the mid-season finale...
