Haven't watched it but it was on my twitter feed and, as chance would have it, I'm currently rereading the comics (generally fantastic but the odd missed opportunity becomes apparent) and was just at a Governor flashback point when I saw what this episode was and, yes, it is a total waste of space. Once you accept that a character has returned and in the form they have returned in, if they are changed or have learned new skills, it becomes completely pointless showing how the character got there because it stalls the story. You spend time getting back to the exact same point you were at before.
The only way I think it could have any value is if it makes you completely see their return in a different light and yet I can't think of a single example of that happening. It's treading water and that was something this show did far too often, hence me no longer watching it.
