[Heel n Toe]

I pretty much try to just go along for the ride on this show... and others... while not looking for flaws, but I thought it was unrealistic that Rick's face off with that guy followed by that machete chop which took a full second in "windup" and execution could have occurred.

I believe that guy's spidey sense would have been extremely on edge and elevated and he would have been able to get that weapon he was holding up and block that chop because he would have expected it at that point. He knew Rick would be pissed about the zombie fling as well as that wild roundhouse swing that almost hit Rick during the zombie killfest.

I think it would have been much more realistic for Rick to stare at him like he did for a few seconds, then step back half a step and say, "Daryl?" ...then zzzzzzzzip, the guy takes an arrow through the coconut since earlier they had discussed how they needed to watch the guy and Daryl had told Rick "just give me the word."

It would've also been more realistic for Rick or Daryl to take that other guy out or at least wing him before he ran away. For Rick to volunteer to chase him down through those hallways alone was very risky. He/they could have run into another whole pack of zombies and gotten overrun.

But hey, it's a great show... stuff like this doesn't diminish my enjoyment of it at all. I didn't even think of these two until later.
