I am a fan of TWD, but I have issues other than the authors. What really bugs me is Daryl and crew surrendering weakly to some guys standing in front of parked motorcycles while they are driving a tanker truck and are armed with a rifle and RPG. Daryl was at Terminus yet he will still surrender to an unknown group.
That's pretty easy to explain. The guys on the cycles are armed with rifles and shotguns, Daryl and his crew are in the cab of a truck and have been forced to come to a stop.
In order to access the armaments in the back of the truck they have to exit the cab.
If they choose to try to run thru the gauntlet of motorcycles, the armed guys will simply step back and away and let the truck disable itself on the motorcycles since there is no way any truck can drive over those cycles without damaging the front end and becoming completely disabled.
Sometimes the most obvious answer is the easiest to ignore............
Keep in mind that Daryl is driving a FUEL truck. And it’s not like Abraham has the RPG all ready to go - it’s not even in his hands.
