And Walker Merle just a bonus!

You are right. In of itself, the scene was realistic (but can you bite someones fingers clean off?). The problem is that the show otherwise consistently makes us think some characters are invincible. If the governor gets shot by a stray bullet in the upcoming war, it too would be realistic, but would it be satisfying?
I would think most people would want a more significant, personal ending to Merle, a character who has been around a long time, and cut off his own freakin hand to survive. I also think his personality conflicts and the relationship with his brother and everyone else was one of the more intriguing wild cards of the series.
