Do you guys seriously not get that there is a level of suspension of disbelief that any show cannot exceed? It's not like, "oh here's something that couldn't happen, therefore anything else in the show that they do is fair game and you can't complain about it being absurd".
Let's say that instead of Morgan breaking Darryl and Aaron out of the car, the horde of zombies was suddenly immolated by Danerys Targaryen riding a dragon. Is your reaction, "well, there are zombies and that's pretty silly, so dragons are also fine".
Everyone has a tolerance for this stuff where if you go beyond it, it throws you right out of the fantasy world that the show has created. The boundaries of reality that it sets that you agree to use as the new normal for the purposes of enjoying the show. It's not a license to do ANYTHING while being able to count on the credulity of the audience. There are limits, and they're different for different viewers.
Here's a perfect example of what I'm talking about. No one thinks there are elves, orcs, balrogs, wizards and dragons, but we take those things as read to enjoy Tolkein's world. But then you see a scene like this:
And your reaction is, or at least mine is, "Yeah guys. I'm sure that barrel just bounces perfectly like that. What the f*** ever."
