The Walking Dead: 10 Greatest Rick Grimes Moments

6. Killing Tomas - Sick

That picture above is a mere second away from Rick Grimes showing us his true colours.

Flying out of the Season 2 finale, in which Rick informed the group he was firmly in charge, they made their way to the nearby prison. Upon entering they met a group of prisoners, enjoying the safety of the reinforced walls. Rick and the criminals made their way around the prison, clearing out remaining zombies to secure the facility. The leader of the criminals, Tomas, was constantly disrespectful to Rick and the two eventually came face to face.

At this juncture in the show, we fully expected Rick and Tomas to go back and forth for the majority of the season, until one killed the other. In a shocking turn though, Rick wedged a machete in Tomas' head! It was an incredible moment as Rick fully established himself as being accustomed to the new world, unwilling to take any BS. He'd dealt with enough of Tomas' type already, and he nipped that one in the bud. It was awesome.
