You call that a beating? That wasn't a beating. A beating is what Glenn got from Merle. A beating is what Daryl gave Randall. What happened between the Governor and Michonne was a straight forward two-sided asswhooping (meaning, both sides whooping each other's asses equally, ending with Michonne getting the last lick in with the piece of glass before she could kill him).
When you're sword is knocked away and you have an enemy intending to kill you, you improvise with what you got.
Honestly, you consider that farfetched? Try Rick breaking every bone in his hand beating the psycho prisoner to near death, it healing up and Rick admitting that he won't be able to use it correctly the right way again after that, yet he still used it like not a single bone was broken afterwards (this is in the comic).
More like, "I'll sit right here and when he opens the door, I'll cut his freakin' head off before he realizes it."
You could make the same argument about Glenn not shooting Merle when he had his knife at Maggie's neck. But the big thing you're missing is the fact that the Governor is NUTS. He doesn't see Penny as a walker. He sees her as a still living person. That's why he stood down, because he was scared that Michonne would harm Penny (which in his head, would be Michonne hurting his still alive daughter).
Same thing with Michonne's husband and his best friend (the two walkers that were with her). Basically, the "zombiebrat" as you call her, was used to her father in the same manner as those two were to Michonne. And, the only reason why "zombiebrat" reacted to Michonne after she pulled the hood off was because she didn't see Michonne until she put the hood off, much in the same manner as Michonne's husband and his best friend didn't react to the Governor and the group that came out to the helicopter until they were in their line of site.
Especially with a whole lot of other problems that they've had to deal with, such as trying to clear out as much of the prison so they can get around to handling the hole in the fence, Rick losing his wife and the group losing T-Dog, and the fact that they now had to go rescue Maggie and Glenn from Woodbury.
Which I'm sure they wanted because they needed something to draw people back for the next episode in February.
There's no indication that was a wall guard, dude. For all we know, that may have been the guy who handled the food distribution for the town (that the Governor made mention of a few episodes back) and the building that the Atlanta group went through was the food distribution area (which would explain why he had a key and no weapon on him).
Probably because its heavy. That or he's also taking into account recoil when he knows he's about to fire the gun. But most likely due to it being heavy.
But wouldn't fencing help lay down the groundwork on how to use a sword, how to approach an opponent, building up strength in muscles in the arms to allow you to lift up a sword, how to keep your guard up while handling a sword, how to keep the blade steady when handling it?
And when you're trying to run for your life when you've got a whole herd after you, are you really going to want to have a sword on your hip where you're most likely to trip on it, or have it on your back where you'll least likely to trip on it?
