I generally tell them that the major drama of the show is the conflict between the group of survivors, conflict with other groups, usually violent and just trying to survive in a very violent, world. Sort of a Lord of the Flies scenario.

I agree with that and have told people something similar. For me though it has gotten to the point where I no longer enjoy the interplay between personalities or other groups. I no longer have the patience for the ricocheting pinball action of going from one encampment to the next. I'm not asking for a deus ex machina plot device but they need to start moving towards a conclusion.

I don't see that happening as long as it keeps getting the incredible ratings it's getting. But I understand your point.
