I don’t have a problem with the show focusing on the human conflicts and drama that would arise from a zombie apocalypse; I just think that the conflicts that they portrayed were unrealistic, and would not be the types of conflicts one would see in a survival situation like this. That’s what bugs me. We’re not seeing anything close to realistic human behavior.

It's a transitional period. People are still functioning based on how things used to be -- not on how things will be from now on. You'll find that whenever an unprecedented disaster takes place. Many people still take their bearings from what was, not from what is. It's human nature.

A lot of this conflict, though, you can see in other post-apocalyptic dramas (Falling Skies, Jericho, Jeremiah, and now, Revolution). The same moral conflicts come to be expected, so maybe it is time for something different, a different approach. A futuristic world can't be too radically different from our own, though, or viewers will find it hard to relate to.
