Guys, listen, we aren't debating realism or believability, but one key word that is important in any sci-fi/fantasy story.

Consistency.

With this genre you are free to create a new universe with any possible reality you can invent, but you need to have laws that govern that universe to maintain consistency. Without those laws, the reader/viewer cannot every feel comfortable enough to lose themselves in the story. What you are left with is chaos, and the reader/viewer is being constantly distracted by the inconsistencies in the laws of the universe.

That's where TWD can be better, but they're not that bad at it for the most part.
