If you or I actually had to face what they faced in season 1, neither of us would FIND the time to fall in love, fuck people or worry about much of anything other than eat, sleep and live. That's the reality of it. You wouldn't hardly be ABLE to sleep, because you'd always have the fear of this horde or zombies attacking you. You wouldn't find places where you could feel secure enough to live a "normal" life. And even if you did, the damage done to your psychological makeup would be such that you'd probably never be able set aside your trauma enough to think about such trivial things.
Nothing is more indicitive of this than Glenn and Maggie. In season two, when they fuck, they do so out in the open, inside of a goddamn store with the threat of death ALL AROUND THEM. Then, to make it even more ridiculous, they get all emo and fall in love. There's no way, if this shit happened in the real world, that you would be thinking about anything other than staying alive. Maybe if you were a parent and had to make sure your kid/s were safe. But not in Glenn's case. Not a chance.
When George Romero was asked to direct the show, his responce was something like "It's just a soap opera with the occasional zombie". That's exactly why I stopped watching.
