you don't have to explain it, just write within it.
you really think that really good sci-fi doesn't have a hell of a lot of rules and thought behind how you can write effectively? All these heroes of cinema etc, Kevin Smith or whoever know vast amounts of stuff like this, that the viewers don't, and don't need to, but the result is a much much better output.

The Walking Dead as with most zombie apocalypse scenarios is more about how humans react to the desperate situation in which they are placed
the zombies for the most part are just a plot device and could be replaced aliens, robots, mutant cats etc.

Indeed. Also, the zombies in TWD follow very strict rules.
I'm a nerd, it's what we look for.

So if it didn't fit the rules you specifically know
you'd have been a hater?

Isn't that exactly what you described me as???

what should i call him

"A cunt" would be a start

sounds about right
he really is a shit

It's not so much the crap he has directed
As much as the crap he has produced- all those completely unnecessary remakes of classic horror films.

Looking at his IMDb page it would appear that he's producing a remake of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at the moment. To be fair I don't really care about that one but I'm not looking forward to the remake of The Birds that he also seems to be involved with.

Oh sure, totally aware of that
Shame there wasn't a worthwhile storyline for it to enable though.
