“Having finished the series now, I’m not sure how much of a threat the whisperers really were. They could sort of control the zombies, which certainly helped, but it didn’t seem like the larger groups had much trouble handling the zombies anymore, and I don’t think they’d be an effective weapon in the end.
I kind of feel like the series was closing around here. It was time to show a threat again, and to show that the threats really weren’t as threatening as they once were.”
