SPOILERS - Evolution

Watched last show Evolution. It is indeed the group called the Whisperers, and not an evolution of the zombies.

This line isn't as interesting, as it's just another group of people, rather then upping the ante on the threat from the zombies alone. But it's probably for the best considering it's important not to look to closely at the science of the zombies, cause otherwise, they really couldn't exit as is. Namely, they couldn't move/live without consuming water (which we've never seen them do), and circulate it with an energy source, but not that they couldn't get water somehow.

Cool ending where we discover the Whisperers by one acting like a zombie till the last minute, to then duck a strike by Jesus, and then stab him in the heart and kill him.

It's too bad they didn't do more with Jesus. I remember his first introduction where he was karate fighting against Rick and Daryl -- probably one of the best sequences of the series. Would loved to have seen him do a lot more of that throughout the entire time he's been around, especially the way the action had become so blasé. Not to mention they had hinted at some interesting opinions, but then back that off to him being a loyal servant of Maggie, only gently encouraging togetherness.

They introduced an interesting mystery: something happened in the core group that caused the three cities to separate. They hint at Michonne feeling she was double-crossed by someone close, possibly Maggie, which is why Michonne hasn't been to Hilltop in over a year and had no idea Maggie was gone to Georgie's group.

Now they're in a break until Feb 10.

Things in the future would be the small group currently surrounded by the Whisperers at the graveyard. Nagen has escaped; what is he going to do? They'll be discovering who the Whisperers are and what they're up to. Other than that, the new group of characters entering Hilltop which adds unpredictability.
