I went ahead and finished the season despite being highly annoyed that they took the main character off the show. With that said, I watched it because of the whispers. I know a lot of people who don't follow the comics don't know about them. I don't read the comics either but a friend of mine who does told me about them a few years ago so when they showed in the preview for the last remaining episodes, at the end of Rick's last episode, when Aaron and somebody else were talking about the Walkers just raising basically, I knew it was them. The Walkers cannot evolve. When I heard one of them whisper don't let them get away that was the absolute definitive confirmation for me.
That reveal was creepy though. I mean the tension was nowhere near as high as it was when Negan Finally Revealed himself, knowing that someone was going to die. However, this was scarier than that. The way they said that final scene up with the lighting, the setting, The Whispers, And the fact that poor Jesus got killed, it was a great scene!
The only thing I am worried about though is that going to be the highlight of how they make the audience feel. I mean after the scene with Negan and the first episode after the break were really intense but after that it just went to shit. He was fun to watch but there was no tension whatsoever felt by me or anyone else I talk to about it. I just hope they can keep the flow going with the whisperers because this has the elements to be downright scary if they do it right.
