![]() So that is the most overt threat they pose. Unfortunately, as they demonstrated in this episode, they’re able to steer zombie herds in whatever direction they want, and they can strike from within the herd as well. “Humankind is an animal and zombies are their true form” kind of thing.ĭespite that, the Whisperers do have a sort of primitive nomadic society - they’re still human with all the physical needs that any person has. According to the comics it started out as a means to survive but over time it became essentially a philosophy. As you’ll recall, doing that is what cost Gabriel sight in one of his eyes, when he got infected doing that.īut the Whisperers don’t do it just as a survival thing - or at least they don’t anymore. It’s basically the same survival technique we’ve seen on “The Walking Dead” in the past, where people would slather zombie guts on themselves to get out of a bad situation. WALKING DEAD ZOMBIE HUNTER SKINThe Whisperers, at least in the “Walking Dead” comics, are humans who worship the zombies and walk around wearing zombie skin and whatnot. This person is part of a new group called the Whisperers, who are going to menace our heroes for probably at least the rest of this season and maybe longer than that.Īlso Read: 'Walking Dead': Everything We Know About Jadis and the Helicopter So the talking zombie is not actually a zombie, but rather a real live human disguised as one and rolling with the zombie herd. ![]() Now, I’m about to explain exactly what the deal is with the talking zombies - this is technically spoilers for future episodes, so if you don’t want to know what’s happening you should bail now. Then, at the end of the episode, Jesus, Aaron and Daryl (Norman Reedus) head off to try to find Eugene - and if the show follows the way this went in the comics, that expedition is going to mark the beginning of a new war for Alexandria and the Hilltop. Jesus (Tom Payne) and Aaron (Ross Marquand) eventually find her - she said she had to leave the injured Eugene behind in a barn before falling unconscious.Īlso Read: 'Walking Dead': Everything We Know About Georgie So Far This week’s episode followed up by opening with Rosita running frantically through the woods trying to get away from that seemingly sentient herd of zombies as they continued their creepily undead-sounding chatter. “Where are they?” “They must be close.” “Don’t let them get away.” It’s a talking zombie! Or zombies! Or multiple voices, if you’re going by the closed captions. But as the her passes Eugene and Rosita, a voice can be heard among them. Until, losing pace because Eugene sustained a knee injury while climbing down from the tower, the pair have to hide in the mud and hope the zombies pass them by.Īnd that’s exactly what happens. But otherwise it kinda does play out like one. “Herd musta flipped a hardcore U,” Eugene says about the situation, which is a big clue that this is not just a regular zombie apocalypse situation. And while they’re out there, a herd of zombies they thought had been going the opposite direction was suddenly bearing down on them.Īlso Read: 'Walking Dead': Are We Going to See Maggie Again This Season - or Ever? This thread began last week with Gabriel (Seth Gilliam) trying to use the radio to find more survivors, and Rosita (Christian Serratos) and Eugene (Josh McDermitt) going out and planting a transceiver on a water tower to boost their range. That movement has involved a plot thread that has seemed largely extraneous, but which looks like it will finally come to a head next week. ![]() So while “The Walking Dead” has spent significant time letting us get to know Magna’s new group and catch up on the new state of affairs with Maggie running around with Georgie, it has certainly also been steering us squarely toward the war with the Whisperers, a new antagonist group that worships zombies. The latest two episodes of “The Walking Dead” have been relatively low-key - to be expected given that multi-year time skip and Andrew Lincoln’s exit - but they’ve also been setting up the next big storyline on the show via the talking zombies that were/are chasing Eugene (Josh McDermitt) and Rosita (Christian Serratos). ![]()
