So my question is how did Alpha kill 9 people without anyone noticing. Were there certain targets or was it random selection?
Seemed like it was quite a few younger people were the ones that were killed.

Alpha spent the day wandering around the fair. She probably noted the leaders of the communities, and the secondary leaders like Enid & Siddiq. And I have no doubt Henry was a prime target since Lydia "chose Henry" over her own mother.
The movie was going on, and the concert was happening, and there were so many people wandering around that the whisperers were probably able to sneak in and snag their targets as the opportunities arose. And then the former Savior and the two Highwaymen crashed the party out in the woods & got added to the head count.
I think one of the reasons this season has been such an improvement is because Negan has barely been in it. Two plus seasons of his schtick got old in a big way. I guess I'd be OK with Negan coming back into the storyline in a more prominent fashion for a few episodes if they finally killed him off and moved on.
Negan has been my favorite character in the more recent season. He was a BA villain that was clever and crazy. Since the show really strung out the war, I think a lot of people started to get annoyed with him.
As a character I really like Negan. The problem with him is he is usually involved in waaaaaay too much dialog. His scenes tend to drag.
Good thing the show is in northern Virginia now.
Though even then, yeah, the blizzards were a bit over the top. There's no snowstorm that hits there that would make it that hard to go between buildings inside a settlement.
Also the physics of the snow weren't really realistic, probably because they were just using foam and other effects, while still filming in georgia.
Pretty disappointed with the season finale. There wasn't a cliff-hanger to get me excited for October.
Global changes in population and fossil fuel consumption.
I don’t think climate changes happen in that short of time. Heck, if everybody died today, the earth’s atmosphere would still change for years due to committed warming.
But yeah, we’re splitting hairs in a show about zombies haha.
I am trying to figure out how the whisperers weren't affected by the snow at all. The scene with Alpha didn't have any snow and the trees were pretty green, too.
This was explained on Talking Dead I think, but a couple months had passed between the prior weeks episode and the season finale. The whisperers had migrated south for the winter.
However, there could have been some consequences of the apocalypse that would have happened sooner than now, that they could have used seasons ago and it would have made more sense. Smoke from burning cities (which, in the TWD universe it is canon that multiple cities were firebombed) could have caused a rapid climate change, for example.
I hear you, but I am glad they didn't end on a cliff-hanger. I am glad they showed the heads on spikes in the 2nd to last episode and set/wrapped things up in the last. I say this, because the Walking Dead has been so bad at cliff-hangers in the past, it was a nice refresh to not have one. Now I can go into season 10 knowing what to expect. The Whisperers are coming and there will be war.
Also, I like that it wasn't 16 episodes of build up to Negan and him bashing heads in to only have to wait 6 months to find out who he killed.
