The Walking Dead: 5 reasons why Alpha didn’t send the walkers

It’s easy to think that Alpha sent the massive waves of walkers to attack Alexandria and Hilltop, but here are 5 reasons that prove it wasn’t her.

When the waves of walkers arrived in Alexandria it was right after the survivors discovered a skin mask on the beach in Oceanside. For all intents and purposes, it certainly looked like Alpha and the Whisperers were back from their winter vacation, and the walkers could be payback for crossing the borders in violation of her terms. However, the walkers that keep showing up in Alexandria and Hilltop don’t seem to fit Alpha’s modus operandi.

While the walkers that arrived were definitely a problem, here are 5 reasons that they were not Alpha’s walkers.

#5- No Direction

Alpha is a planner. Her guardians are more dear to her than the living members of her group, whom she seems to regard as shepherds for her precious flock.

The walkers showing up in Alexandria and the Hilltop are being guided by happenstance. They’re not there because someone guided them there (as far as we know), rather they’re there because they happened upon the communities at the right time. In the case of Alexandria it was due to the satellite and the fire, and in the case of Hilltop it was probably due to the tree falling.

Honestly, there weren’t enough of them to be part of Alpha’s horde, and they weren’t arriving like they were part of a plan.

Alpha always has a plan, so it’s a pretty safe bet that these walkers that showed up unannounced were not her walkers.
