It would be a refreshing change, but clearly too little, too late.
They ran around in the woods fighting against the same 'big bad' for too long and now nobody cares.
I wanted to ask you specifically, did you get the feeling that the storyline for Beta was really compressed at the end? I couldn't help but feel that there was something bigger planned for him and they just wrapped it up quick and moved on.
Not that I didn't truly enjoy seeing him get what he deserved, along with all of the Whisperers, but it all felt so rushed. First they couldn't spot them in the horde and then - presto! - they know where each and every one of them are, so much so that they can save the 7-footer (that they couldn't find forever) for last.
