Michael E. Satrazemis is back in the director chair for what was supposed to be the mid-season premiere. He directed episode 8 which featured the death of John Dorie, now in this episode the confrontation between Virginia and Morgan will finally happen which will be the first time since the season 5 finale they share a scene together. Something you should know is that Dakota killed John Dorie and is the person who saved Morgan's life in 5.16, she wants her sister dead.
Things Left to Do is one of the best episodes that the new showrunners and their writers have written, it pays off to us viewers because of the large amount of character development, it's just nice to see something pay off in a great way. They failed to do it in season 4 and 5, it's like Fear's third season, a great build up that ended with some of the best drama I've seen on television. The episode is also well shot, there's so many shots that are truly breathtaking, I think they met a new standard in cinematography for the show. It always felt like it took a dive in season 4 and 5, but the imagery and camera work in the 6th season is impressive.
Episode 6.09 is probably among the best episodes of any TWD show, for a zombie show it involved no zombies but what it involved was believable human interactions. Fantastic and realistic drama that takes every single story thread and character arc, and gives us an conclusion that will be remembered for years to come... But also giving us more to look forward to, the plot of the submarine and the reason for Virginia's big army, what is lurking in the distance? I can't wait to find out.
