- Quotes
[Michonne confronts Heath about leaving people behind]
Michonne: Hey. Do you have a problem with me?
Heath: I'm just looking out for my people.
Michonne: And you think that I'm not?
Heath: Look, I heard what Rick said.
Michonne: Which part?
Heath: How they wouldn't all make it. They meaning us and not you. How you should leave us behind if we can't keep up.
Michonne: Glenn is out there risking his life for you and for everyone else. And I'm still here, so I don't know what the hell you're talking about.
Heath: Things are gonna get worse and then we'll see.
Michonne: Yeah, we will. Rick said what he said because sometimes you don't have a choice.
Heath: That is not how we do it.
Michonne: [Michonne raises her whispering at Heath] Because you've never had to do it any other way. You haven't been through it, not really. Not like Rick. Rick was out there, I was out there. We know, you don't. But if you don't learn, you will die, we will.
Heath: I've been doing runs from the start, okay? I know what it's like.
Michonne: Have you ever had to kill people because they had already killed your friends and were coming for you next? Have you ever done things that made you feel afraid of yourself afterward? Have you ever been covered in so much blood that you didn't know if it was yours or walkers' or your friends'? Huh? Then you don't know.

- ConnectionsFeatured in Talking Dead: JSS (2015)
Season 6 wasn't as consistent, but still started off brilliantly. Absolutely loved the previous two episodes "First Time Again" and "JSS". Feel exactly the same with the every bit as brilliant third episode "Thank You". Like "JSS", "Thank You" has a lot going on, is taut, is uncompromisingly tense, emotional and is exceptionally well made (actually stands out on that front), like the best of 'The Walking Dead'. Its critical acclaim, despite its again mixed reception here, is very much deserved.
"Thank You" as always for 'The Walking Dead' looks top notch. The gritty and audacious production design still remains, photography worthy of a film, suitably frightening make-up and visuals that don't look amateurish in any way and like they were made with heart and effort. The music is haunting and affecting, without being intrusive. The direction is some of the best of the whole of 'The Walking Dead' up to this point, both visually and providing the right amount and kind of drama. A big standout on both counts was the dumpster scene, which was an absolutely stunning scene in every regard and up there with the show's best individual scenes from personal opinion.
On a storytelling level, "Thank You" is continually gripping and in a way that does enhance plot points and characterisation. It didn't feel like pointless filler, or at least not to me. The action left me on the edge of my seat, the taut dialogue provoked thought and the episode boasted the first "what the heck just happened, that didn't just happen" moment of the season, possibly the closest it gets to that level. The major tragedy is genuinely heart-wrenching and the decision to leave another character's fate indefinite was handled with tension and poignancy, one wanting to keep watching.
As said, the dialogue is taut and thought-provoking, avoiding descending into too much talk in the more dialogue-driven scenes. The Wolves provide the right amount of foreboding. The characters don't bore or annoy and the interactions between them avoid being overwrought and are instead tense and affecting. The acting all round can't be faulted.
Concluding, brilliant. 10/10
