What a way to end the season.

Season One Episode 6 is Frank at his best showing off his strengths. There is no large set piece like a city to have to overdo in order to make everything feel overwhelming and scary. The CDC was a perfect option to set the finale of the season.

We get to see Shane unravel and take out his frustrations on Lori. We see how Rick really feels about the world that he's been forced to adopt over the last week or two. A couple of characters make the ultimate decision. One of them isn't as strong willed as they might think they are in the end.

Jenner was a haunting host. Every bit of the desperate sadness of this new world was perfectly portrayed on him. He lost it all. His friends, His colleagues, and His wife but felt obligated to continue going just for the pure sake of a promise he made. He had every option to "opt out" and proved that some people prevail even in the end times.

The last 15 minutes of this season are some of the most tense we see out of this series for a while going forward. It's impossible to not see how good of a director Frank is in those tense moments. Human acting is always better than CGI.
