On The Box This Week

Warning-TV Spoilers Ahead!

 Paul and I have been watching this show for a couple of years now

and like Gogglebox it's really become a hit the past couple of years.

It's basically a restaurant that just carers for people on first dates but there is a twist all of these people are blind first dates! This episode saw Alex come back for a date with a guy who she flirted with last episode. I like this show not all dates go smoothly and it's funny to see when the dates go wrong!

This episode had car racing, a proposal for Edith and all the hard luck we can throw at Thomas!

Not sure if everything will be wrapped up in our last episode before the Christmas finale but then again I'm not sure I want it to be!

The family all headed to London to see Henry car racing. Mary was a bag of nerves and of course something went wrong. There was a car crash...Mary panicked but it wasn't Henry that was killed it was his best friend. This brought horrible memories of Matthew's death back for Mary, and although she didn't really want to, she end things with Henry much to Tom's disapproval 

Edith was offered marriage but is unsure to tell her new beau about the really story behind Marigold her "ward"! I am hoping that he will accept Edith and Marigold. 

Poor Thomas I am hoping that something really nice happens next week. As Andy's secret came out this week and everyone was so understanding, but not one person not even Andy thanked Thomas for teaching him to read! I have a feeling Thomas might have already have left Downton and Mr Carson will see the error of his ways next week and ask him back.

One episode left how the last seven weeks have go so fast!

Favourite quotes of the week

"What have we here? Can anyone join in" "No Mr Barrow they can not!" 

~ Poor Thomas just wanted a bit of company Mr Carson!

"You and I will get hurt again...it's part of being alive"

~Tom to Mary

After the fast pace of the last few weeks The Walking Dead slowed it down this week with a 90 minute flash back episode which showed us what happen to Morgan since season three.
Morgan was crazy when Rick last saw him back in season three then he turned up last season very at peace with himself and declared he does not kill people anymore. We saw this in episode two when he wouldn't kill any of the wolves.
It showed us that Morgan felt he had to "clear" everything in his path walkers and humans it didn't matter as everyone turned in the end. He met a man named Eastwood and he took him in, fed him and told him his story.
I loved this episode when the creative team for the walking dead are on form they can pull out a beautiful episode like this. I really enjoyed this two man episode, if the past few episodes have been like Grand Thief Auto this was like The Shawshank Redemption. It was a beautiful well acted piece of the jigsaw that is The Walking Dead
