On The Box This Week

Warning-TV Spoilers Ahead!

I'm not sure why but I haven't been feeling the past three episodes of this show

to be honest it just feels like more of the same of last season.

The things that made it fresh and new last season feels a little stale

Julie Waters has been my reason for continuing to watch she is amazing as Cynthia

This episode seemed to pick up a little so hopefully we might get something exciting soon!

What I do like about this show is how it's a bit of a jigsaw and how as the viewer

we have to put the pieces together!

There was a fashion show which looked stunning but all went a bit wrong when Lord Hawthrone was turned into a human torch! Which left us all guessing what happened? Then Ralph's illegitimate son Adam turned up with torched hands we see if he has an evil touch like his Dad or was he saving Leena for being rape?

So we come to the 90 minute finale of season six of The Walking Dead

This seems to have fans up in arms regarding the end of season cliffhanger

TBH I don't really mind the cliffhanger but I do think it might have been a step to far

for some fans and one to many cliffhangers in what seem to be a series of cliffhanger endings

I think that this episode didn't need to be 90 minutes the regular time would of been better

Maggie is in a bad way so the gang try to get her to hilltop to see a doctor before she starts to lose her baby but Negan's gang is waiting and block the roads at ever turn. The Morgan and Carol storyline went on to long for me it was too drawn out but I was glad for glimpses of a new community in season seven.

But if the writers can barely fit in Alexandrians, never mind Hilltop residents into 16 episodes what hope have this new community of getting screen time?! 

It was mostly 90 minutes of Rick's group in the RV driving around but there was some chilling scenes like when they decide to leave the RV and try get to hilltop on foot and as they run into the woods they hear Negan's group whistling from everywhere.

The saving grace was of course Jeffery Dean Morgan as Negan he delivers a ten minute monologue and it's so gripping I just loved it. We met Lucille his weapon of choice and we wait to see who is going to met a very sticky end, and we waiting and then we hear but don't see who gets killed! 

Personally while I'm not too annoyed by the cliffhanger I can understand why some fans are

If the writers or show runner hadn't done the same at the start of the season with Glen, and after endless cliffhanger episodes all season, it might have worked but it comes across to some fans as a cheap trick that has been done to death the past two seasons! Some one please tell the writers that ending every episode in a cliffhanger doesn't make it good writing or good TV!! It's getting a little boring and stale! Maybe it's time to get some new writers or show runner to freshen the show up a bit. I will still be watching next season but that only because Jeffery Dean Morgan gave us a glance of how awesome he is going to be as Negan.

So as one of my favourite shows finishes for a while another restarts
Outlander is back next week!!
