What was once a great show now is now riddled with horrific writing, and utterly bereft of character development. Season 6 is an unmitigated disaster.

The first few episodes were brilliant, then bad writing reared its ugly head and irrevocably destroyed it.

Imagine you bought a ticket to see a film adaptation of Treasure Island and you enter the theater eagerly anticipating the epic saga and its cast of memorable characters being brought to life on the big screen. But when the movie starts you are faced with the realization that this is not Treasure Island at all, but rather a Gilligan's Island teleplay. Jim Hawkins and Long John Silver are nowhere to be found. Instead you are watching Gilligan and the Skipper arguing over missing coconuts and an utterly random, unmotivated, non-sequitur of a romance between the professor and Mary Ann utterly bereft of chemistry, meaning , or relevance... Finally, as this insipid tale inexorably limps to a uninspired denouement the director suddenly remembers this was supposed to be Treasure Island so here comes the notorious Long John Silver only to be effortless dispatched by Ginger and Mrs. Howell no sooner than he appears while Jim Hawkins suddenly appears out of nowhere babbling about cherry blossoms...That is precisely what it feels like to watch Halloween Ends, the most vacuous, unequivocally disappointing film I have seen in my entire life.
