I will start a Lumi wedding week thread, I will! *Fist shake*

Superficial note as I watch: anyone else sick of all the orange? Not just this episode but the show overall. Every day is so orange. Variation of orange plus variation of neutral, every single day. Peach, beige, taupe, burnt freaking sienna, the look of this show just exhausts and depresses me. I flip over to AMC in commercial break and I see -- red! green! blue! I want to send Days some freaking flood lamps.

And also superficially: I'm glad they're not using the lame background music for the wedding.

The camera cuts between storylines at the beginning of the show were pretty neat.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEe

The [!@#$%^&*]'s about to hit the fan!!

This is easily one of the best episodes of the year. The dialog is great, the acting is on par and just...the show feels alive again!!

"Your mission, should you choose to accept, is to kill Bo Brady" -- dunh dunh DUNH!

Like the little look Billie gave Kate while she's hanging back by the bar.

So Bill's alive huh? Nice touch that they remembered Eric and Bill.

Way cute montage of Lumi -- the hopscotch scene! It lives!

Marlena's very perceptive with the date thing on the picture of EJ and Sami. I like Kate's line about the luck of the Irish. Looks like a strong dramatic finish here.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I hate you Kate!! You evil bitch! You're just lonely so you try to hurt everyone around you!!

Great episode. I freakin love this show. I cannot wait until tomorrow.

I love the way they did the previews. You don't know exactly what happens at the reception and I love it!

Where to begin???

*Elvis walking down the aisle interspersed with shots of Steve fighting the goons was a great editing technique, IMO. It was powerful symbolism since Steve & Sami are the two characters' who Elvis has caused the most severe turmoil. Both scenes represented their struggles reaching a kind of climax. I thought it was intelligent to tie them together in this fashion. I also liked how all the guests turned to glare at Elvis as he walked down the aisle. Great dramatic moment!

*Loved Sami tripping & Lucas catching her. Remember when she tripped after the Stan wedding and no one caught her? Again, powerful symbolism.

*Bagpipes playing Amazing Grace & LUMI's first dance to a Celtic song. What a pleasure to hear something classical on DAYS versus the regular cheesy background tunes.

*Sami to Kate: can I call you mom now? :lol:

*Lucas reciting the Irish prayer. Very sweet, heartfelt (non plot-driven) moment. Loved that.

*Lucas thanking Maggie for helping turn his life around. I love that the writers remembered to acknowledge this relationship. That lady has practically been a second mother to him.

*Love that Marlena was in charge of the slideshow and the warmth conveyed in her speech (The plugs could have been a bit more subtle, LOL).

*Eric and Bill mentions were a nice touch

*They used pics of Bryan/Ali in the slideshow! You could tell that the cast enjoyed that, LOL.

*The montage!!! OMG, the montage!!!!! Old-school LUMI!!! Excellent choice of clips and song. For those wondering about the timeframe of the various scenes:

-Hopscotch (the HOLY GRAIL of old school LUMI)- May 1993

-Spring Fling- May 1993

-Titan Photo Lab- Feb 1995 (night Will was conceived)

-Flour fight- Aug 03

-"Home to Me' dance- Oct 03

-Ticklefight- January 04

*The dreaded PICTURE! I loved how they worked it in with no hint or foreshadowing beforehand. One moment you're watching a romantic montage and then...BAM!

*Another great cliffhanger ending (and a fade-out!)

My only real gripe about this ep. is that the actual ceremony was a bit rushed. I would have liked longer and more personalized vows and feel they could have cut some of the Nick/Stephanie/Chelsea material to this end. That being said, the post-wedding stuff pretty much compensated for this.

I said yesterday was a good mix of drama/romance. Well, today was virtually the PERFECT mix. I liked the structure of the episode: the first 5 minutes and last 5 minutes had all the excitement/suspense and the middle was full of more character-driven "moments". Having an ensemble cast (vets included) present on one set also gave the show much more of a Sweeps-like feel. And like BJ said, the better music makes a huge difference.

Congrats to the whole cast & crew for today. It may not have been a lavsh 80's type wedding but it was a great spectacle nonetheless. Fingers crossed that DAYS gets a ratings boost from this. For once, I can say they genuinely deserve it. Can't wait for the rest of the week!!!

    • And the third thing, which I have no cite for, and I may look to see if one is findable, but supposedly she said that the show had too much gay content in it. And, to be fair, that could be someone making a criticism about balance & not be bigotry but when it's added to the other, that's why it bugs people.

      The greatest tv series season finale in history.   
    • Mick Savage was sooo unbearable. And more unbearable was the reaction from the female characters to him - they were acting like he is God's gift to women and sooo irresistible. To a point of unbelievable cringe. 
    • Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna? 
    • This is the coldest early June in my life. It's like it's January.

    • This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!
