Members Days4Life Posted July 3, 2007 Members Share Posted July 3, 2007 The whole rape/Sami/EJ story is so messed up right now that I wish they'd pull a Bobby Ewing and make it all a dream. Sami is adding new details we never saw and doing a complete personality change on her feelings for EJ, and he is becoming a watered down, sappy Dimera on the verge of betraying his entire family to their worst enemies. IF Sami had acted this way when the rape occured, it would be one thing but she didn't and this delayed reaction doesn't make sense. And EJ is losing the edge that made him interesting. He can be redeemed without making him into a lovesick fool. That's why I always liked EJ and Sami--they had this great fire and passion together. Their scenes had electricity, unlike the silly stuff we got today with Lucas acting like a teenager and Sami panting like a porn star every time Lucas touched her. And...I still can't figure out if Stefano is faking his illness for some devious reason (remember Rolf's insistence that Stefano NOT go to the hospital?) or if he's really sick. And that fugue state he went into last week reminded me of Tony's blackouts when he returned to Salem with that mystery blood disorder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Keith Posted July 3, 2007 Members Share Posted July 3, 2007 The scenes at Bo and Hope's wer epretty much the only thing worth my time today. The writing is so lopsided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PoisonIvy Posted July 3, 2007 Members Share Posted July 3, 2007 I thought today's episode was pretty boring overall...no progress on the major stories and just trying hard to show some sort of comparison between Lumi and Bope. Bope have a great connection that really makes their scenes entertaining, even when the scenes themselves are pretty mundane. Lumi - not so much....and that's being kind.... Belle siding with Phil instead of Shawn has me convinced she just wants both of them at the same time...if she's married to Phil she's pining for Shawn, now that she has him she's drawn to Phil again...thankfully they didn't have the little girl who hates her on, it's actually painful to watch that kid try to get away from her.... It was uncomfortable to think, much less hear about Roman possibly having sex....ewww.....but I love Anna, so she made it work for me....I still think they need to put Tony and Anna together again.... EJ/Tony/Stefano - now I have a very deep and abiding love for the DiMeras, but I actually looked at the TV and for the very first time said "what are you doing EJ? That was so dumb." It pained me. I mean I understand the need for redemption, but the goody goody thing annoys me with Sami, and I'm really hoping they aren't going to go overboard with EJ - he needs that edge, it makes him stand out from the other characters. Stefano's faking IMO. All in all, an okay, nothing special day...can't wait to get through this week. Hopefully next week isn't pre-empted, I'm really looking forward to the Santeen scenes.

Members ArizonaDaze Posted July 3, 2007 Members Share Posted July 3, 2007 Wow, what happened to Roman? He had a personality today. Loved all the scenes with him, Bo & Hope and also Anna. I'm a Lumi fan but they were just ok today. What's up with the safe house? It looks more like a motel room to me. The other thing that bugs me is why are Belle and Shawn living with either Philip or Bope? John (her father by the way) owns the loft where she use to live. Go back there and grow up! Oh boy!

Members PoisonIvy Posted July 3, 2007 Members Share Posted July 3, 2007 Thanks ArizonaDaze Just one more thought - please burn that jacket and tie that EJ had on. I know they're tight on cash, so if they absolutely need to use that jacket again, tell wardrobe to stop pairing it with striped ties...it's a hideous combo.

Administrator Toups Posted July 3, 2007 Administrator Share Posted July 3, 2007 I'm not liking wuss EJ either. The EJ back in December was so fun to watch. James Scott is so good playing a villain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PoisonIvy Posted July 3, 2007 Members Share Posted July 3, 2007 I just want a little bit of both - I like bad Ej, but I like the good as well. I refuse to believe it has to be all or nothing, so I'm looking forward to seeing him scheme some more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PhoenixRising05 Posted July 3, 2007 Members Share Posted July 3, 2007 Today was much like Friday...it wasn't horrible yet it felt like an episode designed to stall things until next week. This happens alot in recent years during short holiday weeks like this. Bo, Hope, Roman, and Anna were hilarious. Bope are amazing. From the bet to all the faces they made at each other...they are so back. JT is rocking right now. Roman has personality and is a character again. Love it and loved LeAnn so much. Stefano, EJ, and Tony was good but went nowhere. It moved a bit and the scenes were fine but not much went down. I have a feeling Stefano may be faking this for some reason and Rolf is in on it. Belle/Shawn/Philip was boring but at least they are doing something now with the job stuff. Tomorrow looks like another slow one but it looks somewhat tolerable so we'll see. In regards to EJ, they need to find a balance between good and evil. They should make him a gray character, like Tony was in the 80''s. That would work.

Members maconrich Posted July 3, 2007 Members Share Posted July 3, 2007 Loved the DiMera's -- always do and seeing all three together is brilliant; Anna is a blast and the scenes with her, Roman, Bo and Hope were good. The rest of the show was so boring beyond words. Lucas and Sami pathetic at best other than the cops coming in. At this point if they'd come in shooting, I don't think I would have minded. I too would like for EJ to have a little more edge to him - not evil but not like he is now. Sure would be great to see him and Samantha together - the way her character has been written lately makes it feel like I'm watching two versions of lucas and that does not work for me at all. They need to get her away from lucas and fast - I want Sami back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PoisonIvy Posted July 3, 2007 Members Share Posted July 3, 2007 The more I think about it - it's like a pendulum - they're swinging EJ back to the good side and he's not done yet. They have to emphasize his turn towards good and his motivation behind it (Sami and the babies), before they swing him back to being a little shady. It's just being patient while they do it that I have a problem with. Sami is completely different when dealing with her family and Lucas, than she is dealing with EJ. I miss bad Sami - her schemes, even when they backfired were great to watch. I always wanted her to grow up, but by being smart about her scheming, not turning into a Scarrie.....I hate that. And yes, I love EJ and Sami together -they are a great blend of bad/good, and so exciting when onscreen together.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members numberonedaysfan Posted July 3, 2007 Members Share Posted July 3, 2007 yeah i found the show very boring...And why have bo and hope talk about their bet for the whole show...cute but not for an entire episode! And why cant we see roman and anna actually do the deed instead of talking about it? and lucas and sami are too damn boring....they show stefano drinking and smoking but i am supposed to believe he is dying?hmm..
