Members Noel Posted January 22, 2008 Members Share Posted January 22, 2008 Discuss. The more I see Marlena, the more I'm enjoying DAYS. John has another flashback and he remembers (kind of) his honeymoon with Marlena at the beach (I hope he doesn't have a flashback of Princess Gina ). I'll never forget Marlena's wedding day to John because that was the same week when Passions debuted. God, I hated that show in the beginning, but I got use to it. EEEEEEEEE! John is telling Marlena that he had a dream about her! Anybody else watching right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Toups Posted January 22, 2008 Administrator Share Posted January 22, 2008 I know. Everytime I see her, I get a little sad. To let go the best young actress you have is so stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KLN Posted January 22, 2008 Members Share Posted January 22, 2008 The scab writers are definitely here. In just the last handful of episodes, the dialogue has been horrible... and now those ridiculous "brainwashing" flashbacks? Yuck! They reek of Tom Langan. I honestly don't know how Drake kept a straight face. For me personally, this story has taken a dramatic fall in the wrong direction over the last few episodes. As for any scenes with Belle/Shawn/Phillip/Chloe, I feel like... why bother watching? I already know that it will lead to absolutely nothing, so anything that happens between then and now is a complete waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted January 22, 2008 Administrator Share Posted January 22, 2008 You mean like Abe saying (in yesterday's) to EJ, "They'll be crawling up your jock strap." And then in the weekly promo, Marlena saying, "Stefano dry cleaned your brain." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KLN Posted January 22, 2008 Members Share Posted January 22, 2008 Precisely. Also, it feels like someone has pressed the pause button. I'm ready for J&M to get out of that damn hospital! Seriously, I already hate 'hospital' scenes, because the sets are so boring and uninspiring, but... John and Marlena need to break out of that place! I'm sick of J&M having the same conversation. MARLENA: "You will remember me." JOHN: "I dont know who you are." MARLENA: "But you will." JOHN: "I don't. I was programmed not to." MARLENA: "I can break through that. Our love can break through that." JOHN: "But I don't love you." MARLENA: "Yes, you do. I'll make you see that." JOHN: "It won't work. I was programmed to not feel anything." MARLENA: "But our love can break through anything." JOHN: "Don't drug me!" MARLENA: "I won't let them drug you." NURSES: "He's violent, we have to drug him!" MARLENA: "Oh John, I love you!" JOHN: "I don't love you. I wasn't programmed..." OHMYFUCKINGCHRIST!! Second verse, same as the first. Move oooooonnnnn with it! Let something happen! Let one of Stefano's men try to escape John out or something. I mean, Stefano spends all this time and energy on getting John under his control, yet he's just going to let him sit there in that hospital and not even try to get him back? Do somethingggggggg!

Members Loretta3938 Posted January 22, 2008 Members Share Posted January 22, 2008 Or Abe telling EJ he couldn't trust anyone with DiMera blood when his wife and son have DiMera blood. I'm chalking a lot of this up to the scab writers...who appear not to know a lot about dialogue writing or the show's history. I guess we could always say it's fun to see what outlandish statement will pop out of a character's mouth next, but I feel for the actors who are dealing with these scripts and worried about their longevity on the show.

Members Sweet_VeeVee24 Posted January 22, 2008 Members Share Posted January 22, 2008 I have a feeling that John will most likely harbor some of those memories that he has regarding Stefano which will result in an explosive showdown...Stefano is a very smart man, but never estimate John Black either...Can't wait to see how all this develops.

Administrator Toups Posted January 22, 2008 Administrator Share Posted January 22, 2008 LOL Yeah, I don't think we necessarily need to see how Stefano brainwashed John. Just saying he did it is good enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PhoenixRising05 Posted January 22, 2008 Members Share Posted January 22, 2008 Yeah. The John flashbacks were horrible. There is no way you can put everything in one's mind on a disk. I've heard of memories and data but not that. I agree. It would've been better if they had just left it to the imagination or just used vague flashbacks. Wow...this is what you get with Hogan gone. How the hell did Ed Scott let that BS pass? Couldn't he have made a suggestion or made it a bit darker? Ugh. The sad part is a good amount of fans will eat this up because of the camp factor. I like the story but the brainwashing scenes are atrocious. Can't we just stick to the present and present vague flashback scenes like the ones we got for Stephanie's rape? Flashbacks like those would be more effective. The J&M story is pretty good and I love feisty Marlena and her standing up for John with the doctors, Roman, and Hope. Also liked John being an ass to Hope . The Belle/Philip scenes were wonderful. That is the only stuff that hit me hard knowing what we know because they both knocked it out of the ballpark and they are just working as a couple now. It was wonderful. I also liked how Belle asking Philip's hand and him taking and holding it faded into Crystal singing to Claire, which Belle had mentioned prior, and then it faded back to Belle and Philip and then we had a scene where John was asking Marlena to let go of his hand. Clever juxtaposition and good editing. Loved it. I also adore Crystal. She is so intriguing. Lucas making a deal with Stefano and the Sami/EJ scenes were actually not bad. I like Lucas getting his edge back and his worry about Sami falling for EJ, along with his worries about Ali, driving him to consider Stefano's deal. Good scenes. All in all, the show is still doing what it's supposed to do. We just have to hope they make the right casting decisions to go along with it.

Members Noel Posted January 22, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 22, 2008 I hate talking on the phone. I really do. It seemed like today everyone and their great grandmother was calling me and annoying the crap out of me that I didn't get to finish the rest of DAYS. And by reading Kennylicious's post, I would probably have to say that it's safe that I didn't watch the rest of show in its entirety. Wuff! Man, this is tragic.... Okay, so who let David Kreizman in the house? This isn't even funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
