Members JackPeyton Posted May 27, 2008 Members Share Posted May 27, 2008 Anyway, back to the soapy tale. I loved, loved, loved EJ and Sami's conversation about The Incident. Sami confronting EJ about how Johnny was conceived was great, as was EJ's non-deflective response. I know there was some whitewashing/re-writing in there, but I don't care. I totally accept it, because the actors totally sold it and because the way that whole thing was handled after The Incident made me want to kick many shins and god knows my shin-kicking list is long enough and due for some removals. Sami acknowledging what she did to Austin, EJ apologizing, Sami accepting his apology . . . it was all just made of soapy awesomeness. I know I sound like a fangirl, but seriously, it was great soap! the rest of the article- click here for more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Posted May 27, 2008 Members Share Posted May 27, 2008 Today marks my first day of getting back into DAYS....no expectations, no pre-conceived notions, just watching it as a soap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted May 27, 2008 Members Share Posted May 27, 2008 Congrats, Ryan!!!! Keep us posted. I'm curious what your thoughts are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Posted May 27, 2008 Members Share Posted May 27, 2008 Every now and again I just have to do this for a show I either was fed up with watching or judged it too harshly. I get tired of bitching about how "bad" a show is. I've loved DAYS since I was a kid, and shouldn't let my unhappiness with behind the scenes happenings affect my watching of the show (and though it's a major part of it, it's not the only reason why I stopped watching). I'll try to just watch DAYS for the soap it is, and comment. I hope to find something good that I can focus on and have it hook me back in. I need to embrace my inner "PhoenixRising," lol.

Members Sylph Posted May 27, 2008 Members Share Posted May 27, 2008 I was just about to write how I believe you are most definitely watching this show, but are keeping quiet. I'm not so sure I'm wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted May 27, 2008 Members Share Posted May 27, 2008 That's been my mantra for weeks now! I wonder if Tim knows he's started a movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Posted May 27, 2008 Members Share Posted May 27, 2008 You're right to a certain extend. I've been very vocal about my dislike of an EJ/Sami pairing and my refusal to watch any clips or scenes that they're in. I've been sticking to Youtube edits and edits on fan boards with certain characters. So I'm familiar with some things going on, just not everything. Lol, and rather than comment on what I don't like, I just choose not to comment at all. I'm trying not to rain on anyone else's parade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted May 27, 2008 Members Share Posted May 27, 2008 I'm really glad you decided to give it a chance, even though Dena ( ) is writing it. I watch only to see the way she will destroy it this time and that's why I don't enjoy the show the way I maybe should. And just seeing her name reminds me of the things she did and makes me scream! I hope you will like your show. Yes, that is a rule I should go by. I often get sick of all the negativity I could write about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dawn9476 Posted May 27, 2008 Members Share Posted May 27, 2008 Yeah. That column just reminded me why I go to SD once in the blue moon. Now I will be going there even less. You must have a stronger stomach than me Ryan. I doubt I will ever go back to Days. Higley has sucked what little life Hogan left it with. And EJ/Sami/Lucas is not great soap. It is basically a rip off of what Higley did with Todd/Blair/Spencer on OLTL in reverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted May 27, 2008 Members Share Posted May 27, 2008 Gotta admire that Ryan. Personally I don't have the stomach to watch my girl Sami reduced to propping the pig who raped her. Bad enough I have to endure this kind of ish on AMC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dawn9476 Posted May 27, 2008 Members Share Posted May 27, 2008 It was bad enough when Blair had to prop up St. Spencer against "evil" Todd under Higley at OLTL. Yeah. Todd is a rapist, too. But he actually went to jail for a while while Roger Howarth along with Susan Haskell put their foot down when they wanted to pair Todd and Marty.

Members cubsgirl Posted May 28, 2008 Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 I watched my first episode yesterday in months and I will say the only thing I enjoyed was a fiesty Sami back. I thought Sami needed to grow up and get over what happened years ago between John/Marlena and I am glad Hogan took care of that. But Saint Sami trying to be the savior of the Brady family was getting old. Overall I am so tired of the Lucas/Sami/EJ triangle that I just don't care anymore. Although I did want to smack Lucas through my television screen because he was being an a-hole towards Sami. He told her to move on, he wouldn't take her calls and then he threw that comment that she could have come up with another way to save him instead of giving into EJ was the final draw. If Higley is trying to get people to cheer for Lumi, I sure didn't see that yesterday. I only say that because I know there were many excited with Higely being back because she wrote great for Lumi before. And no way am I on the Ejami bandwagon either, but at least with EJ he takes Sami for the person she is. I have always felt that Lucas holds Sami up to higher unattainable standards making her into someone she is not. Again I am glad there are those of you watching and enjoying the show. It just isn't holding my interest like it use to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted May 28, 2008 Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 Not me, give me a pod over a Sami that gets thrown under the bus for her rapist, and is reduced to being a prop for said rapist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
