It was so good and really enjoyable. I don't really have any complaints. It's what I would have expected and everything the characters ultimately did made sense and worked. Well, while on one hand I loved the Stars Hallow: The Musical for the  trainwreck amazingness Hamilton rip-off it was, and Sutton Foster, but it was ultimately a huge waste of time.

 

I liked how Richard's death propelled them into the next journeys of their lives. It was very good. Kelly Bishop and Emily was the true highlight though. Emily dropping bullshit and tits and vagina makes my life.

 

The ending was very much full circle and when you look at the show itself, it really does make so much sense. To end on those words and then to have the theme song FINALLY play ... I NEED more

I thought the story for all of the leading women was a trainwreck, which is what I felt it was going to be from the very beginning. Seeing Rory and Loreali mess up their lives in their 30's and 40's isn't as cute as it was when they were in their 20's and 30's. Dean continues to be the best boyfriend that Rory ever had, simply by being less worse than all the others. I don't really see the point of this revival if they were just going to have Rory follow in Loreali's footsteps. The whole endearing thing about this series was how different they both were from each other and how they both learned from the other's mistakes.

    • I was incredibly moved by these scenes, especially Peter's performance. It felt so tender and real, especially when you remember Bo just got out of a years-long coma and wasn't going to be able to put up a front. You're reminded of how long these legends have populated the show when you have a 70 year old man grieving men who were almost 90 or 100, but Bo's response to Victor's death was a poignant reminder of how fresh these wounds are no matter your age. Normally these types of moments don't even make it in soap episodes in recent decades as they are seen as too boring. The more somber moments being balanced by Bo meeting his grandchildren was also lovely.  And the scene where Bo forgave Shawn may be the only time I've been in lock with Brandon Beemer's take on the part.  There's a certain element of suffocation with soaps, as shown here, when you remember so many of the kids are named after long dead relatives, or when they grew up, were paired with the kids of other longtime characters. That aspect always makes me yearn for new blood (new blood that doesn't suck, anyway), but there are other moments, like those with Bo, which make me appreciate all the history the show has.
    • A funny scene, Roger and Sonni go out to eat, at that place that had a colonial theme (I love when soaps have very specific places to eat..I hated the diners on GL, ATWT and AW) and this is just after Rog came back and Sonni hit the headlines and the waitress scremes.."Oh, Roger Thorpe, and YOUR...please dont' hurt me..." and they are all like, "Hey, were just hungry!" (most soaps now have someone go on a murder spree and the rest of the cast and extras look like they havent heard about it."

    • Thanks as always @Huntress always appreciate you popping in and sharing info about these shows. What are you thinking of them at present?
    • Per Flixpatrol, it's been at 4-4-5 (June 3rd to 5th).   https://flixpatrol.com/title/days-of-our-lives/
    • Someone has been posted episodes from 1994 and Jill Powell (Marcy Lafferty) has a hot storyline right now. Just googled her and in real-life she is now openly out as a Lesbian with a transgender son. 
    • Did anyone else notice that DAYS has not been in the Top 10 most streamed shows on Peacock this week??? I find that very strange considering how good the show has been, especially this week.
