I enjoyed today's show. I thought it was one of the better episodes that has aired since the time jump has happened. I liked seeing some other character/story line get some focus besides stuff like Ben/Will in prison fighting against Clyde or Ben/Ciara or Sarah/Eric/Nicole/Xander.

 

I liked the scenes with JJ/Kristen/Lani/Eli. It was interesting seeing them trying to relate to each other's situations when JJ was holding Kristen at gun point. I am enjoying Kristen/Lani's friendship and liked seeing them stand up for each other. I also wonder if JJ/Eli may start to get closer. It seemed like Eli wants to help JJ who is really spiraling right now. I am also glad to see that Kristen/Lani will return to Salem to try and reclaim their lives.

 

I also liked the scenes with Chad/Gabi. I think that Chad does a good job of dealing with Gabi. He's done a better job than other people have like Eli, Lani, and even Stefan. I have always thought they had chemistry too. I think that Gabi has had the most chemistry with Stefan and Chad. And speaking of chemistry I think that I see some with Kate and Steve/Stefano, lol. We did get some flashbacks today on how she discovered that he Stefano had taken over Steve's body and I wonder where this will go. I do think they would look good together, though I really do enjoy Steve/Kayla.  I am interested in seeing what happens when Kayla finds out what is going on.

The whole Stefano is alive with Steve's face has to end. It's ridiculous. The actor has passed and it's time for Days to put this character to rest. Does Days not have other villains that could return with the original actor? 

 

JJ/Kristen/Lani/Eli......zzzzzzzzzzz

Pill popping scruffy JJ is simply adorable. The sets are cheap. The writing is trash. It would've been nice if they showed a couple of nuns. Trying to talk JJ out of killing Kristen. Some different camera angles, some fog. The scenes were so blah and generic. We still don't know the whole story about bland af Haley's death.

Kristen and Lani were sure committed to the church...not really. Kristen will certainly fight hard to take back her life, but Lani will probably still get steamrolled by Gabi for a while longer. All Gabi has to do is pull out her phone and Lani will back off.

 

JJ just didn't come off as threatening at all.

As stupid as it was for Kristen and Lani to become nuns, SH and SS really do act well together. I hope the Kristen/Lani friendship continues once they get back to Salem.

 

And also, that's a hell no on Stephen Nichols trying to do a Joe Mascolo/Stefano accent lol

I agree and in all honesty, if they want to keep Kristen on the canvas in the long-term they can't just have her be batshit crazy 24/7. A friendship with someone "normal" like Lani could ground her a bit, plus it could also help give Lani some edge, so it seems like a win-win for both characters development.

Kristen and Lani initially reminded me of when RC put OLTL's Marty and Kim together during the blizzard on Llantano Mountain lolol.  They're the hit of the TJ for me.

 

And even though it was done to connect JJ and Kristen, I'm glad they remembered Kristen/Jennifer finally.  Although, it's so hard to imagine anyone having a normal conversation with Kristen after everything lol.  That's why this very extreme nun situation worked for me--it reset a DiMera criminal and Carver cop to actually have a very nice, completely surprising relationship.

    • Was Blake the product of Roger raping Holly, or did that come after when they were a couple?
    • I really wish we could see that episode...absolutely, my memory could be faulty, it was a very long time ago. I'm not going to contradict what the actors said--there has to be a reason it made them so uncomfortable that they talked about it in the press and complained to TPTB. I think that was the first one where they made the point that they wanted to educate the audience about the subject.
    • I just did with GL and its made me very happy!

          Oh yes, trying to get into any soap from scratch starting post-2010 would be hard. I prefer to go back to the good ol' days, before the decline. 
    • Can we talk about how iconic the 1994 tornado was on AMC? I was scanning through old episodes last night and came across this episode. The tornado was epic and the storylines/aftermath were so good (Julia's scar/Noah!; Jenny/Ray/Nola/Jesse in heaven with Tad, etc).  For 1994, these special effects and budget for this big event were amazing. 10 out of 10!  The only thing missing is Erica!  I can't recall where Erica was at the time, but I really wish she had been involved in this storyline.

    • On the way to her own engagement party? I've read that the show had trouble getting the audience to sympathize with Rita, but...that seems bizarre. Maybe I can understand the issue with the censors, given that at the time, rape wasn't depicted the way it is now, and marital rape was even less acknowledged.  Wasn't Chris Brooks' rape one of the first honest stories on the subject? I just don't think I could get into a show I didn't have a working knowledge of. I know it's a different era, but I really tried to get into GH once Maura West joined, but it just never jelled.
    • Yes it was! My mom and I convinced my dad to get one. He was--how shall I put this?--on the thrifty side, but one day he came home with one as a surprise. To this day, I'm convinced it fell off a truck. (He knew people with "connections."

      ) BUT, we had our VCR and we could watch our soaps. That thing lasted forever! It was built like a tank. Even when we got new ones with more features, we kept that one.

        Blasphemy!  (Haha, I get it.  But, you should try watching AMC! 80s-90s was so good.)
    • I thought about saying how I resented the fact that those two newbies were tripping up the Puppetmaster of all Puppetmasters, when the best others could do was a stalemate (or less...). But, well...*sigh*
    • I read years ago that both Zaslow and Lenore both complained that it came off as a seduction because of CBS censors, so Lenore asked if she could say, "you raped me" to leave no doubt with the audience, and that Zaslow insisted that Holly's rape played realistically 
    • Wow it’s official, Gatwa is out… https://www.avclub.com/ncuti-gatwa-addresses-doctor-who-finale-statement DW fandom on Reddit is in a furor over how things went down and apparent last minute scrapping of the original ending. Also…Billie Piper again really?
