Aw, so heartwarming to see Brady sincerely apologizing to Deimos and thanking him for everything he did. He's so nice and compassionate and caring ... To everyone but his Black family :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Drop dead Brady, and take that screeching banshee with ya.

Run or they'll die? Is the bomb attached to anyone?

LOL at the expression on Marlena's face at the end. She didn't seem the least bit alarmed that John was looking at something under the table.

Why is being with Aiden better than going to jail for Hope?
Because she's a self-centered drama queen who thrives on this bs? I'm sure once she realizes that she could play martyr in jail she's going to want to go.
I swear - can't one resident of Salem steal this language from "The Ref" and use it on Hope? It would be so damn satisfying.

I would seriously be okay with Stefano coming back from the dead for the 93rd time if it meant that this ridiculous Aiden/Hope/Rafe story would be over. Not even interactions with Marlena and Jennifer can make Hope watchable for me.

This episode is dragging. I can't believe they managed to make a prison break story dull.

It should have us on the edge of our seats. Looking forward to seeing what happens next.

I know I saw it somewhere where the bomb was attached to Jennifer.

Today is a prime example of why this show has to write within budget. This is the first time since the huge budget cut of 2008 that I felt like the show was far too ambitious in scope in terms of what they were doing. The ironic thing is that Dena is usually known for writing within budget so this is pretty surprising. I don't need every single thing to be shown but to have so much going on (explosions, riots, looting, etc) and to not show it takes you right out of the story. It's just too much to ask the viewer to ignore and it hurts the urgency and stakes of the story. The only time so far I have felt any stakes is during the chaos when Abe was shot.

That is where the serial killer story of last Fall has this story beat. That kind of story can work within this budget. This show can't do large scale supervillain plots. It's one reason why I had no issue with them focusing more on the Dimera's as a mob family rather than continuing the way they were before. Having said that, this prisoner story is doing a good job of utilizing everyone and in terms of interactions. It's also doing a good job of setting up future story (which I imagine is the purpose behind it because it certainly isn't to tell a story that has implications beyond setup).

I liked alot of today. The Xander stuff with Deimos was the best thing they have done with Deimos in months. Hopefully, that leads to something. I liked the stuff at the Pub with Marlena,Hope, and Jennifer. The Aiden story sucks but I like that we finally have Jennifer and Hope in scenes and now Marlena too.

I really like what they are doing with Chad and Gabi.

They were pretty stupid to pick up the Deimos/Nicole/Xander stuff today rather than Thursday of last week. Lost too much momentum there, although they are doing better with stuff like this.

I am actually looking forward to moving beyond this story with the prisoners. I expect stories more suitable for the budget and I think that can only help.

The boy saw the comet and he felt as though his life had meaning.

So Moron thanks Deimos but doesn't thank his parents who actually came up with the plan in the first place?

Someone should've let Brady go after Xander just so we could watch Xander beat his pathetic ass to a pulp!!!

Oh yea and I was glad Gabi remembered Julie hates her, but Gabi acting like Julie's harassing her and making HER feel uncomfortable is bullshit.
Everything happens offscreen on this dreck of a show. Maybe Julie is harrassing Gabi offscreen? :blulaugh:

Seriously. All Julie does is snark about Gabi to JJ, i don't get what Gabi was whinning about lol.
Julie is always making her feel bad BOO HOO.

Hmm wonder how it jumps onto Jenifer from under the table? That might be fun to see. Why Orpheus would want to put a bomb on Jennifer is all kinds of WTF. Shouldn't it go on Marlena so he can get revenge on John? Is John suppose to end up on his knees begging Orpheus to save Jennifer, his soulmate? Yea, that's the kind of epic Orpheus return I was waiting decades for... :facepalm: :rolleyes: :blink:

LOL Marlena being the off camera task master asking Hope to stop sitting on her ass and come help her. ;)
Marlena is a precious angel.

Jen, stop worrying about your killer cousin, Hope Brady. She wasn't there for you and you shouldn't be there for her. She did the crime and should pay for what she did instead of being protected by you or anyone else.
