I used to say that I thought the guys at Mythbusters had the coolest job ever becasue they get to blow shit up all fucking day long. How cool is that?

I have since decided that I believe Allison Sweeney has the best job on earth, and her husband must be one hell of a lucky motherfucker to get his horny ass wife home to juice him up!

For fuck sake, if I had to work with JS all day in those circumstances I'd leave a snail trail everywhere I went and be walking around hunching the air. DAMMIT!

Lucky woman, all I have to say.
Post of the DAY!

The glove and camera thing bugs the crap out of me and has from the time it was spoiled. I agree that it makes EJ look guilty of something - why throw away gloves that turn out to have gun powder residue on them? We know he wanted to avoid giving them any circumstantial evidence - but it clearly makes him look guilty. Of course, the fact that Abe saw him at the DiMansion that night shooting the sconces could also come in to play - but we haven't exactly seen Abe jumping up to tell the cops what he saw, despite the fact that everyone knows Abe was there and left his gun.

Then finding the gloves taped behind a painting in his apartment? How the hell does that NOT look like a set up to anyone with eyes? Why would the killer not only keep the gloves but bother to hide them behind a painting? Why not in a box? Or drawer? Or gee...just get rid of them? It's so stupid.

It would have made much more sense for Sami to notice security cameras hanging in the hallway to the apartment building and suggesting to EJ they check the tapes to see if anyone can be seen breaking into his apartment. Problem solved. :rolleyes:

But at the end of the day - as stupid as this is written, it's just par for the course. As someone else said it's no more unbelievable than watching Daniel, Maggie and Nicole pouring through potential evidence in Melanie's kidnapping at the police station. Or the poster prominently displaying the suspects in Stefano's murder for all to see. Or everyone and their brother finding out and believing EJ is not a blood DiMera based on a letter written by Alice years ago. Writing believable, sensible beats in stories has been lacking from this show for a very long time - both before and during MarDar's tenure.
Hey SocR,

Can we get you to proof read the scripts, we could get some improvement there.

A camera in the hall is just a much better idea.

I thought that Sami might just stand up to be his alabi.

(Could Ej have been helping to send Stefano off to Italy that night?)

I mentioned this on Twitter earlier, but I think that instead of having Sami help EJ prove he's not guilty, they should have had her help him cover his actual guilt. That'd have been way more in character for both of them and would have been better than some stupid cameras.

Is anything else on besides Ejami? I am watching a clip and keep rewinding it.
Did you really want anything else on?

Omg. I just watched the Ejami scenes again. That has to be the hottest thing I''ve seen since 2007. Mercy! The best part was EJ's swagger at the end--I agree with all who have it! It's all so 50 Shades!

Dare I say it, but I actually liked the EJ/Sami scenes today. IMO, THIS is how they should be written and I thought they each played off of their *difficult* past (to say the least) well. My primary problem with the pairing has never been the chemistry (which, to be honest, is quite often not utilized appropriately, but was really focused on today), but the sheer amount of WTFery and violence drenching any potential pairing. Of course, it's never helped them that TPTB have never seemed to be able to make up their minds what the hell they want to do with them. I swear there's a giant "Wheel of Fanbases" in the writers room and the simply give it a spin every so often & where it lands is what direction they write the story. I do have to say that little speach by Sami about her and EJ's relationship was quite possibly the most accurate, most succinct description of the couple I've ever seen on screen. IMO, they need to copy that monologue and attach it to the official couple breakdown the writers use.
SO. MUCH. THIS.

Once I fall for a couple, I tend to be pretty loyal, so I never un-fell for Ejami. But with the shit writing for them the last 4 years, my passion for them had significantly diminished. But then we get scenes like today that showcase their chemistry AND are actually written well, and I'm in love all over again. What baffles me is that Days has fabulous chemistry between the actors that the show seems to views as its two main characters and they've squandered it for years with stories of rape, kidnapping and attempted murder. I'm all for angst, in fact, I love angst. But the writing for Ejami has been absurd and such a waste, especially when you see what this couple is capable of when written well.

Lots of hair and wardrobe issues today. What is up the the fall clothes? John was wearing a jacket! Kate had a ridiculous fall outfit on, and Sami's hair looked like total shit. What a hot mess. Speaking of hair, anyone notice Will rub his gloved hands through his hair after digging through garbage??

Christie looked really good today though. I love her hair.

Today's show was just okay. I did like John confronting Ian.

Those are some of the same things that I said whilw watching today.

Sami's hair did look a mess.
Why the hell was John (though I love him) wearing a jacket in the summer time and not just any kind a heat drawing black jacker to boot and he was inside for some of the episode whne he had it on. Loved the confortation with Ian.

Oh don't even get me started on thise bright as hell stockings that Kate had on today. The outfit was okay, but then the stockings just messed it all up.

What did Will and Sonny have on their hands looked like some of Caroline's oven mitts.
