after the poorly done scene you could not tell if ej was trying to use sami as human shield or sami using herself as shield to ej was i the only thought the cops had clear to shot ej and ej could not really run since he will stay away from sami which can not loger be use as shield and it be easier to cops to shot i know they probaly want to put both ej and sami on the frame i think the problem because after that its not believable sami as shield since the cops had clear shot to shot ej without harimg sami Posted Image TFP the pic
:wub: the peak at JS' chest
I really like the way EJ is looking at her; he is shocked that she is doing this for him.

I saw the show and Lysie will be happy as there is a Kate and Lucas scene.....lol....IMHO THOSE were the highlight of the show for me, I can never get enough of Kate and Lucas...give me more of that and I'll be really, really happy....that and surprisingly the Melanie tunnel stuff...I thought those scenes were very, very well done. Believable in all aspects, from the staging and the dark lighting to the suspense of it all. Those worked. Kate not mentioning Cassie and Rex....I guess another hint that we will NEVER see those two again....now can they please cast Alexis Thorpe as a love interest for BD's Lucas.... please, lol.
Anyway.....WTF was up with Ali's timing....it does look like she was suppose to jump up in front of EJ when Roman kept threatening Ej with the gun....but she didn't....to me it seems like SHE missed the mark. Since the scenes before and after hinted that she wanted him to run, and spoilers called for her 'jumping' in front of him when Roman pulled out his gun, that is clearly not the way it played out so much.... To me what was suppose to happen is once Roman kept threatening Ej with the gun, Sami stood up as she did, Ej put his hand out to stop her from moving in front of him, but Sami SHOULD have slapped his hand away or shoved it away to 'jump' in front of him...that is not what happened. Instead, it looks like he grabs her and shoves her in front of him....lol.....bad, bad scene...
Overall, very underwhelming episode...the explosions happened way too fast and the entire episode seemed like a rushed attempt to get something up for the Friday before the Olympics hiatus...that is exactly what it amounts to. yes it been over 2 months since seen lucas and kate solo scene and its been the ighlight of the show for me to btw as clifhanger episode its sucks because it made me wish the olympic games will never when it suppose to be opposite as clifhanger episode

yes it been over 2 months since seen lucas and kate solo scene and its been the ighlight of the show for me to btw as clifhanger episode its sucks because it made me wish the olympic games will never when it suppose to be opposite as clifhanger episode There are many things MarDar sucked at but at the top of that list is interact characters that SHOULD have interacted. Kate and Lucas is one example...Lucas and Carrie and Lucas and Austin where others....how can Austin and Carrie leave and at least Austin not say bye to Lucas....

I agree with you about Kate & Lucas. I enjoy those two in scenes together and think it's ridiculous that they aren't together more.

The last Lucas and Kate scenes were last week when she pointed out to Lucas that EJ is the sun in Sami's orbit. that why i said solo not they had 2 scenes since may which both was in last 2 weeks may and mostly in group of people like jarlena and Ian and brady and madison and was use to prop ej stroyline at least this scene was semi about them and not in group and was not only to prop someone else storyline taht why i did not count these scenes

BTW, cliff hangars drive me crazy. Back when Star Trek Voyager was on...I was always trying to get the scoop of what was going to happen. I am scouring the net looking for clues about who buys the dirt farm after the explosions. So far not a lot of Luck.
;) Thumbs up for the Star Trek Voyager... love Star Trek! :rockon:

Wait, so EJ used Sami as a human shield to block a bullet meant for him? LOLOL
The pushing and pulling between them made it look a bit weird, but NO, Sami put herself infron of him and if the scene itself was not clear enough, the ones before and after sure cleared it up. EJ was trying to keep Sami hidden and she got up while he tried to pull her back and when she got in front of him she REFUSED to move and instructed him to run. So there really is very little room for confusion in what they were intending to convery. Sami put herself between EJ and Roman and EJ tried to stop her doing it. :wub: He tried to stop her for about two seconds then remained behind her until the explosion.

I also thought it looked like EJ pulled Sami in front to use as a shield, she resisted at first, then went along with it.
Should a cop really be threatening to shoot an unarmed man? 1)Didn't Roman say something like "Don't move or I will shoot. " which is standard cop dialogue? 2)With EJ's history and Roman's belief that EJ killed Stefano,Roman would be justified in assuming EJ was armed.Roman even told officers looking for EJ that EJ was likely armed and dangerous.

This is killing me not watching the show today was hard for me. I cannot wait until this Olymic Break is over. I just know that the aftermath is better than the actual explosions we get to see who survived, even though I am prety sure I know who will not make it out alive. We also get to see some Salemites being heroic and saving their loved ones though it may cost some of them their lives.
I can't wait til August 13th. I have seen some pictures from the explosion in different soap magazines and that got me even more excited.

Well, spoilers have been frequently wrong or not shown as written. So my point is you don't get those details from a write up. You have to watch if you want an accurate picture. That's all.
I agree with the above posts.The differing opinions in this thread of what was actually shown on screen and the above posts are the very reason I watch the show.I have occasionally changed my opinion as to what was shown after reading someone else's opinion then re-watching the episode.How do you know how well the writers are doing when you don't see the gestures,hear the tone of voice,or see the actors as lines are being delivered?

The ballroom explosions looked god, but could care less a chandelier was falling on Dr. Egg. Bring it on. Now I call a catwalk a narrow walkway a hundred feet up or so, not a storage loft in a garage where Sami falls a foot and a half when she is let go. Could they not have dug up some old earthquake footage and show the ground opening up and have Sami dangling over hot lava or a raging river? Only two people I would be conerned about and they are Abby and Nicole. I think Andrew should stay and be the new Heather Webber.

Looking at the gifs of EJ grabbing Sami - unless you're somebody who pauses, watches the scene on a slowmotion frame by frame loop and screen caps it, the GA isnt going to see July 27th as EJ using Sami as a human shield. It looks like a mis-step and small choreograped bloop moment. I don't doubt there was chaos shooting those scenes that day. So LOTS of thing in slowmotion could look weird.
Bottom line NBC, Soapnet, NTV, Global does not air the show in slowmotion, and the GA doesn't watch the show like we do and create gifs and screen caps of EJ and Sami.

I missed the show do much today I spent the afternoon reading some fan fics, not a bad substitute. Then I rewarched this epi about 10 times. I saw something new almost every time. I still love EJ and Sami saving each other. Her putting herself between daddy's gun and EJ is awesome! By the way, I love the gifs you all made of that moment. Thanks!

So why didn't Brady just call Madison or John or Marlena and let them know what he was up to? Details, details.....

Idk what you guys see but I see Sami defending her man and putting herself in the line of fire. If I didn't know any better I would have thought you guys were ejami fans. Either way, I'm liking the gifs too. ^_^

I saw EJ pull her in front of him and she remained standing exactly where he placed her. That was what I saw the first time I watched it and also the second time. Sami knows her father is not going to shoot her once he sees her standing there so, it was no great sacrifice on her part to stay in position to prevent him from shooting.

Its not so much the danger to Sami, but the gesture. She did not have to do what she did, EJ did not expect her to, yet she did it anyway. Sami could have stayed hidden and avoided the inevitable conflict with her family, yet she used the fact that they were family to help EJ. Pretty powerful IMO, especially from someone who spent so long vying for approval. :wub:

Where the hell was the director when this scene was shot? Because I could personally punch him in the face for doing such a poor job with it and inadvertently creating yet another morally ambiguous moment involving Sami Brady that will no doubt be dissected, analyzed and debated down to the subatomic level until the end of time.
