Sami saying "I will pdf them to you" sounded very strange to me....I have never used PDF as a verb to mean send (or convert and send). Let me excel spready that to you! I wonder if she is very familiar with PDFs.
LOL, me either. And I work as an IT consultant with several clients. Now I want to start using verbs for all formats: "I'll flash video that over to you" "PNGing to you now." "I already DOCed that."
Lol yeah I noticed this too. I actually thought it was kinda fun :blulaugh: I think I'm gonna start using terms such as those now :blulaugh:
yeah I just thought it sounded so silly and wrong....like she thought it was a real thing to say that. Or she thinks she is starting a trend, which I think is even worse. Sami annoys me a lot, you see.... lol. I might start saying "I will JPEG that right over to you" for shits and giggles though, hehheh.

And if she had said "I will PDF it for you", that I could understand as meaning converting a file to a PDF. Make sense. The inclusion of "to" to indicate sending is what threw me off, lol. But I should not be scrutinizing semantic structures like this when I am sure the script writers don't put half as much thought into their dialogue :)

I rewound it three times to make sure :)
Where? All I heard him say was "Gabi took Ari out".
Nope, he said ARIEL.
Wow, yeah, I'm with stormymac. I didn't hear that at all. I very clearly hear him saying "Gabi took Ari out."

Yes, I know the writing for Nicole is horrible at the moment, but my heart still broke for her when she took off the engagement ring and opened the door to Eric with that sad look on her face.

Damn it, Ari. You deserve so much better than this shitty storyline.

The only difference between him and an ape is I actually like apes.

I'll have to watch it again, but maybe you're right and "Ari out" sounded like Ariel to me :D

Well, 15 minutes in and this is a good episode... minus Daniel and his closest groupies.
Daniel/Nicole/Eric/Jennifer = FF so not worth watching. It is just the same thing over & over...

Sammi's hair looks a little better today although it is the same Salem Day. It does not look as greasy.

Will suspects Sonny and Sonny suspects Will. I wish they would tell each other the truth = neither one did it. Loved all their scenes.

Kate and Lucas scenes were good. Loved when she found the gun was missing.

Somehow this episode was a little bit better than the two previous ones. At least a tad. The normal background music was back, that was a good thing.

I liked all the investigation scenes. Especially the ones between Wilson. They're really getting some layers and supercouple storytelling here. And I'm scooping it all up, love it!!! :wub2: :P
WilSon makes the show tolerable to me. When they are not on the show just drags Imo.

Its weird that they write characters stating Sami is a great mother,then write her as acknowledging that Allie was so traumatized that she needed to see a therapist but deciding it is more important that she take care of a "work thing" than stay with her daughter and comforting her.She is the head of a department but she does not have an assistant who could bring material to her so she could work from home.Marlena gave Sami the card with the name of the therapist on it and the information so important to her that she referred to the therapist as "that woman" rather than by name or profession.She could easily have been written to refer to the person as "Allie's therapist".The writers don't even show Sami doing something so important that she had to leave Allie with EJ and Marleana.She appeared to know about her "work thing" when she was talking to Lucas.Why couldn't she ask Lucas to stay with Allie until she got back.The writers are not doing Sami any favors.
I hope they are not going to make the hitman so stupid that he tells Sami that he is not the one who killed Nick.Why would someone who murders people for a living be so scrupulous that he would let the client know he is not the person who murdered the person he contracted to kill? Even if he had not been paid in full,he could just ask for the remainder of the money,how would EJ know he did not kill Nick? Why would he contact Sami? The only person he spoke with was EJ.Its not likely EJ told the hitman that he and Sami wanted to hire him.EJ might not want Sami to know he hired a hitman.For all he knows he is giving Sami information she could use against EJ.I will wait until Monday to see how it plays out but after the idiocy displayed by Nicole,Sami,and EJ,I don't hold out much hope that the hit man will be intelligent.

I thought he showed a little bit of restraint today. He was not such a huff puff because he was going for feeling sorrow over Nicole's weak character. As her friend, there's not much he can do but be there for her. Such is the burden that Saint Daniel of Douchebagistan is forced to carry. Just like Atlas he's the one with the whole of Salem's problems on his shoulders.

Yeah, he actually backed off a little yesterday too. He must have realized that his bid for sainthood would be jeopardized if he left bruises on a former priest's fiancee.

It really is odd how Sami seemed to have to do some urgent business matter, that involved her calling EJ from the HTS and then calling a mystery client from the park. She couldn't call from home? Or have someone email out these urgent and elusive PDF files?

And yeah, she had to go as soon as Lucas left, so why she didn't tell Lucas that she had to leave make these PRESSING phone calls about town, I don't know. But, you know, Sami makes those concerned faces and rubs her daughter's head, so that's all the mothering one needs. I swear, I am so thrilled AS is leaving if it means never (or not for awhile) having to see those "look at me I am so concerned for my children" faces (scrunched face, sad eyes, tight lips, pitiful expression).

I am not sure about the hitman, the most scrupulous one this side of the Mighty Mississippi apparently. I am guessing he is getting pressured from someone else, Stefano maybe? LOL I am looking forward to seeing how that plot point tries to unfold itself.

Ari is so much better than this mess. I feel sorry for her and that her talent is being wasted.

I think she was supposedly coming back from what she was supposed to be doing and was updating the client. The whole thing is a contrived bulshit so that the stupid hitman can approach her.

Oy. This version of Will and Sonny is the worst :x I hope NuBen will be good.

Where are the vets? Victor, Kayla, John, Marlena, Abe, etc.?

The actors that play Victor, Kayla, & Abe are all on recurring status, so there's nothing forcing the show to utilize the characters. John we're gonna see this upcoming week, and Marlena's been on the last three days.

Thank you! I know Marlena has been some lately, but I wish all the others weren't on recurring. I would love to see a good storyline for Kayla. Mary Beth is definitely overdue.
