Playing a bit of catch up, in addition to a generally busy weeks this last week, the CW DC shows had the first 3/5ths of its hotly anticipated Crisis on Infinite Earths event, which is a dumpster fire in its own right, but Jesus, the Arrowverse still has nothing on Days of Our Lives....
Where to start....?
Oh, Kate knows about Stev-ano? Why is it so hard for this show to do flashbacks when they compose 50% of any given episode; and probably closer to 75% since the year jump? It's just all fucking exposition and no nuance, no subtlety. Two characters meet up, revealing to the audience that they've been secretly meeting up off screen for an undisclosed amount of time and inexplicably feel the need to reminisce in exact detail how that came to be. At this rate they shouldn't have even bothered jumping a year ahead, if they're going to be so blunt in showing what happened anyway.
And I've said it before, but Kate waitressing at the Brady Pub is really fucking stupid. There's no reason for her to do it; it's not like before where she was down on her luck, she just up and decides she's had enough of corporate life and Roman randomly asks her to work there.
What might have made sense would have been to reveal that sometime in the last year they had gotten back together, maybe married, and Kate had decided to help him run the family business. At least then when Gabby copped an attitude, Kate could have clapped back as one of the owners and told her if she wasn't happy with the service, to get the fuck out.
Of course then they couldn't do whatever the hell they're doing with Kate and Stevano, which would be... a shame.....
This whole bullshit with Kristen and Lani becoming nuns was already stupid and the conclusion is even worse. What was the point? We've barely seen them, they haven't interacted with anyone else at the convent; they hardly even interacted with other characters and now they're just up and leaving because one confrontation with a drugged up JJ and a gun made them think twice about taking their vows.
You gotta love how suddenly both Lani and Kristen started swearing just to really sell how they were definitely no longer becoming nuns.
And why the hell did they have to be....whatever this convent was? How likely is it that two women from the same hometown would randomly join the same convent in another country at the same time?
To the best of my knowledge I've never encountered a drug addict, at least not while they're struggling with their addiction or in need of a fix, but I'm skeptical as to the likelihood that this would be expressed by them saying, "I need a pill."
Like, what kind of pill do you need JJ? Any specific type of pill? You didn't seem too choosy at the hospital the other day; maybe a Lipator or Viagra might help smooth you over? Hell, someone give him a tic tac and see if he notices.
Eli really is the worst fucking detective/security person. On top of everything else, he somehow took an overseas private flight with a drug addict of a stowaway, who also managed to get a hold of Eli's gun.
Like, where the hell was JJ hiding on this private Dimera jet all the way to fucking Rome? It's an 11 hour flight from Chicago to Rome; are we to believe that JJ didn't eat or use the bathroom the entire trip?
