and thought it was pretty good, and has a fantastic cast.  Since it’s a limited series, I guess, like every new show, it will depend on ratings.  But, I have to wonder …. smart of them to debut it in an election year or not?  I’m not quite sure.  People still have, and will continue to have strong opinions (on both sides of the aisle) relating to scandalous government and the lives of its officials.  I liked it, though!

is that he never sees the inherent characteristics between him and his parents.  He truly is his parents’ son, yet no one seems to realize this but E.J.  Will is a carbon copy of Sami, yet also has many of Lucas’ traits as well.  In his earlier years, Will was quiet and reserved and preferred to run away from his parents rather than get his feelings out.  Now that he has become a young man, his actions speak otherwise.  He is a combination of the two of them and his explosive yet destructive attitude proves just how much he is their son.  He, too, is self destructive, yet explosive when he’s backed into a corner or caught in a dangerous situation.  It seems the only people he respects are Marlena and Roman.  I loved when Roman grabbed him, preventing him from going to E.J. with the fact that the police now have the letter.  He actually strong-armed Will, demanding his cell phone so he couldn’t call E.J. and give him a head’s up.  Will’s disrespect for Sami and Lucas may be justified for some, but not to me.  Every time Will explodes on Sami and/or Lucas, it just testifies to the fact that he is exactly like his parents.  They all need family counseling, that’s for sure!

Right or wrong, I would like to see it play out this way.  Looks like you’ve got a good bead on this, BrandyRose.  I also would imagine that the contract players who are represented by the stunt doubles are the ones who are seriously hurt.  I think Jason said there were 15 stunt doubles.  I’m most anxious to see what happened in the warehouse as well.  Why does Sami have a bandage on her head.  I know one of the explosions rocks the warehouse and Sami falls off the catwalk, but is hanging on for dear life.  This is where E.J. attempts to save her.  Okay, I’m waiting for all the "fall and die, Sami" comments now!

but, believe me, I won’t miss one day of the Olympics.  Rooting for my home boy, Michael Phelps, again this summer.  I think he needs 3 more medals to be the highest athlete EVER to win that many medals.  And this is his grand finale.  He’s already said this will be his last Olympics.  GO, MICHAEL!!!!!

I’m glad she made it.  Under no circumstance would I want her to walk on this.  You can’t unring a bell, and it’s way too late to say I’m sorry.  Let’s see what happens to her, though.  Probably nothing, if Melanie is leaving anyway.  Hell, she’ll probably wind up with the prize she was going after.  If anybody’s an idiot, it’s Chad.

and the warehouse with the catwalk has nothing to do with the the fundraiser, the wedding, or the kidnapping.  It’s the set for E.J., Sami, Sydney, Johnny and Will.  Let me guess.  The building holds E.J.’s jet and he knows by now that he is trapped, because Alice’s letter revealing that E.J. is not Stefano’s bio-son is now in the hands of the S.P.D., so Sami, in all her stupidity, decides to take the kids to say goodbye when he plans his escape?  Close, maybe?????

What I don’t understand is why in the hell is Brady in the tunnels looking for Melanie when he’s supposed to be marrying Madison above ground?  Can’t wrap my head around that one.
