Days of our Lives
Highlights
Steve!
“Stephanie is my friend, and her Mom is my sister!” The words you’re looking for there Max are “niece” and “uncle”. Why is this a highlight? First, because I thought for a moment there Max wasn’t going to stand up for his friend/ex-girlfriend/niece while Jeremy was being a complete ass, but finally he did. Second, because the verbal gymnastics required to try and stand up for her on the basis of their many-layered relationship without using the words “niece” and “uncle” took a great deal of skill: 8.2 for that triple twist with pike, Max. Also, you know Jeremy is evil/a jerk because he said the dreaded “n” word. No one brings up the Uncle-dating Jeremy, no one!
Marlena actually being a mother, caring, supportive and rational with Sami. And keeping the gasping to a minimum (though maybe she was gasping but I was just so distracted by her otherwise acting like a human being that I didn’t notice. Either way, we’re good).
Lowlights
When I first saw Jeremy in his uniform I instantly saw why The Wreck Center had gone on an Airplane-related trip down memory lane. There were only two places to go with that: Airplane (useless trivia: Airplane was/is called Flying High here in Aus) or this:

Ok, ok, I was looking for a picture of Ken in the pilot’s uniform, I’m sure they must exist, but this is the closest I could get without spending hours searching. Plus, you know, “Ken in Switzerland” is rather funny. And who needs a picture of Ken in the pilot’s uniform when you have this:
They really, really should never put Jeremy in that uniform. Or have him call Steph “a doll” while wearing it.
Sami may have learned her DNA test switching lessons, but Kate, in a rather bald-faced manner, clearly hasn’t learned hers. And it’s boring. And unhelpful to Nick. But mainly just boring.
Could anyone, anyone, on this show please figure out how to pronounce the name Colleen correctly? It’s not that hard people of varying accents, not that hard: Col-eeeen. Not Cow-leeen, or Co-leeen. Sheesh.
How do they get through a whole episode of Sami finding out she’s having twins, a boy and a girl no less, and not mention that she’s a twin herself?
Oh, god, Stephanie, what is wrong with you? I know you were rather whiney when you had red hair, but at least you had some semblance of a spine.
If I were a DiMera I would not be touching Touch the Sky with a barge pole. Even for nefarious activities.
If I were a DiMera I would not be having family arguments in front of Steven Earl Johnson.
Other Fashion
Why was Kate wearing a curtain under her jacket?
Why did Max’s otherwise perfectly reasonable jacket have a giant screen-painted something on the back? (See above)
Got to love Tony in jeans and a puff-sleeved shirt.

Did you notice on Jeremy his hair matched the bars on his sleeves? I did.
Thank you for explaining the proper pronunciation of Colleen. Now, if only they will read it and learn from it.
