Recaps: Days of Our Lives: Yet Another Foreign
Accented Knave Wreaks Havoc in Salem

post from TVgasm Blog on 26 December 2006 11:06:58 PM. © TVgasm Blog

So, where were we? Oh yes. I promised you last week to give you a further update on the craziness that is Days of Our Lives. I wanted to give everybody an update, but I was told that I should wait a couple of episodes because some very interesting things would be revealed. Therefore, without further ado, let us catch up a little with all the shit that is going down in Salem. When I last left you, I had filled you in on a lot of the back-story and introduced you to the gloved hand. I am not sure what it is with Days, but it always seems that if they need to perpetuate a crazy conspiracy, it always involves an anonymous person wearing a black glove. We always see the black glove and wonder what the hell is going on. In the end, the person causing all of the trouble is invariably somebody with a foreign accent. This person with a foreign accent usually had been living in Salem as an upstanding individual with nary a thought made to any possible malfeasance.Actually, that is not true, because at least half the time the evil mastermind is a DiMera, and they are never welcome in Salem, and the other half of the time the people are being paid off by the DiMeras. Look up the story line to "Princess Gina" and you will see what I mean. This time around, there is only one person who fits the foreign accent/ living peacefully among the population stereotype, and his name is EJ Wells. True to form, EJ was shown to be the person behind all of the gloved hand escapades, but we weren't quite sure what his overall motive was. The only indication he has given as to what his end game might be is when he told Kate Roberts that he wanted Sami Brady to have his baby. I understand that Sami has come quite a long way since her early days on the show, but EJ has done some crazy shit, including killing a police officer. There are a lot of risks that I would take to find the love of my life, but the consequences of killing an officer transcend true love, no? Public humiliation? Sure. Lethal injection? Not so much.Does EJ have another, more sensible motive for coming to Salem and harassing the Bradys? John and Marlena went to Italy to find out. And while they were in Italy, they decided to get married. Why were they not married at the time? Well, not too long ago, Marlena was implicated as the Salem Stalker, who had been killing people all around town. Of course, it wasn't Marlena; that would be ludicrous! No, it was Tony DiMera. He was faking a bunch of deaths in Salem and taking these people to a deserted island. To do what? Well, I was not really paying attention at the time, but Tony was sent to jail, although I am sure he will be come back soon enough.Marlena was under a lot of stress because of the Salem Stalker and the aftermath, and she had a little bit of a psychotic episode, and she and John split up. Now, it would seem that it might be difficult for Marlena, as a psychiatrist, to bounce back from a meltdown like this, but she has gone through worse. What is a little bit of crazy when you have already stood in the ring against demonic possession, and won?While John and Marlena were getting married in Italy, and we were dealing with what was perhaps the worst Italian accent EV-AR this side of a Prego commercial courtesy of the priest that married them, they bumped into one of Stefano's associate's. This guy, who also had a bad Italian accent, but gets a pass because the priest was so much worse, told the newlyweds that there was nothing to see here, Tony is in jail and Stefano is dead, yada, yada, you better leave Italy now.As I mentioned before, Stefano has faked his death multiple times, so John and Marlena couldn't just take this guy's word for it. They check the DiMera family tomb, and find no Stefano where a Stefano should be. They check the hospital, and after a small interrogation, we learn that Mr. EJ Wells is the son of none other than Stefano DiMera. It was sort of an obvious twist, but what can you do?So, where does that leave us? As the noose tightens around EJ, he is starting to get a little worried. His final mission is to kill John Black, and after a little cameo appearance from Clay Aiken today, we should find out what's shakin later this week.

Model Minority Report

One of the primary purposes of this site, in addition to complaining about excessive recaps of Veronica Mars and Eureka episodes on other TV blogs, is to extol the successes of South Asians in the fields of media and entertainment. Yeah, I know. Mad cliche, you're thinking. This Indian dude sweats other Indians who've actually made it in the biz with the hopes that one of them will solicit a spec script or at least introduce him to Sarita Chowdhury's breasts. Yeah, that's about right on the money.

Indians are like kinda almost something of anything in the 'Wood.

To honor my intentions of South Asian solidarity, I pause before commenting on the Writer's Guild Award nominations to draw individual attention to a couple South Asians who scored big in '06.

EPISODIC COMEDY ? any length ? one airing time

Jump for Joy (My Name is Earl), Written by Vali Chandrasekaran; NBC

COMEDY SERIES

The Office, Written by Steve Carell, Jennifer Celotta, Greg Daniels, Lee Eisenberg, Brent Forrester, Ricky Gervais, Mindy Kaling, Paul Lieberstein, Stephen Merchant, B.J. Novak, Michael Schur, Justin Spitzer, Gene Stupnitsky; NBC

Yeah, we all know about Mindy Kaling. That chick from Curb and 40YOV who sold all those scripts to like Search Light or something, but she's no Tina Fey so I'm not really going to worry about it. Check out Vali's blog, however, maybe find your way to his McSweeney's posts, his Crimson columns, and make up your mind for yourself whether he's the real deal or just some financial consultant who got bored with his job in San Fran and decided to try his hand at this whole being funny thing.
