Too Little to Say Much

This was a rough week team JaSam, but we made it through.  We all knew going into this week there would be very little Jason and Sam due to the Brendamaina.  But Brenda has arrived on our screens now, lets hope they tone down the over-blown hype and just let the true Brenda shine through.  I don't want to give the impression I hate Brenda. On the contrary, she was a  hoot back in her day and I was a fan.  But I am having a hard time getting back into the Brenda groove just yet.  I had hoped the writers would ease us back into Brenda kind of how the eased us back into Robin's return in 05 but I am starting to doubt there will be any easing with Brenda's return. 

But enough about Brenda, let's focus on the positive and reason we keep watching, JaSam.  Though our time with our favorite couple was brief it was still magical this week.  I was a little disappointed Jason didn't rush into the visiting room and grab Sam's hands passionately like he has before. But he did look at her with that hunger in his eyes so all was not lost.  Then Sam began to explain  her plan, his reaction was classic.  He wasn't about to let Sam compromise herself for him no matter what.  Sam is very self sufficient and probably better at running a con then anyone around but Jason would not have her let some possibly morally corrupt judge lay a hand on her ever.  Not to mention the whole legal issue, he wasn't having it.  It was sweet, he would rather waste his days in prison then ever let anyone touch Sam.  While I see Jason's side completely, I see Sam's too.  She feels powerless in this situation and this plan is a way to try to get some control and possibly get Jason out of prison.  She is afraid that they will never let Jason out of prison so she wants to do anything she can for them to be together.  But it was also incredibly sweet how Jason called Spinelli to try to help him get through to Sam to protect her from herself.  But Sam is just about as stubborn as Jason, when she gets her mind made up she generally doesn't back down.  Of course, for once I have to say thank goodness for Sonny and his overactive sperm.  I think Claire is playing Sonny just as much as he is playing her but who cares if it gets Jason out of prison then I am happy for once.  This is probably the first selfless thing Sonny has done in a long time.  Score one for Sonny!

I am so glad Monday Jason and Sam will be reunited and no more prison for a while.  I can't wait until Monday and the weeks to follow as the Jason and Sam story line heats up.
