Retrograde amnesia is a type of amnesia in which someone is unable to recall events that occurred before the onset of amnesia. Retrograde amnesia results from damage to the brain regions which are closely associated with episodic/declarative memory: the medial temporal lobes and especially the hippocampus. Retrograde amnesia is usually caused by brain injury or disease. In this condition, individuals have trouble remembering events in their life that occurred before to the brain injury. These people do not lose all their memories, instead the memory loss is terrible for events that occured just before the injury; events from long ago are more likely to be safe. For example, if a man developed retrograde amnesia in middle age, he might have excellent memory for his childhood, nearly complete memories of young adulthood, and progressively less memory for the years leading up to his brain injury. Let's take Sagar for example here. There have been reports of persons with memory disorders being unable to remember that they are married, if the marriage took place shortly before the brain injury that caused the amnesia. Currently, there is no known way to restore memories which have been lost through retrograde amnesia. Well, there are other ways, but a permanent, definite treatment for retrograde amnesia is still being researched.
My question lies in that last sentence that I wrote. Atleast from my research and studies, I have foud that there is no known way to restore memories which have been lost through retrograde amnesia, so how is it possible for an operation to bring back those memories? I know bloopers are common in shows, but it just irked me that the BIGGEST twist in the show had to occur in the form of a blooper. Now the thing is when the writers could have easily incorporated Sagar's correct way to recover from amnesia, why didn't they? They could have easily stretched the storyline yet still shown his recovery the way amnesia is normally treated. Counseling techniques, hypnotherapy and drug therapy are depended on the most in the cases of psychological amnesia.
Another thing, when a person has amnesia, and in Sagar's case Retrograde amnesia, for that person it is TERRIBLY traumatic to know you're not like everyone else..Sagar, on the other hand, just needed to look into a mirror, be called "insane" and he accepted it just like that with a few tears and understandable pain...which is just so disturbing...Either he posesses high tolerance or wait another blooper? well analyzing his personality, Sagar definitely comes accross as a person who is definitely not so tolerant, so let's formally label this a blooper again.
Another major concern of mine, is Sagar hardly visits a psychiatrist on a regular basis. So, till now Sagar's condition/recovery was only dependant on drug therapy? This is so unbelievable. If Sagar's family was poor and couln't afford his medical treatment, then I would understand, but heck no, they are filthy rich, so why do they think about all these treatments a year later? Sagar's father was alive before Vidya married Sagar, so him being the head of the house, Sindoora could never have stopped him either.
Do you think television should progress to a more realistic form of story-telling or do you enjoy this fictional, glorified realsm of story-telling more?
I know the BIG QUESTION on the tip of your lips is, okay so we know all that, what's the point of the post? Well, I was bored and I was running out of ideas to post a discussion topic, so hence this blooper picketing😆 lol...
Keep smiling...
