I'm with you, K.
The episode was disappointing. And here I have the same issue as Joyee does...there was something VERY abrupt about the transition from hung-over-in-lala-land to sober and scandalised. And that would-be SwaRon moment of the promo is officially a never-was SwaRon moment in the epi, which was my BIGGEST disappointment tonight. It's not even the eye-locking...just a bit more of a revelation...a bit more of a reaction on Swayam's as well as Sharon's face considering what this followed after, before plunging them head on into Rey's dukh bhari dastaan. I get it, Rey needs the focus, and she should get it for the show to make sense. Why that must come at SwaRon's and Swayam's cost, is my problem here.
And also, like I said on Rafz's topic, the dialogue which, as you pointed out, was bolly-fluff, was empty fluff to make it that much worse, because I'm frankly quite confused by Swayam's lack of expressiveness there. It's a warped return to Majnu-ness, like a bad disapparation. Lol. Apologies for the HP analogy, but it's the best way I can explain what that felt like...a return but not a return, feel but no feel...something missing, basically, and just weirdly executed. Dunno.
Here's hoping there something substantial in store for SwaRon from here. 🤔
