You gush about PriDa....while I find them pretty lame and brainless too....atleast Gaurav can ACT....pray tell what exactly is so special about the new age namby pamby clowns that is inspiring so much analysis??? It seriously confounds me....LOL.....Ditto for the in daaaaaaaaapth analysis about PriDa....WHERE is the depth, ppl?? WHAT are you seeing??? Is it only visible thru some extra special 3-D glasses?? Then please loan me a pair :P
Sorry for the late reply ... was working on a VM. 😳
@ bold: That's true, lol ... I don't understand where the in depth analysis comes from. Maybe a different perspective, I suppose?
@ red: LMAO at the 3-D glasses line! See, you and I probably won't get the 'depth' ... but I guess the PriDa fans will. I think when fans see depth in couples that lack it, it's not because of what the characters
are ... it's because of what they'd like the characters to
be. Like say, my opinion of SG. I'll admit this, I didn't like them because of their original character traits. Those sucked. I liked them because I had formed my own version of SG in my head - I made assumptions about what each of them felt during their scenes and what each look, each smile must have meant (even though in reality the writers never intended for those scenes to have any subtle or hidden meanings).
Of course, I didn't go about writing essays on SG (I didn't consider them to be
that complex or deep) but I did have a modified version of the couple in my mind, that I made assumptions about ... which the non-fans obviously didn't. Nimmi would always say "I don't get WHAT it is that you see in that dreadful couple. There's no appeal at all!" and I'd reply "Uh I dunno, I like the whole jock-meets-nerd thing. And come on, they aren't that one dimensional! The so and so scene had him struggling with his feelings. I could tell by the way he emphasized the so and so word!"
So maybe the fans of those couples that we find bland have made a different image in their minds and see
that version of the couple and not the one that's on the screen. Just guessing from personal experience ...
