@Amy: Aww you're dealing with wildfires? Woahh...

Achha if you're bored, why don't you watch some show on Hulu?

Lol. I don't think I've ever been repulsed by a show and then gone on to love it; as you say, we usually have valid reasons for liking / not liking what we do. But kabhi kabhi we end up being totally turned around by a chink in the armour - the good acting, the lead actor/actress, the songs, the cinematography etc. And we end up confused as to how we got there 😆



LOL I haven't either...but then I guess my repulsion was all based on the concept...I had not watched a single scene post the leap and I refused to do so also because I was quite sure that wouldn't change my mind no matter what anyone told me.

The total turnaround still has me in shock...I think what shocked me was the treatment of the scenes...the concept is what it is...but the way they handled it with the layers to the characters and their relationships almost has a greek tragedy/theatrical effect to it...The acting is very good...from the main actors to the character ones...the bg music is superb and adds to the charged aspect of the scenes...especially the scenes b/w K and G...and it's not charged with what I had expected to be typical "hawt" tension...it's been different.

It's so sad...think of BALH...we see such shoddy treatment in direction, the way bg score is used...if only Ekta focussed on production values...it makes such a difference to the viewing experience too.

It has been part of the reason why I've grown to like Gulaal...the story has been built up well to the current high point too. Remains to be seen if it gets lame from this point on or not😆

eh anu i have been doing that and now it's getting a tad bit boring.😆
besides, you should have seen how it is here right now. There's smoke all over and the moment you walk outside you smell the burning woods and the ash flying around you. It is this bad even if we're quite far away from where the actual wild fires are. Wonder how bad it is in places near by.🤔 Wildfires and hurricanes totally SUCK!

@LadyM--- yeah we're ok. the fires are not where we live...it's just the smoke and smell. the air quality getting poor since yesterday afternoon.

And I'm watching Bhagonwaali but Mels isn't here to discuss it with 😆...GR ka reunion ho gaya...so high point there also😆

And BALH is finally moving in the right direction despite irritating NUTS type elements😆

LadyM - yes. It is a re-telling of La Femme Nikita which was a French film and a TV show. But this is from a slightly different angle. The original series' focused on Nikita within the organisation called Division (which is like a super secret arm of the CIA which does all its dirty work), but the new series had Nikita "go rogue" and just shift her story slightly from there. To be honest, I have never seen the original film and show so it doesn't matter to me that much, but in a way I am glad it is not a simple reboot or remake because then the fans of the old would war with the fans of the new and it would just be too annoying. This way it is its own show.

It airs on CW but I obviously watch it online/download it. It is along the lines of Alias (and to some extent, Buffy) in that it is a spy show with a badass female. I only watched snippets of Alias, and Buffy toh I love, but I watched Nikita and was head over heels in about three episodes, lol. Maggie Q is awesome. And I've loved Shane West since A Walk To Remember and ER days.

Oooh Shane West! The guy from A Walk to Remember? I liked him in that movie too...I thought the guy in your sig looked familiar...lol

CW shows are usually kinda lame teen dramas but I think I'll try out this one...your description makes it sound interesting :-)
