First of all I hope everyone is doing well after that shocker of an episode and I know how angry and disappointed we all were with LifeNOTOK for being so disrespectful towards EBI. After I coolled down, I decided that I would watch the episode properly and I was surprised by the fact that it wasn't actually as terrible as I thought it would be. So here is what I thought worked and what didn't ๐
1. Tara lashing out - I LOVED THIS PART. THIS WAS A MUCH NEEDED SCENE! I'm glad that Tara didn't accept a simple sorry from MJ and questioned how he was able to watch her suffer for so long. Poor Viraf copped a lot of hits in the process but it was lovely to see Tara vent out all that suppressed anger. It was sweet that he stood there and comforted her and allowes her to have her moment of catharsis.
2. The SR - Shock! Horror! Yes I actually liked the SR! The song and Mriara were beautiful in the 1-2 minute SR that they showed us. While it would have been SO MUCH BETTER IF IT WAS LONGER, I think that you could see how passionate and romantic the full version would have been. The lighting was heavenly and ViCha looked ethereal.
3. Saas-bahu bonding - YAAAY NIMMO AND TARA ARE NOW A TEAM! I remember how upset we were when the unique sasur-bahu bond was broken but I'm super glad that now this bond has formed
๐ So clearly we're going to have soms nautanki happening in thd SM with Tara bossing around Nimmo but it should.be interesting to see what happens next!
4. Precap- I jokingly stated in a post that I would love to see MJ sneak into SM and romance with Tara and then SHAZAM MY PREDICTION CAME TRUE! He won't get caught by Nandu but perhaps it will open up an opportunity for some Mriara moments (TSUNAMI OF ROMANCE) but only if the editor is in a good mood ๐ก
Somewhere deep down I hope that we get soms FBs about the SR and the maang scene.
Things that didn't work:
1. Maang scene being edited
2. SR being shortened and no morning after!
3. Rushed and disjointed scenes after the SR
* Note that this isn't the fault of the cast and crew. This is to be blamed on the editor whose name is PRAVEEN KALKOTHORI AND LIFENOTOK!
I watched the E24 segment again to make me happy and I'm a lot happier than I was before. I also tweeted to Chhavi and Viraf telling them that I appreciate their hard work even though LO doesn't. Audience is king as they say so who cares about dumb Lifenotok!
Hope you all have a great day,
Shegufta xx
