Today, I am not going to analyze scene by scene as the episode is not worth it. But I am going to be really critical of the editing team today and am going to blast them from all sides, so please read at your own risk, specially Editing Dept. Later on, dont tell me I did not warn you'll. ;-)
First about the episode in general:
Episode was blah...boring according to me.
Execution was crap. Missed Nissar today. I am sure MaanEet scenes were not directed by Nissar.
Barry, mehboob aur mehbooba, lol, seriously. You took me back to 15th century. :-)
Personally speaking, I do not mind stretching ILU confession over couple of episodes. But the execution of MaanEet scenes was pathetic, specially dupatta scene. I felt like I was watching that scene in slow motion. Half-way through the scene, I kind of started to feel bored. This has never happened to me before regarding MaanEet scenes. Anyways, I know not all episodes can be good every day. So once in a while, it is fine if you'll mess it up in the name of filler episode. After all we did get mindblowing episodes last week.
I just cant believe that this is the same MSK who seduced and kissed Geet in Pee Loon sequence, to help her confess her feelings. Who was ready to CONsummate their relationship had Geet confessed during RTM sequence. After going through so much together, when MSK is all set to hear Geet's confession again, we dont get any seduction or kiss from him this time. In the elevator, I would have loved it if they showed MSK about to kiss Geet on her lips, only to be interrupted by PQ. Or in the dupatta scene, instead of showing this scene outside MSK's cabin, they could have shown it inside his cabin. Where MSK is seducing Geet, standing really close to her (like in friday's episode), holding her hands, and trying to get her to say ILU. That dupatta game looked so lame to me. At this point in their relationship, I thought I would get more intense scenes than Pee loo sequence. I know, we might get something along this line this week, but still, with the privacy in the elevator and in the office, more passion and intensity could definitely be shown in MaanEet scenes today. Again, the idea was right, but execution could have been better.
And why the hell was the whole office empty in the morning. Fine, I am ready to assume that MaanEet came early in the morning, before anyone else came to the office. But why could you guys not show MSK-Geet both independently thinking of reaching office early in the hope that the other one would come early too, so that they can spend some quality time together before the day begins. Waise bhi, you guys have shown they are united by soul and mind, they think and say the same thing at the same time, they unintentionally always color coordinate their clothes. So had you'll shown both of them thinking that the other person might come early to the office, and hence reach the office early, I would have loved it. Then, office being empty would also make sense.
Ok, so thats it for the episode. Dev-Meera-Dadi scenes, haven't watched them. But read the live update, which is more than enough for me. If the execution sucked in MaanEet scenes today, I dont think so I should be watching Dev scene then. LOL.
Now coming to the editing team.

EDITING TEAM - hmmmm, where should I start with you guys. Lets see, I HAVE LOST ALL PATIENCE WITH YOU'LL. W*H is the matter with you people. Do you'll sleep throughout your job hours. Or are you'll volunteering your service, working for free, at Star One office. Star one, please hire someone like MSK (HP wala MSK ;-)) as the boss of Geet editing team who cannot tolerate anything less than perfect when it comes to work. This department in Geet team really needs a strict boss now. Editing team is responsible for compiling the whole episode, and putting all the pieces together. But the way they are working, they are really messing up with all the hard work done by Nissar, GC, DD, Barry, Swati, Camera person, and the rest of the Geet team.
Today toh they crossed the limits by completely deleting the precap scene from Friday's episode. Today they started with MSK telling Geet to continue from where they left off on Friday. To us, the audience, they left it off at a hand kiss. So what was there to continue in it. We only know from that 10 secs precap that he meant ILU out here. Had it not been for the precap, we all would have been confused today as to where did this ILU topic come from. Why could they not show Geet remembering the precap scene in flash back when she was feeling all shy in the elevator. Was it too hard to show this. Waise bhi, now the episodes will be for 6 days a week, so why delete out such an important scene which connects Friday and Today's episodes. And instead of showing dupatta scene in slow motion (this scene was needed, but at normal speed), how about showing the Friday precap scene.
Editing team, better buckle up now before it is too late. Almost on weekly basis, you guys give us a reason to get angry. Starting from the time when Geet told MSK about her pregnancy, you guys have been consistent in messing up the important sequences. Be it deleting MSK self-analysis scenes during truth revelations about pregnancy and fake marriage, RTM sequence, Manali sequence, Archive room scene, Rain scene after pregnancy truth was out, Tum Se hi sequence, etc. These sequences are just a few in a long list of scenes you'll have messed up.
Once in a while, errors are tolerated, but to do good work once in a while and be consistent in making blunders is not tolerated. If needed, please take some professional editing classes ASAP.
I know I sound really rude out here, but cant help it, you guys have brought it upon yourself. Every single day, I cannot let go of the editing blunders I see on screen. One day, I had to write all this. So I thought, why not today. I hope to see some improvements in the coming episodes. PLEASE.

About miscarriage, I dont know what to write. All I can say is, cvs know what the majority in EE thread in FB and Den thread in IF think about the baby track. Geet fans have given the cvs plenty of ideas on how to carry forward the baby track, while keeping the serial entertaining. But still if you'll decide to go ahead with miscarriage, then there is nothing we can do or say now. I am not going to bother about this issue any longer. I shall just sit back and enjoy this serial. As long as you'll execute the scenes well, dont mess with character consistency, and show us some logic, I dont mind whatever you'll show. The story belongs to you people, and I have faith that you guys wont let us down. :-)
