Hi Lady J!😆🤣

Your wit and snark is comparable to no one! Going to miss your snark bara posts!

But with this, Im going to say an alvida myself. As you said, there is no point cribbing about a show that doesn't make your heart dhak dhak.

Hopefully the folk enjoying the show will have a good time at the forum!!

See you all soon sahelies! And take care 🤗

Hi Ms J. I used to read your posts even in season 1 forum. That feels like a lifetime ago. I have spent very little time on this forum since the inception of this season, so this is my first comment on your thread.

Yes you summed it all up so well. Funnily enough out of the 5 weeks this was possibly the most tolerable. But you are right, the Sabun is just not cutting it for me and I guess many. I just don't feel any of the excitement or anticipation Pratham used to give me. I almost watch as an obligation. Yes love Bitwa, partial to him. He still "got" it. At least some of it. But the script is a disaster. I find none of the tight writing and execution the first 50 episodes of Parathm had.

Leave aside that, most shows have really good epsiodes for the first 25 to 30 to suck people in. Especially the first 2 or 3 weeks when it's the easiest to interest someone. By this point they would have people either hooked or rejecting a show. In this case most are still confused about what this show is and what to think of it? But in this case, we are still working on our hangover from the past and find ourselves in the interesting position of trying to give this show a chance for old time's sake. If not week 1 would have been the end for me.

I do have to decide how much time I have to dedicate to a Sabun so I have to choose wisely. I am even more busy than I was 6 years ago. Currently following 3 Indian shows and that is sort of my quota for Indian shows at any given time. Since I am an online viewer I also have the binge watch option. Which is what I used to catch up to this week. It was better than last week but this is still a very confused narrative. I hope they improve it. But coming to week 6 I am still not impressed and still not invested. That can't be good.

If you are indeed taking a hiatus, then hope to see you around again with your special take on things which is what most of us are thinking. Thank you again for your great post.

Bitiya - my analogy is that where most PH;s would have used vaccuum cleaners, they used leaf blowers. 😕 Especially the first 2 or 3 weeks when it's the easiest to interest someone. By this point they would have people either hooked or rejecting a show. In this case most are still confused about what this show is and what to think of it?

Gul - Dave Matthews from the Republic of Croatia...really? 🤔 Why didn't you just give him a passport for Enrique Iglesias while you're at it? Waisey - on that US passport, bitwa's first name was REALLIONAIRE, the date of Issue was BIRTHRIGHT, and date of expiration was marked IMPOSSIBLE. Thankfully - the gender was stamped correctly...I was half expecting to see "Confidential" in that category.

dear jamba, if my belly has ever bhatkoed from pillar to pillar singing sad songs (salaam to chitrahaar, how we ached every wednesday evening, was it? to see those six or whatever songs on kala safed teebhee), wondering why it exists, much derided as it is by all and ekdam sundry... it now knows, shaking fairly uncontrollably at take 5 is its primary cause for being; as its owner guffaws away, snorting and chortling in manner most un-sanskaari nari like. oh what pure anand. thanks, satyanasher ladki.

abs understand why you may not return with the take paanch soon. but shall be on the lookout. hopefully, we'll milo sooner than we'd thought. 🤗

This is another masterpiece on how to watch last week episodes. ⭐️🤣

And like all masterpieces, it makes one think and wait for the Q&A at the end of it to learn more about it's subject.

Why did asli duniya hired bitiya have only the nails of one hand mainucured? Was she hired straight from the hairdressers? While she was waiting for a full mani-pedi and a blowdry, as it was happy hour at the beauty centre? Or did the cameraman forgot his job of filming from the neck up?

Even bitiya knew who Dave Matthews was, as she forgot that the passport had Dave Matthew on it. Maybe she wasn't a fan of rock stars born in South Africa. But it's ok, this guitar player was born in Croatia and featured in "November Rain" of Guns N Roses, next to Slash.

How do we know that Shilpa didn't touch the masauji? She had the spray in her hand too.

And didn't masauji wash his face, or massi her hands? How come the prints were so perfect?

But most of all, does romance equal suffocating? Those fingerprints could be on his cheeks only if young massi wanted to help him blow his nose, or try to stop him breathe for wearing 18th century Italian frilly sleeves and the cowboy hat from the depths of redneck country. I feel her pain, no one should try to stay away from such suicidal fashion combos...

How can you leave now? We had just seen a glimpse of the best remote control yet and the return of the science...segments.
