Guilty. I liked today's episode, but Sam you saw my rant on Annie's thread about how the MU messed everything up and destroyed it! You've written it all perfectly when you said the lack of committal on the part of the CVs - there is a HUGE difference in the episodes now and episodes before FOR that precise reason. The quality has slipped as the Production House has began focussing on other projects. After the MU the way in which they attempted to convey "intensity and hate" bordered on many viewers questioning the show and when they attempted to inject romance through Fake Rabba Veys, it felt as if they were making a mockery out of us and I still feel no matter how many real Rabba Veys we get, they won't mean the same because of this huge void left by the poorly set-up MU which can resolved in a few episodes. So the CVS ended up returning to their easier option of comedy and forcing it instead of letting genuinely funny dynamics and situations humour us sadly.
Today though I saw hope because the original "diametrically opposite" element came into the episodes and it reminded us of the characters we fell in love with. Post MU, the biggest frustration was how both the characters have been butchered as a result of sustaining it, whether it was ASR and his questionable actions on the wedding night or Khushi and her slightly over the top illogical antics in the filler episodes yet today we got a glimpse of that original dynamic. An ASR who uses money to manipulate and make everyone adjust around him and KKG who's willing to question, challenge and teach him a lesson because he's sacrificing other peoples emotions along the way.
Hey Ouma .. move over .. make space .. I liked the epi too ... and still continue to enjoy the standalone ones and BS/SI performances ... but the epis just don't move me anymore ... they don't make me soar or recall the first flush of love nor the pain that goes from does he / doesn't he ... it's all ... how shall i put it ... it's like you order this ice cream sundae in all the flavours you like topped with cream, nuts, cherries ... whatever floats your boat ... now you've had it before so you know its out of this world .. it comes over looks scrumptious .. you dig in only to realise it's no longer sinfully good ... it's been replaced with 0% fat sorbet ... but you keep taking more spoonfuls telling yourself you'll adjust it looks good .. eventually it'll taste good ... but at the end of the bowl al you feel is cheated. God I need me an ice cream fix now!
@red ... you're right ASR essence has returned today the money will fix everything and be damned anyone is hurt in the process .. yes yes .. the narcissist is back! hallelujah! I did like Khushi's pain and FB ... but I want her to come out with a full frontal attack .. and not her passive aggressive crap ... tomorrow will tell ...
