What do people want from this show? - Page 8

I love you for this post. This is the same thing that's been going on in my head for the past couple of months. It's like the forum members here are dictating the writers of the show to run it to their own whims and fancies. And I strongly abhor it.

each one has their own expectations from the show. You can suggest some ideas for the show to improve but demanding a storyline to run according to your wish is simply outrageous. As you rightly pointed out, it is definitely like pming a writer and threatening them to change the story to their wish.

This time, I really wish the CVs don't give an arse to these ridiculous demands. The track has not yet started properly and people in the forum are making all sorts of assumptions.

you know, I was thinking a few days ago. If the Lavanya track was playing right now, these same people would have started a petition against her too and the serial would have reached no where. I'll tell you what's happening. People in the forum realised that CVs listen to views of people and took unfair advantage of it. They have found a way to hold the CVs at gunpoint and are now exploiting that means.

I have no problems in admitting that I still love IPK just like last year. The only thing that has changed is this forum, which is making me sick and forcing me to log off whenever I step in here.

It's like a gang of possessive horny teenagers/ housewives out there who only want romance, love, sex full time between Arnav and Khushi. Sorry for my outburst, but that's what I feel when I look at the posts of some of those forum members.

Yesterday's spoiler did create a havoc in the forum. What is worse is fans don't take a minute and think. Instead many of us just jump to conclusions.

There was hue and cry yesterday, but it turned out that it was for nothing.

Post MU the show did become a mess and we can also feel that the cvs are trying their level best to come up with options. Some thing did go wrong, but if we know they are trying their best, shouldn't we at least give them a chance to do what they want to do?

Personally speaking, and I think I have made this very clear in other threads, I am strongly against dictating writers how to write their work.

As a writer, I like taking suggestions, I like reading inputs from people of what they are liking and what they are not - but if tomorrow demands were being thrown my way just because something negative was being shown in my story, I'd get a bit annoyed.

Now coming to the show, these people are the CVs. They know the storyline, they get it approved from the channels, it's a long process. Even the scrapping of a track is not something that's done overnight. They need to come with an alternative, get that approved, and get the track scrapped.

The CVs are not going to show something that's going to shut down the show - they are essentially gonna show something that's going to keep the story alive. They know what they are doing, they know what they are writing about, and whom they are writing for - by dictating them what to do, is not the right thing to do in my opinion.

Now I wonder, that if the spoilers had not been released, there would be threads speculating over what would happen, how it would progress etc, rather than making petitions and demanding, and arguments erupting.

I think a few spoilers here and there keep the suspense and energy in the audience alive. Like releasing a spoiler picture, and letting the audience speculate, or just a hint that will make the audience get excited for the track. However "spoilers" such as Barun leaving, or Arnav having a kid is going to bring about unrest - so what's the sense and use of those kind if spoilers? That's like driving the audience away before they have a chance to see it being executed properly on-screen.

You are right, everyone wants different things from a track, and as a result not everyone can be satisfied at once. The CVs are aware of that, and that's why soaps are often jumping between different genres to cater for everyone, and to keep the "spark" alive.

I think everyone needs to just trust the CVs and watch their story unfold. If someone does not like it - that's fine, make a post criticising what you don't like, however demanding for changes by sending those demands to all kinds of people is not something I can see eye-to-eye with.
