Hi guysss...well, I don't know whether I was happy or sad after today's episode...I just loweeee A&J...get 'em together already peopleee!!! ๐ก ๐ญ
1) FLASHBACKS: This is what happens when you change scriptwriters, when you're a terrible producing/directing team, & you have a terrible business head for your network. You run out of original material & use half of the episode as a serving platter of insanity for the rest of us. Way to help us relive Dimples marrying Mindless A** & the looks on Billu, Bebe, & Amrit's faces. HELLOOO...we have in NO WAY forgotten August 5th, 2005...would you @ least be so kind as to not keep assaulting our brains with the same situations over & over & over again...especially when the situations are depressing ones!!! Thanksss!!! ๐คข The only plus point was that in a 60% flashback episode, not ONCE did I have to see Pink Chadds unbuttoning his ghastly shirt & drooling on unconscious JassiCeha's head! ๐
2) MAYBES: This entire episode was filled with maybes. MAYBE Jassi & Armaan will never reunite. MAYBE they will. MAYBE Mallika will see JassiCeha. MAYBE she won't. MAYBE PERVERTlal will find out the truth about everyone. MAYBE he won't. MAYBE Khatra Khatri will get a life. (Lol, this one's not a maybe...she DEFINITELY won't!๐) MAYBE Rhea's G-d will help us viewers out. MAYBE He won't. MAYBE Raghav will be the ONE man on Earth who doesn't fall for JassiCeha. MAYBE he won't. MAYBE Mallika will gain some self-respect. (Yeah, right!) MAYBE JassiCeha will deflate her ego. (Yeah, right SQUARED!) BLAH. NO MORE MAYBES. I want ACTION!!!
3) KABHI NAHINS: Now, you'd think in an episode full of "maybes", there wouldn't be any room for "kabhi nahins". Boy, were you wrong. It seems as though JassiCeha keeps repeating that she & Armaan have no chance to try & convince herself of it. Dude, there's no such thing as "kabhi nahin" in true love. Stop deluding yourself that you can live without Armaan, & stop trying to convince us of it, as well. NOBODY BELIEVES YOUUU & you're just trying to drive us to the newly renovated India Forums Sanitarium: For the mental rehabilitation of any & all still associated with JJKN. JassiCeha dear, we're already there...we have suites w/kitchenettes & our suitcases packed until May 2006. If you want to do ANYTHING remotely normal, sane, or helpful, please, by all means, go for it...we don't want to stay here any longer than we have to...the Sanitarium's food isn't all that great & we don't have a Nasim Apa for chai or a Reggie for cake. ๐๐
4) As for Mallika, she should quit Gulmohur & join her brother & Bubble Head in the private investigation business. Wow, the way she found out that there were still flights to Mumbai available & took care of her business...kya baat hai...what a difficult task...yeah. Right. ๐ And the greatest part (which I believe someone mentioned earlier) was that she fired Rhea already. I mean, the number of times she used to fire Jassi, she must have missed that dialogue so much. Poor woman...still hasn't learned that she can't fire any of Armaan's secretaries...I mean, the poor guy was never even successful @ it himself! ๐ IN ANY CASE, GO HOMEEE & DO YOUR JOBBB BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE IS DOING ITTT!!! This way, everyone is happy...you take care of the company, Armaan & Jassi reunite, Rhea & Piano Man take a chance, & PERVMAN and KK make beautiful music together. While they're @ it, JO-ke can take a stab @ getting it on with Romeo...she DID want to be Juliet, after all. ๐
5) Bringing us to PERVERTlal, I don't think I have ever heard him as high-pitched as I did today. I heard something along the lines of "SHRIEK PIERCE SQUEAL AHSIOAUSOIAS"...but maybe the neighborhood roadside dogs of Nainital understood him better...they have a greater range for such abnormal sounds. And G_D, why did they waste a whole 5 minutes on PERVMAN asking Mallika where the heck "Nehaji" could be? HOW THE HELL WOULD SHE KNOW, YOU IDIOT!? Besides, Nehaji was busy with her man...so you can stand outside the house all you want, but Dimples isn't letting her go without a fight (Yippie skippie!)...& Molly has a meeting to attend. ๐ณ
6) I was proud of Khatra Khatri for three reasons today. One, she didn't have too much of a dialogue so her Anu Malik voice was kept out of my ears. Two, she tried to participate in JassiCeha's burday festivities. And three, the most important of all, when she was dancing with Juliet Juhi, @ least she didn't bust out into garba...that would have been a mental picture that I would have had to get burned out of my memory! ๐ณ ๐
7) Another idiocy of Molly & the scriptwriters of course...how how HOW could she tell Rhea that she had already "tried games" with Armaan once before? Do you not realize that you took advantage of a poor idiot whose IQ was probably affected by the orange hair dye seeping into her brain in order to accuse your current HUSBAND of sexual harassment!? FIRST OF ALL, you were supposed to be in jail MONTHS ago. Second, RHEA, I am almost your fan now...do us all a favor & tell Armaan the truth about the sexual harassment scandal! ๐(Which, of course, just like "ahem ahem" is a part of the cache of "things that Turd & Doodie will pretend never occurred.") ๐๐ผ
8) YAY for the entireee AJ scene. Dimples, first of all, looked SOOOO cute. I think I might take a bite of him one day. ๐ณ ๐ And the way he was grabbing JassiCeha & holding her shoulders & touching her chin were all parts of the days of yore...when Jassi was, in fact, JASSI...Armaan was sane...& Nandu and Raj were the best respective sidekicks. Awww...& when Armaan said "Meri Jassi." <SIGH> Definitely made me nostalgic. ๐ญ Apoorva & Mona acted so well during the entire scene...it may just be me but I feel that they act SO much better when they're with one another. They are more believable & their emotions (even if they're scripted) are very raw and real. ๐๐ผ By the way, just to play devil's advocate...how do you think Mona & Apoorva "rehearsed" for the dialogue where she says, "Congratulations on your shaadi." & he says, "Oh, does that make you happy?" And the response? "If you're happy, then I'm happy." Hehehehe...hmmm...I wonder if a little of real went into reel!? ๐ Ok ok, just kidding, poor people...let me leave them alone. I just wanted to add it in considering our posts over this past weekend. ๐
9) For the first time, may I please say, THANK YOU PIANO MAN! Your being nice to our poor cute Dimples allowed for what poor doofus Rhea has been trying to do for a month. Have Armaan & Jassi meet. Of course, the power outage was of the most perfect timing & OF COURSE no one can see anyone else except our two lovers. Hey, man, I ain't complaining! I would accept Apoorva in the dark as a burday present ANY DAY!!! ๐ ๐ The only thing I have a problem with is that the power outage didn't hide that HIDEOUS burday cake. Dear Piano Man, next time let someone ELSE pick it out!!! ๐ค ๐
10) Now I just hope poor Rhea doesn't get in trouble back in Mumbai. She's already been promised to be fired...just hope that Armaan doesn't lash out @ her if things go wrong in AJLand tomorrow. I must say, I'm on her side now...so she better complete what she set out to do! โญ๏ธ I don't want her to suffer the fate of the Unwanted Pariahs Club OR Chaddi World. Come on Rhea...fight for it! ๐
11) As for the logistics of this show, & I know someone has mentioned this before as well, but is there a logical reason as to why they BLAST the background music OVER the dialogues of the actors? ๐ I have that retarded "Ahhhhhaaahhhh" sad wedding lady's voice in my head because I couldn't hear anything else! And the AJ scene? Forget it. I felt like I needed an advanced doctorate degree in Lip Reading or Super Sonic Hearing or something. Fine. We've understood that you guys cannot write, direct, market, produce, or do justice to this show...but can you @ LEAST balance treble & bass!?
12) One sad part of the evening's dialogues...Armaan said, "Pyar karta THA." THA??? THA??? Look, you & your ex-fiancee need to get your facts straight. You love each other. Period. Stop telling her you USED to like it's in the past...there's a limit to miscommunication. Even deaf, mute, & blind people communicate with more clarity than you two! ๐ต
13) And finally...the last scene was so perfect. Although stoopid JassiCeha is ALWAYS the one who walks away from her discussions & confrontations with Armaan, the look on her (Mona/JassiCeha's) face when Dimples grabbed her hand to stop her was ABSOLUTELY IN CHARACTER. We all know that the one thing Jassi could NEVER handle was Dimples' touch (Okay, I don't blame her for that!) & that same emotion that Mona portrayed in the last scene was perfect to a T! You could see her inner battle with her emotions fighting her brain...& the feelings just emanated from a simple expression on her face. So, today's Emmy, my dear Mona,...goes to you! ๐
Good night my dears...here's hoping for a happy update from a healthy Rumi tomorrow. โค๏ธ ๐ค
