for this weekend's feature, i'm going to present two things that i realised really bothered me over the last two weeks of the show. one i think bugs everyone, and the other i haven't seen anyone talk 'bout. so tell me what you think.
1. what bugs everyone: prem trapped among the burning buildings.
fact: prem hates heat. and yet for a mom's sake, he goes into the middle of the burning buildings to get to her son.
fact: prem pulls and pushes at obstacles to get to the son, and then get him out.
fact: prem sees something fall at them and ... pushes the guy out of the way?? *frown* why didn't he just run??
fact: the son says he will not leave prem there in the middle of the burning buildings
fact: prem sits like he is terrified of something and has lost hope of fighting it. sits waiting for death.
fact: prem does remember his past life. but then... he hears something more... bits and pieces of the future of that life?? and he is startled. and a tear runs down his cheek.
(btw, did anyone else, while watching those parched lips feel pity enough to want to lean over and kiss them just so that they would have some relief from being so dry? i did. purely out of pity. seriously. they were so pathetic. i hope hc got to drink lots of water after that shot...)
fact: prem has just spent the whole day having premonitions of what will happen to heer and having them come true. right in front of his ... uh ... ears. š
i want to know: what they heck was that segment supposed to mean?? i think there's some meaning to it that we are being kept in the dark about. the story 'bout that segment isn't over yet, methinks....
2. what no-one else doesn't seem to have talked about: that prem confession to heer over the phone into her voice-mailbox. y'know? that bugged me! i finally figured it out -- it bugged the heck out of me. why, you ask? i know that it had the most wonderful hc-as-prem voice: sweet as the most unbelieveable nectar, saying the most loving things possible. but - and this is a big but! - what the heck was he saying??! praying that he would die before heer??!?! wtf??!! (uh..... 'kay, 'kay! so mebbe i'm not such a good girl after all! i'll go stand in the corner for an hour just as soon as i write this up. and wash my brain with washing powder nirma! promise! š¤£)
this is prem, right? he's sworn that he will not rest happily as long as he doesn't know heer is happy foreverafter, right? isn't that what prem is all about: burn the whole world if there is a single tear that falls from heer's eyes????! and he's spewing this defeatist poop on the phone??! and guess what??! immediately after there is bomb blast right in his face??! wtf!! ('kay!!! i'll do two hours in the corner! lemmeee finish, no?)
so i put the two facts together: and i figure -- this cannot be happening! it just isn't! it's too much of a coincidence that
- prem's filled with heer-dying premonitions
- prem's filled with (imho, cowardly) can't-stand-life-without-heer feelings
- prem's perfect and thus, cannot - just cannot! - be cowardly. so...
if i were a team of creators who have been totally cool about the story so far, this is what would be: that prem's being presented a chance of answering the question: okay, so you can't face life without heer? then is this what you want??!
where the this is the life that we are being shown! and then prem'll have to choose -- heer being maimed or killed while he is still alive, vs. heer living a life where he is no longer there. and then, he gets to choose: stay in burning buildings and escape from ever needing to see heer hurt or dead? escape burning buildings into a life where he has to live with the knowledge that a random senseless stooooopid event can take her away from him.
*feeling pleased with myself*
good thought, no? even if it did take me two whole weeks to get it?
well, now that i'm done, i guess i have to run off and
1. wash my brain and mouth with washing power nirma to clean it of that terrible expansion for wtf and
2. stand in the corner for two hours.
'cause at the end of the day, i am a good girl, i am. or i try very hard to be! š
