How is creating a good story an act against the crew and everyone involved? Everyone takes pride in good work. You're working off the assumption that audiences don't like good stories.
And when I say good I'm not referring to a specific genre. I'm talking about something that is tight and well put together. There are many good shows out there that I prefer not to watch, but I do admire them for what the stand for. BV is one (but I did watch this for a bit) Saraswatichandra before the flip is another.

And AS is not doing this to survive. He's doing this to prove a point and stroke his ego. Survival can be had with average trps also.

Creating a so called good story is an act against the crew and everyone involved if it is not being liked by the majority audience and making money.

See again it is a matter of taste. Please understand that I am not working on the assumption that audience doesnot like good stories. What I have been trying to tell you is that what was considered as good story as per you eg sultan track or Mahay track was rejected by the masses

That doesn't make the mass audience or even my taste bad. Its just that the mass audience definition of a good, tight story is different from yours. (Please note the proof of this is in the fact that both these tracks were scrapped)

Regarding survival, why AS should stay happy with average TRPs? Why doesnt he have the right to strive or attempt for the best?

Or why do any of us try to get the best rating in office or the best rank in class? Its not that all of us can be best but we do put our best efforts or not or just let things be. If that had been the case human beings would still be living in caves without fire. The human race has progressed because we are not satisfied being average or losers. We constantly strive to improve ourselves.

I think this discussion has just come down to arguing for the sake of arguing. Else things which we would ourselves never do in real life would not have been put forth as arguments. So please let us just civilly agree to disagree.😊

I do agree with your post and esp with what you wrote that the writers should follow through on their stories.

I was noticing in the 'last season' that every time the audience got vocal about not liking a track, the track ended abruptly.

- Sultan was hated, he was made to turn evil and died.
- Ria. Despised. she was out. (for which I admit to being grateful)
- Heroine storyline ended quickly.

And yet, in the same argument, it can be asked why did the writers give the audience what it wanted but at the same time, we did not get the other stuff?? Redemption? Romance? A better heroine story line???

Be careful what you ask for!

Once again, a good story is something that is well-written. My personal tastes have nothing to do with whether I admire the story for what it is. If you've read my actual topic post you'll know that I was completely open to RK Madhu jodi at one point. Before it was bungled and both characters were sacrificed.

If that had been the case human beings would still be living in caves without fire.

The human race has progressed because we are not satisfied being average or losers.

We constantly strive to improve ourselves.

If anything, this is my ultimate point. Improvement is not what is being sought here. What is being sought here (by AS) is the comfort of the familiar. There is no improvement.
On the one hand you say the human race needs to improve, and on the other you use that argument to justify a track that has been covered repeatedly.

Improvement is about risks and ingenuity. I.e.: Guts and unique tracks.

ps: I don't mind the debating. It's kind of fun for me. Don't think that I'm getting annoyed or anything. It's actually nice to talk to people who engage with you.

Exactly. You can see them strive for something different, only to revert back without ever having given that other thing a chance.
Why put in tracks that they know will turn people off then? Because they think it'll be interesting and they want to write something different. People don't get involved in high risk businesses like this for money. They have a passion for it.

But you're right. They continually back off. Maybe audience scares them a bit 😆. It started with the fake marriage track, and ever since then we've had nothing but false starts. People want RK and Madhu together, but their characterizations are such that it doesn't work.

So they try something different for a little bit (wading the waters instead of just going for it full throttle), and then come back to the "it's complicated" relationship status.

And you're right. Follow through is so important. A proper heroine track would've been nice, considering she was born on a/for the stage.
