I felt the same way towards SidT/the CVs yesterday as Sony Alexander did about Chakanya's betrayal and I could find no better way to express myself.
I have been trying to stay calm the past few days but yesterday's episode finally hit the ceiling as far as my level of frustration was concerned. I just really had to offload all that was pent up. Aargh!
It is indeed a testament to how much I love Rohit's work that I'm still around, watching this show. If it were any other show, I would have probably left by now.
One of the reasons I stopped watching Game of Thrones, of which SidT is apparently a big fan, is the gratuitous violence and gore. Though Porus is extremely mild in comparison, I can certainly see some influences. I hate it when that happens. That Chanakya will escape is clear (because we know history), but the fact is, this sequence was uncalled for. Alexander could have punished or killed him off in many other ways, and to me the bull scene was gratuitous.
Sony Alexander's character has been degraded continuously, but the last few episodes have shown an exponentially sharp decline. 😡 😡 😡
Not just the story tracks but all those big announcements about the scale of this show and the attempt to do something different had us intrigued last year. Yet, we are just getting more and more 🤬 as the time passes.
I wish they had wrapped this up last month with a quick battle sequence. Right now, I'm not sure how I can go through this for another 2 months (or whatever is left). The finish line doesn't seem to be in sight just yet. 😕
