I am writing this post in sheer frustration and if it offends anyone it was unintended and I am sorry.
But I am so sick of these frequent yet completely fruitless eye lock sessions that AR engage in. What is the purpose of these? Are they meant to remind us, the audience, that despite all their claims of "just friends" these two are still hopelessly in love? Or is it to remind them about the attraction they still feel to each other? whatever it is, we get it and now can we move on, beyond this?
We have been witnessing these eye lock sessions for way too long now. For pete's sake how much more can a relationship stagnate that almost after a year they are still stuck on staring at each other???!!! Its been done so often that I can close my eyes and imagine in perfect detail the expressions on KSG's face. And sad to say but Suku baby isn't very comfortable in them yet. Its not her fault at all, no normal person would be, as these staring sessions are not normal at all.
So dear creatives can you do something creative for a change and get these two to do something friends would do?Like ...lemme think... maybe Talk????? I understand that conversations are highy under valued in DMG but please try it.
How about the fire escape .... the perfect place for friends to have a tete-a-tete. A perfect place for R to enquire about A's family, his childhood, his troubled youth. Or how about a conversation where A using the PS romance helps R deal with her adoption issues. Or maybe something light hearted - A pretending to be interested in other girls and asking R for advice, R feeling jealous and being all critical?
Or maybe they could do things that friends do - like cram for exams together, help each other out on tough cases, how about A teaching R to drive, R taking A shopping to help her select a gift for her Dad?
Anything will do but please please please move beyond the staring. They are completely fruitless. I actually like the friendship track. Its is a great way to bring maturity and growth and communcation to the relationship, just need to cut down on the "staring till we get interrupted" sessions.
