this seems to be important to say 'cause earlier, lots of people have confused it for ... something else. π i can't imagine what the something else is. but i'm told it's something very naughty. so naughty that the punishment for thinking it is to stand in the corner for an hour. at least. π
for those who didn't think the naughty something else, or who have finished with their punishment, shall we wtf? π
wtf #1: omg. this show is soooooo spoofing all the saas-bahu shows on earth that i'm getting a headache. seriously.
all the vamps are total caricatures of the only one real villainess on this show, ie, dirtchachi. all the good guys are totally incompetent. *btw, what is new harman's role? servant? lawyer? detective? thug? only thing common in everything he does is that he is incompetent at it. so... is there a role called ''incompetent'' in these shows? π€£* six year time line shifts are declared but have actually never happened. and the hero-heroine here are clear demonstrations of how idiotic the good guys can get. actually, all the subtleties that these characters were born with and had all the way till the tls** have been wiped clean -- and we firmly in the world of monochromatic caricatures all around.
*sigh* i wish they'd picked another show to do it with -- but i can guess why they did it with this one. which other show would keep us watching even now?? π
wtf #2: sneha's attitude to prem is one big puzzle. primarily 'cause kids are not as evil as grownups usually. but sneha seems to have her ''you're my father'' act with prem down perfectly. i thought of two possibilities.
- that ashlesha has been tutoring her that prem juneja is her father all her life. that means that she has been preparing for this for a really long time. but that didn't really make sense -- 'cause wouldn't it have been easier for ashlesha to get to prem if heer wasn't in the picture?? this line of thinking has more puzzles than solutions, imho.
- that ashlesha got the plan together only recently. that she got the little kid trained to recognise prem from photographs, and to watch out for prem. in fact, she probably got trained to recognise phukda as well. after all, as the principal kept saying, ''she is a breeeeeeeliant student.'' π€£π€£ so she's probably able to do everything that ashlesha wants perfectly... π€£
wtf #3: does or does not ashlesha appear to be a little intimidated by meher or not? whenever she sees meher -- who should be the one that she is really hating, and trying to remove, rather than poor heer -- ashlesha kinda looks like she doesn't have a plan on how to deal with her?
i maybe making too much out of this, but i remember pre-tls** when ashlesha had come back into jzoo, and glob was taunting meher about why heer had welcomed her back with open arms. meher had said that glob should not worry, 'cause she knows how to keep ashlesha out of her life? i wondered then what made meher was so confident. and i'm wondering if that has something to do with why ashlesha is not doing anything against meher now.
wtf #4: sad thing -- this is the first time that chahat is getting to spend time with two parents, a whole family. and she gets to see her papa bark at another child asking (oh so rudely) whether he looked like a driver. *that was a seriously horribly rude thing to have scripted for prem -- he would never had done that. π€*
wtf #5: i guess they had to make an excuse to get hanuman gi-it to leave -- so that heer is left to fight all those demons on her own? i think i'm gonna miss hanuman... π€
wtf #6: btw, does anyone else wonder whether today glob would be happy to accept ashlesha as prem's wife? π€
wtf #7: horrid roles that prem and heer are playing now, no? once-boss prem is running around like a frantic clerk without a brain. while heer comes across as an apt mate for such a duffer. she moves around slowly pondering what is going on, while not making one move to figure it out. i guess it is true, then? that the two share a brain? and right now, prem has it in his control -- using it for totally pointless purposes?
and me? all i want to do is hit them. i've never ever wanted to hit anyone else on this show. but i want to hit prem and heer for being so darned stooopid.
you ask: why hit 'em now? why not six years earlier? well 'cause it's six years later, damnit! prem and heer have gone through hell in the last six years. you'd have thought that they'd have grown up, become wiser to the dirt in the world???! it had appeared so at the start of the tls** -- what happened to them now??
so, imho, they deserve all the pain they are getting put through right now. i really don't care for their tears, or for their sad twisted faces. if they haven't figured out how to tackle the evil in the world, then let them get to each other the long hard glycerine drenched way. i'll just sit back and enjoy it when prem and heer touch each other, and laugh at every thing else. seriously. π€£
**tls: time line shift.
wtf #8: why did ashlesha say that if prem found out sneha's his kid, then her whole plan will go for a toss?
actually, what the heck does ashlesha want? is it really a goal in any person's life to find a place in a family that detests her, to be partner to a man who doesn't want her -- just so that she can sleep in a luxurious house everyday, dressed in fancy clothes everyday? is she regretting that a long time ago, she had told prem juneja that she didn't want to be married to someone who's heart was made out of stone? after living in poverty for a while, does she now think that she doesn't mind it at all?
what exactly does ashlesha want? why doesn't she just bring it out into the open and get the boring drama over and done with?
wtf #9: it's funny to see how every other villainess on this show tries really hard to copy dirtchachi's act -- and fails miserably. gayatri juneja just looked plain weirdly vomitous when she does it.
but ashlesha is a total ham! π€£ i'm hard pressed to remember an actor on this show who does as bad a job as she does -- considering that she has a lot to do. whenever she comes on with her ''ooh-i'm-gonna-get-prem-and-remove-that-heer'' act, i always try so hard to get into the mood to hate her -- but end up laughing all over the floor. is funny how it takes a bad actress playing evil (this ashlesha) to appreciate a good actress playing evil (dirtchachi) no? i seriously don't think of her as anything but a desperately stoopid person actually. or is that a stoopidly desperate person?
*thinking* actually, what am i saying? i can't take the entire show seriously these days -- ashlesha is just one pathetic little dirtchachi-wanna-be in that grand scheme of things! π€£
wtf #10: prem and heer continue to do what they do best.
- heer what she does best -- obsess about prem. π and be a darling mother. she is seriously good at loving chahat. almost as good as she obsesses about prem.
- heer what doesn't do well at all -- scream ''prem!!!'' when she sees that he is in trouble! bwaaaahahahahahahahahaha!! remember when prem had called her at the accident site, and she first saw him? heer yelled ''prem''. hahahahahah! i could just see ag dying to laugh in that scene at the stooopidity of the script needing her to scream ''prem''. i agree with her -- at that point, heer should've just be running to the car to get prem into her arms asap.
- prem -- obsess about heer in an bordering-on-insane manner. when during prem's dream-sequence that heer is leaving when he tells her that sneha is his daugther, i fell over my chair hooting when prem said that sneha was his daughter -- and didn't say that ashlesha was the mother. until that point, no one knew that ashlesha is apparently sneha's mother. and i laughed 'cause if it was truly that prem told heer that he had a kid -- heer needn't think the kid is ashlesha's, no? then her reaction to leave as soon as possible would be justified -- this would be proof that prem is .. uh .. a flagrant womaniser? whatever, i found that entire dream sequence funny. primarily 'cause it showed up prem as such a duffer. i mean, since when has prem been such a loose-screw-in-the-head duffer? π€£
*btw, did anyone else think that the doctor and ashlesha kinda looked like each other? are the actors playing 'em related? no? π*
wtf #12: heh heh. has anyone noticed that whenever there is a shot showing us the photographs on the walls down in the living room of jzoo, most of the time, they are just photographs of prem? π not that i blame them of course. but is kinda funny to see 'em -- 'especially 'cause it includes shots of hip-hop prem. π€£
wtf #13: btw, prem's hair is growing long at the back again.π all the better for heer's hand to look super sexy threading through it, clutching it. π *which reminds me -- there's that phhandooh at poll that i've been promising for a while now... π*
wtf #14: the most interesting subtle stuff these whole two weeks was actually the interactions between heer and meher. it was cool to see heer and meher chat together after heer talked with gi-it about leaving the house for a while. it was super lovely to see heer and meher have that silent conversation when ashlesha walked in, faking that whole my-landlord-is-a-meanie story. it came a lot later than i'd have expected, but it's lovely to see them being sisters again.
in the same way, i was pleased to see that maya-heer session. even if it was heer trying to be full of advice that maya didn't want, it was one of the nicest girl-girl interactions on this show.
and i guess nihaal has still to enter -- i mean, now it is waaaay beyond the six years of his jail term, right? and man, do i miss nihaal when i watch new-harman play detective. π€£
so, who knows? maybe there are a lot more good-guys power behind prem and heer than i thought. goodness knows they need as much as they can get! π
wtf #15: last one, i promise. π at the end of all this, i'm still w&w -- waiting and wanting to know what's gonna happen to prem and heer.
ya, i'm changing what w&w stands for. π the segments we get to see are pathetic in the quality of the script, and super-pathetic in what they are making the characters out to be. but i want to know how prem and heer are headed to being forever happy together. 'cause there's no doubt in my head that prem-heer-are-one, and will be that forever. after all this time, it's impossible to be otherwise.
only thing is i don't particularly feel like watching anymore. 'cause within around 10 millisecs of starting to watch this show, i'm on the floor laughing my head off. after doing it so often, i'm starting to get a permanent neck ache -- the floor's such an uncomfortable angle to be watching tv from. π€£π€£π€£
my only wish is that when they introduce the next set of problems for prem and heer, they get some decent actors to do it with. 'cause i know that we are not gonna get decent scriptwriters or creative who give a damn. π€
