@ TB and anyone else who's wondering:
Yep, been a bit behind on PR. Posted a few days back on SD's wedding night FF, though too sternly to earn myself higher ratings in the popularity charts, I suspect.
😊
Apart from this being tax filing season as well as panic time for teachers mailing out last minute recommendation letters to colleges on behalf of students from five years back whose papers they're having to re-read to do the job honestly (!?!), the thing is that PR has been progressively giving me less and less of a buzz than it used to.
Have said pretty much what I had to say on the multiple gender-related questions raised; repeating those views ad nauseam doesn't really make sense, particularly since things seem to go from bad to worse for the women.
In any case, even viewers with the most rudimentary interpretative skills must by now have seen that the episodes are completely lacking in any kind of plausibility. So holding forth on the issues raised seems like a pointless exercise to me at this stage, because they don't any longer appear to be connected to any real life scenarios that viewers/ readers can relate to, or then inspect their own ideas on, which, one assumes, is what spurs us to comment.
The only hopeful track is the wedding track coming up, not just because there will be ceremonies / songs / gifts (in enjoying which big-fat-non-Greek activities we're all equally unsophisticated!) or because there are a hundred romantic possibilities for our bashful lead couple (spiced additionally for us by Shravani's ill-advised challenge), but also because the next pitfall is a believable one: the engagement foundering on the maliciously sneaked news of a previous relationship. Now here's something we all recognize: it's happened to people we know, and we've all tried to live our lives before marriage as pristinely as possible in the public eye to avoid exactly this kind of situation. So perhaps things will perk up for the five days of the wedding before they return to their current meaninglessness. Let's see!
Meanwhile, my regards to everyone out there. I remember you all when I watch, and think "Tanya will be happy today", or "Kool will rip this scene apart" or "TB will capture those eyes."
Have fun and take care till next week!
