Something missing

4 Oct episode

Somehow the episode left me dissatisfied ... till I read a post on IF 'Something missing' and realised what it was. It's the fact that the SG relationship is being shown in a very superficial way - like any of the dozens of other couples on TV who don't share their thoughts and keep their innermost secrets from each other. And SG are suddenly being shown to be doing the same thing - and it just doesn't gel. That Gunjan doesn't know what Sam is actually thinking, that Sam doesn't know how to tell Gunjan what he really wants ... their communication, their strongest bond, has gone for a toss, and with that, the essence of SG is floundering.

Two things - one that the HUGE difference between SG of S1 and S2 is that their communication, which was their biggest strength, has gone for a toss. It keeps coming back off and on ... it even came back during their dinner date, but ever since the whole Nupur drama resolved, it has been missing and SG have not yet resolved where they are with each other.
Then the big change in Gunjan ... it was cloaked by her bitterness and her grief, but now that Nupur is back, the fact that she HAS changed over three years in terms of moving on, her confidence, that part is coming to the forefront ...

Taking into mind both these things, the SG track is actually moving pretty logically ... She has developed confidence, she knows where she is in life, and she can now express her feelings and opinions pretty strongly which she never did before ... also like Sona said, she did always plan Sam's day for him, during exams, then during the movie track, she planned her own day so that she could spend time with him ... she has been like that all through, she always had this strong practical side to her ...

as for Samrat - Samrat wants her back in his life ... she hasn't said anything yet ... tho' the way she's behaving now shouldn't leave much doubt ... but they always TALKED earlier, and they still haven't ... so for the moment he chooses the easy way out of going along with her, because he doesn't want to fight with her, or risk what they have right now ... it's been a long time getting back to this stage ...

so both of them are not able to talk directly about where they are with each other, they're skirting around that main issue ... which is why this whole problem is arising.

My ONLY gripe is that the CV's need to get SG back to their usual serious mature selves ... that is the essence of SG ... and this is a serious track in itself ... I hope the light heartness and the comic Sam don't stay for too long ... and the last scene yesterday about his coaching a girls' BB team hopefully means that the seriousness and intensity of SG shd be back soon. And that they start talking and the essence of SG , their communication - should be restored.

The part that I loved and which really got me laughing ... Gunjan's expression when Nups announces her intention of shadowing her ... Gunji doesn't want!!! So much of sister! The days of worshipping Di are well and truly over!
