I gave up on IB around the time DBO started and it was just crap (IB is pretty bad too, bad with some fluff thrown in here and there) but I miss reading your live blogs so much. Sometimes I still read them and everything is awesome about them. Stuff like this for example: "THE FUCK AM I GONNA DO WITH 10 CRORES AROUND MY WRIST". If one thing makes me consider catching up on IB it's you. I promise that if I don't catch up on actually watching the show I will at least go back & read all your stuff
no wait, I cannot leave the previous ask without mentioning the best thing about IB: the comedy is really really good. Too bad it’s mixed with all the illogical BS around and all the dragging and the excess lights that hurt my eyes. And the billion nonsense villains that entered the show. And Rudra leaving.. Gahh I can’t go back to it. But your lb are great!
Thank you so much for the liveblog love! I’m glad other people find my nonsensical scream-crying @ this godforsaken show as therapeutic as I do! I feel such a sense of relief once I’ve hit “post” on the lb and have let all my bhadaaaaas at the show out.
I completely agree with you on the comedy bits of the show. The dialogues of this show have always been the true draw. From Anika and Rudra’s witticisms, to now fake!Shivaay’s AMAZING inner monologue and side-eye at the Oberois and their fuckery (honestly the only thing I keep watching for these days. I fucking love love love fake!Shivaay okay? He’s a hoot and a half. I’m in half the mind to suggest they replace real!Shivaay with this guy forever.)
IMO, the lighting of the show is muchhhhhh better now, but the VFX, lord above. I feel like I’m watching some jankyass off-brand video game from the 90s. And *sigh*, while we’re all sad about Leenesh’s departure, I’m still (rather foolishly!) holding out hope that they’ll just replace the face and not actually kill off the character. Let’s see how it goes! Meanwhile enjoy watching me have a public breakdown of sorts over fictional people who don’t deserve it! ;)
