tbh totally agree about the final scene, it didn’t match the rest of the ep in intensity – a big argument needs a big reconciliation and what kate did was HUGE. in a way i’m glad they’re talking but it felt very unnatural

Yeah, they didn’t discuss the actual cause of the argument at all?? Instead, Kate brought up her jealousy and Rana answered to it (weirdly). The issue of Rana’s parents and how she’s handling that and Kate’s feelings about them and Kate going against Rana’s wishes was just completely dismissed. Rana’s father just told her wished she’d never been born and instead Zee took precedence? I know it’s a setup for the coming storyline but very, very poorly done.

why haven’t you been giffing (is that even a word?) the new kana scenes? hope i don’t seem rude. just curious! :)

Not rude at all, and I also use giffing and giffed. And giffer. 🙂

I’m still ready to gif Kana scenes, but I didn’t like Friday’s writing, including–or especially for the reconciliation scene at the end. It wasn’t earned and it really didn’t make sense at all, they weren’t talking like people, they were exchanging exposition as plot devices. It’s ironic I say this after praising the writing for making their motivations so clear just the other day, but it was Bad. Why did Rana bring up honesty when that wasn’t her issue with what Kate did? So that the writing could then have it flipped on her. And her answer when Kate brought up her being still so close to Zee, “he’s my husband”, as if it’s something she can’t change and it’s not up to her and that’s just the way of things, why can’t Kate understand. Psh. So even though the bit after when they made up was cute, it was so empty to me. 

Wednesday’s scenes I liked, but I now have solid work meetings that go through that block and by the time I get home and watch the eps, I’m already preparing for my primetime watching so those gifs end up falling lower on my list. If people have requests, I’ll usually end up doing those faster.

one thing i love about kate and rana right now is that you can sympathize with the both of them which i feel is rare in a ship, never mind a couple from a soap. i think they’re doing this story really well and portraying rana’s guilt and kate’s jealousy is such a true way.

Yeah, what always impressed me about this story was that both their motivations were clear, they didn’t go for the cheap trick where if only characters communicated, their problems would already be solved. In fact, they communicated a lot, I loved their conversations around the time of the wedding “you want me to want you but you’ll still marry him”, they were just such different people at such different places, both couldn’t see any option open to them. And slowly with time and more communication they arrived at the same place (to have an affair, d’oh! Soaps, right? I just shrugged at Kate’s inability to just wait it out). 

Which is why I was pissed at that two month period post Luke’s death where nothing made sense. But it seems they’re back in the same place they were before, where they both see the problem so clearly from their own point of view and can’t understand why the other can’t get it. And both sides are sympathetic!

Of course it’s weird for Kate to see Rana so much with Zee, but to Rana, she’s already given up everything to be with Kate, she can’t understand why there would even be any doubt. And then Rana is still mourning and missing her family, but to Kate, these are the people who tried to hurt her and no longer deserve her, if they loved Rana they wouldn’t have done what they did, it’s all so clear to her. This is the kind of internal conflict I can get, where the problem isn’t them being nasty to each other but simply unable to understand because of their wildly different perspectives.
