| To Ash and Galaxy: You two make very compelling arguments as to why this amputation storyline can be a great one for the roomie relationship. It can really heighten the drama and intensity between these two characters that we've never seen before. It may also give Neela the opportunity to really express how she feels and really fight for what she wants for a change instead of keeping her feelings on the inside. So from that standpoint, the amputation arc seems to be appealing.
However, I think Sandal's point of view is coming from a place of general frustration that all roomie fans feel. So I can also relate to her argument as well. As a loyal roomie fan and a major shipper of this couple, I wish that TPTB had gone a less tragic route. Perhaps, another storyline could have worked and been equally effective. I think that the underlying problem is that TPTB never really gave Ray anything to do(especially in season 13) other than pine over Neela. Then the next thing you know, they just drop this bomb on us that Ray's legs has been amputated. It just seemed kinda cheap to me and just another typical "shock value" moment ala TPTB.
So, I guess what I'm saying is, I agree with all three of you.
P.S.- Love the new thread title(Boy we sure go through these threads fast don't we? ) |
