While chatting to my TVSA buds on what is going on in TVland - I discovered over half of them have moved from Horizon Deep to Rhythm City. So I watched the Isidee omnibus(10/01/2008) to check.
Len is back, with a huge ego and has taken over Natasha' talk show. Natasha is crying all the time and has gone down under (Australia) to visit her annoying daughter Nikki. Letti is still hovering over the Matabanes as the final dealings with her clothes needs to be sorted. Thandi is walking on thin ice; asking and almost pushing Parson’s to divorce Nandipha in absentia. Zeb is a changed man, I think. His new listening and understanding self is very foreign to me. Frank is an arsehole - but I seem to like it. He has even started to look human to me - not robotic as he has forever seemed to me.
Zeb is pushing Thandi into the family - everywhere! Onto Parsons who seems to be pulling back since her request for the divorce proceedings to start and even onto Mama Agnes who is just trying to get by. What is the motive? To replace Letti or to push for those Matabane grandchildren he so desperately wants.
Foot Gals club - Maggie and co are starting a girlie club with self-declared tomboy Priya as a member. Stella has a foot phobia and the first club gathering is spa treatments with pedi's (pedicures) as the order of the day. So the whole week they have been trying to convince Stella that getting spa treatments is okay. I would pay with my fave book to get a full spa treatment right now! hai!
Everyone is working on their resolutions - Vusi is mending his relationship with the Matabanes and going to gym with Parsons. So we hope they lose some weight and gain muscle for our ogling eyes. Maggie is struggling with her no gossiping resolution. Not quite that easy, Mags.
Somehow, it wasn't captivating to watch. There are some visible changes like less but more Neo - more scenes with the child actor and less camera shots of him. Less Matabane traditions.
I have a few things the producers can lose and get some more viewers while at it – ~ Lose Neo altogether unless the biological father is coming to claim him back,
~ Bring Cherel back even if for 6 episodes,
~ Get Pamela Nomvete or Tina Jaxa a super character and bring her on board,
~ Explore the Siyanda baby storyline further,
~ Kill Nandipha from stress-related complications wherever she is
~ Get Rajesh a superwoman to bear him kids and while at that bring his fly brothers back.
I guess I'll stick around the dying mine town just for loyalty to Mama Aggie but am really curious about what the CITY is doing to call the peeps. Can someone blog it?
