A TASTE OF THINGS TO COME …. the promo and the promotional pictures and video are a premonition of what is to follow . By now we are accustomed to sudden turns and surprises unlike the sustained characterisation of Sultan Melikshah , Sultan Alparslan and Ertugral across the board .
The innocence and purity of Bala Hatun’s persona is replaced , by an attempt at maturity in her appearance , particularly the eye make up in the first promo . A look that somehow holds experience , compliance.
Conversely the elation and joy in Yidiz’s appearance in the fairy green dress is celebratory . Youthful vibes / jubilation .
Then , Bala’s position as she moves behind Osman gently as though taking shelter is a foretaste of the latest picture where inspite of being by his side ,
She and Alaeddin stand apart . It has been pointed out by a number of viewers. Personally beginning the season with a shattered Bala is an ill omen .By now we had hopes of moving on instead of watching yet another victimisation of Bala Hatun …I could hear Osman from the past “SABR BALA SABR. “. On a lighter note , now that Osman and Malhun have attained
eternal youth and Bala has distinctly aged … what next ?
