So finally DV's ka IQ badh gaya 😆

From below 20 IQ they have now crossed an IQ of 50 after today's episode.

I was pleasantly surprised by the episode today. Ashok-Bindusar scene was the best in the whole episode.

I agree with Krystal regarding KVK. She seemed much more presentable today and her dialgoue was indeed spot on. But it's high time that they now leave for Kalinga and join the queen who is waiting for them. There's some limit for guests to hang around.

Helena is gearing up for action and I'm eagerly waiting for that. Enough of dumb villains like Rakshas and Keechak/Vatsasena who talk too much and execute little.

High time we saw some real plotting by a classy villain.

It's will be interesting if there's some Khorasani or Unani invasion on Magadh to spice up the show. I hope that ends up with Helena's exposure.

I want CV's to continue giving more screen time to RG and highlight his contribution towards Ashok's becoming a samrat.

Dharma pregnancy track should begin now. She's still running around as if nothing's happened.

Overall a fantastic week. CAS is back with a bang (as of now 😆). Looks like the TRP fall hit them hard. Excited for next week!

"her daughter and hubby are, I am leaning towards the piece someone here (I think it was Krystal) wrote where Mrs. Jaggannath actually wanted to get rid of both hubby and daughter (who would blame her). Why else would they be in PP? They were forced out of their own kingdom for its benefit."

Today's episode was spectacular minus a few shortcomings in terms of what I consider to be cheap entertainment.

Before that; @ Capricorn - you're right. I remember reading your post in the CNAT and replying to it as well. My apologies😊

On to the show -

The beginning scene of KVK telling Ashok that he isn't wrong in asking for the position of yuvraaj was fascinating. The dialogues were very sharp and acute and Reem did a fine job performing that particular scene. I noticed her voice modulation, her general facial expressions, and her overall performance wasn't too shabby, significantly better than the Taxilla track. The dialogues had a feel of the nostalgic old episodes, and honestly this is the type of KVK I wanted to see. Someone who is a strong adviser of Ashok, who stands by his side much like a shadow, watching over and stating her opinions to him directly when needed.

Helena's reply to Charu was apt, perfect. Sushim had an opportunity but he screwed it up himself. In fact, he dug his grave deeper when he acted fake and then showed his true colors moments afterward.

Little Drupad is always a treat to watch. Asking the maidservants if things have been prepared was very cute. It's good that he is getting a lot more screen time.

Dharma: Two things bother me about Dharma. Her clothing. I'm guessing she is wearing those garments because it's more comfier for a pregnant woman, and while I love these types of outfits for Dharma, I cannot help but wonder why she continues to get the short end of the stick when it comes to costumes. These are the things she wore before becoming the Rani of Magadh. Another thing is the continuous name-calling of "dasi". A few times is okay and understandable, but the DVs seem hell bent of making sure that Dharma's new name for the villains is "Dasi".

Siamak: Poor guy. Still continuing to get screwed over. Now all we see is a face contorted in rage whenever Ashok is mentioned. Since he is living with Helena, he should have picked up on Helena's cool, calm, strategic look; but instead he keeps acting angry whenever Ashok is shown / mentioned. I'm sure I skipped this, but shouldn't he be pissed at Sushim as well. After all, Sushim chose Ashok has the second heir (or whatever position).

Helena; Already mentioned her cool, calm stature during the raja-abhishek. The goal is for it to be difficult to predict Helena's thoughts and movements, and she does a splendid job doing so.

Ashok: That scene where he was telling Dharma that a mother's blessing is the most powerful thing in the world -- I noticed that Ashok looked different; he looked older, wiser, and more elegant. I don't know why the casting director is hunting down an older Ashok; they have such a fine gem with them, but they fail to recognize his talents.

Also, That last scene when he sits on the Yuvraaj throne. Holy Mother of all Forks --- that was by far one of the greatest moments in CAS history. Exactly like his Samrat Vanraj days.

Another great episode with extremely well done dialogues. Well done CVs. Continue this and you'll start achieving higher TRPs (though to be fair, this should have been done a long time ago).
