I want Mohini there with Mahadev at some point. And their son, Lord Ayyappa. With a bewildered Parvati and Lakshmi looking on from the side. 😍

If Samudra Manthan is the next thing they show, then Taki would by default be the asura ruler, given that Kartikeya hasn't slain him. In the actual Samudra Manthan story, there was no asura leader - the only ones we know of are Rahu/Ketu, but there is nothing to suggest that they were leading the pack, just that they were suspicious of Mohini. There is nothing to suggest that Taki was around when Samudra Manthan happened. Or Vritra.

But is the Samudra Manthan story there in the Shiva Purana? What Shiva did there was important, yet that whole thing was more of a Narayan project, and the only thing Shiva did was drink the Halahala. Whenever I read about the Samudra Manthan episode, Mahadev's role always seems peripheral - almost like Rahu-Ketu drinking the amrit. So I wonder whether they would (or should) be showing that entire story, given that it was Vishnu who organized and drove this entire activity.

The other reason they can't show it - how could they then show Lakshmi emerging from the ocean to marry Vishnu, since in the serial, she's already married to Vishnu? Unless they decide not to show that. Unless they cause Lakshmi to leave Vishnu, and return via this event.

Other thing they could do now - get to the sacrifice of Dadhichi, & Indra killing Vritra story. Then show Durvasa's curse flashback, and get to the Samudra Manthan thing. Ideally, however, it would be better if Samudra Manthan happened after the killing of Taki. Anyone know whether Kartikeya and Ganesh were around @ the time?
