So I've been watching to episodes out of order, so after finishing Mon/Tues's episodes -- I have some comments

Monday: It was a nice episode... I liked it a lot. Again Draupadi with the hair kept down > Draupadi with the styling hair-do.

Tuesday: as we all know was weird. I have some questions:

1) The Pandavas obviously made it clear to the sages the following:

a) Only Ashwatthama and Drona could recognize them

b) They each preferred a specific weapon and thus practiced with only that

c) They were outside of the Kuru territory.

d) They were 5 brothers and 1 mother...

So was it really this hard to figure out that they are the Pandavas?

2) while Arjun was running from Ashwatthama (apparently running is faster than riding a horse), did anyone notice that the bow changed hands

Not just that - did you notice that when the Pandavas were running, Kunti too ran just as fast?

Also, in Friday's episode, Krishna told Drupada that he'd have to kill him, and the mace started hurtling towards him. Draupadi started running, and got in front of Drupada b4 the mace could reach him. So Draupadi in a sari can run faster than Krishna's mace can fly 😆

So when Dushashan tries to do her vastraharan, Draupadi should simply start running away from Hastinapur towards Panchala (Drupada's, not Ashwatthama's). Dushashan would fail to catch him.

3) Did you guys see Yudhi's face during the scene where Arjun suggested that they rest in that forest, and then Kunti was like "Is resting okay Yuddhistir?" ... it was like "Mother, Arjun already said so ... so why are you asking me" 😆 ... and then Yuddhi was like "besides it doesn't make a difference" ... and all of a sudden Arjun was like "it's a mayavi forest!" ... stealing whatever little lines poor Yuddhi has 😭

When Bhima uprooted the tree and the tree rooted itself back, couldn't none of his brothers standing behind him tell him that his directions are correct, and that the tree put itself back, and that he wasn't mistaken? 😆

That's what I was wondering as well - how does the dasi putri get to leave the city w/ her? And not Shikhandini?

Also, Shikhandini showed a bit of mahanness by raising her sword against Krishna in defense of her father? If she did that, couldn't she have done what Draupadi did as well? Yeah, yeah, she's the nayika and Shihandini isn't, but even then, can't Shikhandini stand in front of her father, who just fired her as senapatni? Also, Draupadi has been expelled from Kampiliya, and Krishna was in Kampiliya wrecking havoc - so how did Draupadi go back?

After reading Srushti's writeup - I had one question I didn't really get -

the mace was magnetic as seen in the serial, but shouldn't the magnetic force also pick up some soldiers too since the weapons were probably not the only things made from something metallic. I mean why weren't the soldiers lifted up into the air and dropped to the ground when they let go of their weapons.

Hell it would have been awesome to see a big circle of weapons and soldiers circling the gada as it rotates ... well that's how I would have done it ... if they took it this far, they could have made it even better.

If shikhandini would have run and stood in front of her father how could CV's have shown Draupadi's bravery and strength.The things that are actually there in the epic to show Drauapdi's fierceness and bravery arent enough for the CV's they need to add extra things to show how brave she was

Wahi to Kunti maata itni fast h,ye to mjhe Varnavrat m bhi nhi pta tha...🤣🤣

Ya,Draupadi-the Super-woman...😆😆😆
