Hope so too. Stage looking so opulent should be matched with al great kings. I think one whole episode will be spent on king's entry.

Looking forward to Balram as well. This Balram is scary and unapproachable, but nonetheless impressive. I am curious about him.

But that seems discourteous. They have already introduced the contest and its rules to the kings present. How will it look if other kings enter after the contest had begun? Isn't it basic courtesy for the host to commence the event only after all the guests have been properly welcomed and seated themselves?

And also Duryodhan (or any other Kshatriya present) wasn't as humble as here its shown to admit that he's not skilled enough to win the contest or send a representative while he's himself present at the event. Both of this (esp latter act) would have been too humiliating for Duryodhan or even a nobler soul like Yudhishtir to do.

The CVs are into big mess, as it appears to me. For portraying Draupadi as innocent and non-casteist they had to make inconsistent distortions to characters and events.

After the swayamvar, my guess is that they will show krishna convincing kunti and co. to go back to hastinapur and claim their kingdom. Leaping to khandava parva next.
