Krishna is so fake and his dialogues are so banal (I have normally been fast forwarding all his scenes right from the beginning). Bhishma, Arjun, Draupadi - all of them are out of character. From a charioteer to a king, everyone lectures on Dharma-Adharma all the time and either you have perfectly humble and righteous good guys or you have evil heartless bad guys. Duryodhan's insecurities or his emotional bond with Karna has so far been ignored. Arjun, Karna and Draupadi lack vigour, pride and arrogance that is characteristic of blue blood. In other words, the characters are strictly one-dimensional. There's no grey or challenging character that one can relate to or be forced to ponder upon. Above all the script is directionless and weeks after weeks are being wasted with useless events. </font>

today's episode was beyond sad ... I can't even classify it as a joke or even stupid or dumb or lame or foolish or crappy or painful or ... you get the point...

1. We have Draupadi lecturing the Pandavas about why they shouldn't go to war ... I refuse to comment

This in particular is a scene to laugh at since in the future she will be speaking the exact opposite of this. But only we know what she will say, she doesnt.🤔 How messed up is that?

2. We have Arjun running 100s of miles to get to his frickin' bow, whereas the other Pandavas just grabbed their weapons from their chariots!! Ship! Was there no parking near the front? Oh wait, it's an empty desert ... how can there not be parking!!

That was just

3. We saw the pre-postMahabharat with everyone walking around the dead bodies and feeling sad ... really CVs .. really. Oh my goodness ... how will the Pandavas justify the war if wifey got upset

3a. ok I have to ask -- how did Yuddhi know that these people weren't dead? He coolly tells Draupadi "babes, there's nothing to cry about. This is all maya. They will recover when the snakes that bit them takes back the poison" (not sure if that's an exact translation or if it is supposed to mean any snake... but if it is the former case - what if they killed the snake that bit a person?)

What i couldn't understand was that why didnt Yudhi gave them a lesson on "Khandavprastha Naags 101" before walking them right into the mouth of venomous danger? Didnt Bhishma went there before the Pandavas came back to HP? You would think that more warning would be given to them if the snake population was intolerant and ever ready to go on a bite fest.

4. Draupadi freaks out over the death of innocent ... well it's official .. the mahabharata war wasn't fought for Draupadi ... heck I don't even know what role Draupadi is supposed to be playing in the overall serial!!

Probably because it was her "Praja" and no one of them had tried to touch her hair or Saree ka Pallu. The only thing i saw was the new Design of the Chudamani on her head. I was literally freaking about that.

I just saw the new Promo, which is not new but actually the old one. "TUMNE DRAUPADI KI VIVASHTA DEKHI HAI. AB MAI TUMHARA VIDWANSA DEKHUNGI"

Its the whole thing, only in the end they add, " Ab Shuru Hoga Wo Adhyaye Jisne Mahabharat ko Kurukshetra tak Pohocha Diya"

5. Takshak? I saw Kaliya Naag ... 😆 Only difference is that this isn't the Yamuna, this isn't Vrindavan, and there isn't supposed to be a Takshak!!!

6. All it took was one arrow from Arjun to make Takshak bleed like crazy ... why didn't he just fire 5 arrows ... one for each head and be done with it...

Word! Didnt he shoot five arrows to drop them at the feet of his elders in the Rangbhoomi?🤔

I guess those kind of arrows are specifically made for doing Air Pranipaaths. Probably not mayavi like the one she shoot at Takshak, because it exploded like a bomb at Takshaks Neck.

Those kind of arrows can not be appropriate for shooting respect at your elders feet.

7. Bhim consoling Draupadi was funny. I would have been like "SHUT UP and STOP CRYING" .. ok maybe I wouldn't say those words since it's Pooja and all🤪 ... oh leave me alone...

OH!😳😳

8. Vrushali holding the snake was funny. wait ... how did she even catch it .. why not just put it on the ground and stomp on it ... or was that too hard...

Showing her jumping from such a height was sooo stupid. There water was so still beneath her though. How will she float away to HP to her Sasur? She should be dead after jumping from that height.

9. The precap obviously shows Arjun taking on his father Indra.. so what changes between now and MB war... is it because Arjun has more a relationship with Bhishma, Drona, Dury, etc. that he doesn't want to fight?

But he did fight with Indra in the Khandavanahan Parva. I think he knew that he was fighting with his Father.🤔 Dont know what to think about this.

10. This is another precap question: We see Arjun shooting an arrow at a mountain or large stone or something and he manages to break it into smaller pieces, but it still crushes him (Here is where Draupadi screams "Arya") ... ok ... we saw a similar thing happening when Arjun entered the Rangbhoomi ... except that time he was unaware of what was going to happen ... and as quick as lightening he built a canopy of arrows over his head. So I just don't understand what the chips is going on!!!

Sigh ... CVs are distorting their own story now... can it get any worse?

11. Before I forget - we see flying snakes... so why not just spew the venom ... why do them have to bite ... why not just spew the saliva (think salivary glands). Speaking of which ... if snakes can fly... why not capture a bunch of snakes, de-venomize them, and strap them on to your feet and have them take you places ... a personal jetpack!!

the big question is - do the CVs actually come here to see these posts? and if so they have thick skulls and if not we should send them the links of these threads!!!
