I liked today's episode ... favorite part being the Karna-Abhi scene. Sure it was ridiculous but it's memorable.
On the same level would be the Panchaali scene. Pooja .. you drove chills up my back today with your dialogue! Fantastic job.
After Pooja, it would be the Arjun-Abhi scene. Very well performed on both sides.
And of course the pre-cap. Very out of line, but I'll admit it made me smile in amazement and a part of me is eager for tomorrow's episode.
=============
The negatives are pretty clear at this point but here are my biggest issues with today's episode from greatest to least.
1. StarBhim... I hate his character so much nowadays. I can't take it. His crying while watching Abhi die, his crying while watching the Kauravas dance around Abhi, his cries towards StarDrona ... If Bhim was ever in StarBhim's situation, he would either be fighting, beating the ship out of StarDrona after war ending hours, or would have given chase to StarJayadrath and make him pay. But I guess it all makes sense. If StarBhim was portrayed as Bhim, than StarArjun wouldn't be able to do much. And don't even remind me of his "Nakul, Sahadev ... divya aushaadi liyao aur iske praan bachao, chahe mera praan kyu na lena padega" ... **vomits in mouth** ... that's twice we've seen StarBhim want to commit suicide. **whistle**
2. I didn't like how Abhi didn't mention his last moments to Arjun. I mean it's a good thing he didn't (that'll throw water over the whole Ka vs. Ju rivalry) and I'm curious to see if the StarPandavas will tell Arjun tomorrow about Karna's hug and his role in Abhi's mercy killing. This would be a huge KaJu moment (silent woot from me), but it would add extreme distortions. I don't know ... I want one final KaJu moment that doesn't add any more unnecessary distortions .. it's a request that I hope I don't get to see.

Laughs:
1. StarSubhi - uhm ... didn't understand half the things she was saying ... but I'm guessing this is how the CVs wanted it to be - so my blame goes towards CVs and not Veebha.
2. Karna just packing up and leaving after he kills Abhi ... very confused character.
========================
In the end, I'd say it's a watch-worthy episode (@ Anjana). It's nothing but distortions, but there are certain scenes that (in my opinion) carry the episode despite all that weird stuff. StarAbhi's ethereal body that just begins to show effects of his death is creepy and creative, but it wasn't really continued. Arjun's rage should have theoretically come into place at this point, where Abhi vanishes from his eyes, but he makes his way back to camp and then the rage kicks in. Creatively, it's a good idea to play with, but there are a few gaps that would have been nice to have addressed.
To end on a question:
Does this mean that imaginary StarKunti, when she appeared on the battlefield to scold StarKarna, could have been attacked and badly injured or something? Or are we talking about different levels of ethereal bodies?
