Hits: Ram & Sita reprimanding Shurpankha for misinterpreting their statements. For one moment I thought would Sita give in to Shurpankha's appeal to her... it was an ultimate and diplomatic move by Shurpankha. Sita is a woman. A woman can empathize with another woman's feelings, particularly a sensitive woman like Sita. So when a diabolical woman like Shurpankha was trying to drive a wedge between Ram and Sita, using fake empathy as her weapon, Sita did not waver. She did not barter Ram away impulsively.
I am saying this, because in another mythological serial I am currently watching, Parvati falls prey to this mistake when her dearest friend, Indra's daughter, Jayadri falls in love with Mahadev. Parvati impulsively grants her a boon of becoming Mahadev's ardha-bharya (half-wife) in next birth. In next birth when Parvati too is reborn, she is condemned to a life of sharing Mahadev's avatar with another wife. Even worse, she doesn't recall her base form as Parvati. Neither does she recall Jayadri, nor does she recall ever granting her a boon. Life becomes a living hell for Parvati's reincarnation, constantly being angry, jealous, sad, suspicious yet unable to do anything about it! Whereas, Mahadev's avatar has to bear the brunt of Parvati's boon. People usually empathize with Jayadri's reincarnation because Parvati's reincarnation treats her with contempt. But I truly feel sorry for Parvati's reincarnation for having to watch her husband being shared by another woman.
Another high point for me was Lakshman - He was genuinely concerned for Sita when she sprained her ankle, was willing to bear the sin of murdering a woman for the sake of his brother and sister-in-law and ultimately threw the weapon in Shurpankha's direction to protect his loved ones!
Misses: Ram not recognizing that something is off with Sita. They are supposed to be soul mates, correct? Sita and Lakshman arriving at the cottage in nick of time to save Ram from eating that aphrodisiac fruit. Sita realizes something is wrong, but Ram doesn't? Bit much? Sita running behind Shurpankha, telling her to kill her instead to take her revenge and trying to reason with her convoluted logic and blaming Lakshman. Complete miss! If anyone had a right to say anything to Lakshman, it was Ram, not Sita! Babe, he saved you from that lady-monster who was coming to kill you & had plans to deceitfully defile Ram, remember? What is it with Sita and Lakshman anyway? Looks like she is barely tolerating him for the sake of Ram... either the dialogues are way off or the actress is giving that impression - unbelievable! Creatives need to do something about Sita's attitude towards Lakshman pronto! It is becoming more and more obvious that she is uncomfortable with Lakshman's presence.
