- I like the way she did the one scene when Draupadi has to try and be accepted into Virat's court with only the wife talking and just us imagining what she's saying.
- Keechnak is such a creep and the way his sister just justifies it and says oh just let it happen is infuriating. I'm glad Bhima killed him although maybe that was a bit too far.
- The big battle is finally happening! I was really wondering how they were going to show all of the battle since Draupadi can't really be in all the places at once to show us what's happening, so I like how she did it with her also having the sight like Sanjay.
- I feel so bad for Uttara! This war is going to be awful for her, and also for so many other people too! So many people will die and for what? I am glad that Draupadi does feel some remorse but too little too late.
- Hearing Arjuna talk about how honorable the war will be made me sad. It's like how boys think war is such a great and honorable thing until they're actually in one and then they realize that it's messy and complicated and bloody. They've all been in wars before so I wonder why they don't already know this.
- Poor Karna too! Having Draupadi see his conversation with Kunti and kind of grasp what happened was a nice touch, so she can finally understand some more of his motivations.
- I like the way she glossed over the Bhagavad Gita part with Krishna because it's been told so many times and I appreciate that she didn't feel the need to excessively narrate all of it.
