Episode Discussion Thread #18 01/09/2016 - END - Page 3

Yes, my pet! I was almost convinced that it had been shelved. Now to hope that we don't get this Khallatak as Chanakya. A worse choice could not be imagined!

The headdress looks era appropriate, and I like the hard, eager face, though the shot is distorted. Plenty of sword play to be looked forward to as well; Rajat is excellent at that. Anjali has started a thread. See you there!

What was the precap about?😲

It looked like Rani Dharma was having a heart attack or something.Her conscience, Charumitra and her darling husband all contributed to her mental stress.From the way she made Vit promise to bide by Ashok and Devi's side it looked as if Dharma had a premonition that she'll die sooner than later.Charu knew that she'll die soon,so she's doing her best to make sure that Dharma doesn't survive either.Dharma's death would mean that Ashok will be heartbroken and there'll be no one left to intervene on Ashok's behalf the next time Bindusar takes him in dislike.Never doubt that there'll be a next time.For all the putr prem that Bindusar sprouts he never rises up to the occasion by giving Ashok benefit of doubt.

Kaurwaki was hysterical,screeching like a banshee and Saumya was overacting as usual.I'd have thought she'd listened to her father at the wedding when he spoke about pointing fingers at others while three of them point back to yourself.For all the nonsense she sprouted about Magadh being the epicenter of all things evil, it could be argued that all those things are true about Kaling as well.If that soldier hadn't intervened she'd have decapitated Devi.

Devi was giving orders as if she was to the Manor born."Yeh mera adesh hai" .I loved how Ashok came to Devi's defense.He had time to think about the nastiness at the wedding and accepted part of the blame for himself.He apologised to Devi for his impulsiveness and dragging her into his affairs.And it was clear that he regretted his actions towards Kaurwaki.But Kaurwaki is still delusional and refuses to admit her share of the blame.As always it was all about I,me and myself.

Methinks that before the kaali shaktiyaan get her, Charumitra wants to do as much damage to Dharma as she can. I am not clear if she has been actually hexing her, or whether there has been some uncomfortable scene involving Ashoka and Devi that Charumitra has latched on to and is rubbing Dharma's nose in it. But all that rolling on the ground at the end did look like black magic.

Anyway, who cares! I have had enough of all these domestic shenanigans. Nor I am going to rejoice at every baby step that Ashoka and Devi take towards their grahast jeevan. It all bores me stiff, and I can stand neither this cow eyed Devi nor this shrill banshee of a Kaurwaki. The girl must have been cuckoo to go and land up on Kaurwaki after all that happened; what did she think she was going to get, an aarti?

And just see how incompetent Ashoka is! He could not even put paid to Jagannath, and that viper is alive and almost swasth!!! I would like to do a remix on Kaurwakispeak and exclaim: Ashoka, jo ek Jagannath ko tikhane nahin laga saka, wo Akand Bharat ke shatruon ko kya parast karega?

Well a gud episode

But I thought Dharma was murdered by mistake by Sushim & Co., the intended victim being Devi? Of course, we can get anything at all here, history being no leg shackle for the CVs.

Now of course if Dharma is gone, Ashoka can cry on Devi's shoulder. He won't have to bend extra either; she is the same height as Kaurwaki.

It was also interesting that Dharma did not have the guts to go and say farewell to Kaurwaki, after having been her Booster No.1 for so long. Her going would have been more appropriate than Devi landing up there. Ashoka's advice to Devi was wise, but she is riddled with guilt and will not heed it.

I thought that Dharma would be killed by the poisoned sword that Sushim has been preparing with scorpion venom.Well, Sushim can still stab her while she's in a coma.

Charu's sacrifice at this juncture seems out of character to her.I can't believe she sacrificed herself just to break Ashwaki wedding. What about later on when Sushim will need her help to get the throne.Chanda is such a goody-two shoes and Khallatak is too scared of Sushim to advise him properly.There'll be nobody left to curb his impulsiveness.Plus this seems like a cop out not to make her die by Ashok's hands.Apparently our hero can't kill a woman in cold blood.Nevermind what the historical Ashok would do in such a situation.

Of course, Devi asked for it.I don't think either Dharma or Devi needed to visit Kaurwaki or offer an explanation.That banshee pretty much made her own bed.KVK at the moment can't see beyond the fact that her favorite toy belongs to another girl and she can't play with it.

Devi seems so tiny and fragile beside Ashok that their embraces can rightly be termed as 'bear hugs'.

Haven't been here in a while...could someone tell me what happened the entire week and how AshVi got married?

I agree with you about Charumitra. It seems illogical and foolish for her to make this sacrifice, and for what? Breaking Ashoka's marriage to Kaurwaki? She must be cuckoo! Maybe she can claim that the kaali shaktiyaan did not work on Kaurwaki after all, and so she should get a refund of her life!😉

Well, Devi is the same height as Kaurwaki, and has the same build as well. And anyone would look fragile and tiny next to Mohit's Ashoka!

I think Dharma should have gone to see off Kaurwaki. It was she who boosted her from Day 1 right up D Day -1, in the face of Ashoka's opposition, and was gaga over her nonstop. If Dharma had had some good sense, Kaurwaki would have left Pataliputra long ago. And most important of all, Dharma is now consumed by a sense of guilt about what she believes she has done to Kaurwaki, which she herself terms akshamya. So it would have been natural for her to go and see her one last time. But she is not able to face her, as she says herself. If she had gone, the scene would have been very different, and perhaps Kaurwaki might have come to her senses to some extent.

Anyway, it is pointless to try and analyse this trashy script. I start doing it out of sheer habit, I think. 'Enuff!

Gosh!I feel like stop watching this show now.I am unable to tolerate this Quackwaki anymore. Shyam, can u term another better word for her?After watching her today,I felt like she was much better as selfish and obsessive lover.
