- I think it is interesting that so many epic stories, whether in Indian/Asian religions or the Abrahamic religions, have main characters go into exile. People at the time these stories were written must have seen a lot of value of surviving on your own in the desert or forest for a long time, or perhaps saw it as a time to learn and grow spiritually. I think the biggest difference between the Indian and Abrahamic religions are the fact that the characters in the Indian stories meet a number of people in their exile.
- Once again unique weapons are playing a large part in these stories. I guess that some people preferred the idea of weapons giving these characters god like abilities as opposed to the characters inherently possessing them.
- I am glad to see my favorite character Hanuman making a return. I am already thinking of ideas for a "where are they now" story about him.
- I wonder why the writers of this story decided to have so many brothers, when it appears that the story mainly focuses on a few of them such as Arjuna and Karna.
- I wonder what happens when an unstoppable force like a deadly magic arrow meets and immovable object like earrings that make the wearer invincible. Something tells me I will find out soon.
- The ability for the brothers to not be recognized by anyone is a great plot device.
- I'm glad a large battle is finally occurring. It is great to see some payoff for the characters I've been getting to know over the last week.
- I am familiar with the Bhagavad-Gita, I read parts in a highschool class. I had no idea there was this much backstory associated with it.
