And I'm so glad you all like this idea and are getting inspired to create your own diaries for the other shows, can't wait to read them as well!
And now for the individual replies...
You're a sweetheart for uploading them on youtube, and for finding the uploaders who already did. Lols, I'm glad I made some new points, I was afraid I was being too repeptitive from our prev convos, but since no one else read them, I decided to just post all my thoughts.
And yes, I agree with you about Kans' character development being butchered by the editing. I was especially disappointed that they had skipped the whole poilitical meeting with Vasudev's kingdom and Ugrasen's kingdom. It was where Vasudev's engagement with Devaki had been finalized, and also where Kans's inner character came to light. Not to mention that my dad, who is rather interested with India's historical politics, would have enjoyed that scene a lot.
Are you kidding me??? I never saw a Telugu Krishna movie before where the baby being killed was shown. The most they ever showed was in shadow format, much like this serial with the other babies. I agree that this subtle yet intesely emotional way of showing Devaki's pain and desperation outdoes any gory detail. Gory stuff often ruin the meaning of the scene. And you're right about the baby. He/she was just sooooo tiny that I really hope the Sagar team and the actors handled him/her carefully while filming the scene. The baby could not have been more than a month old in real life.
, the scene in general was taken well and the fury and anger on Ugrasens's face was a definite welcome to the way many movies portrayed him as a weak King frightened of his own son. And thanks for the details on all the missing scenes. I remember seeing them on dailymotion, but also that I was confused because of the lack of subtitles. Having the subtitles while watching it on DVD, it is soooooooo much easier associating names to the faces, that I do not mixup Akroor, Chanoor, or Garg anymore.
I've always loved keeping diaries, but I'm just so lazy writing about myself in a book, cause nothing exciting ever happens in my life worth noting down. But with mythos, so many people love them that I know my words will not put someone to sleep (hopefully). Yaaaaay, def looking forward to your diaries on Meera and new Ramayan
, will prob start Meera with you so we both can share our thoughts.
Definitely, do well on your finals first, and then join us again on Monday.
I'm so glad you like the thread, thank you so much!
Sureee, read when you have time, can't wait for your inputs.

Lols yes, you can totally tell the difference between what your wrote then w/o the subtitles and the reactions now, it's more than worth it Will have those 2-3 vids on Kans's wedding up with subtitles next week, you'll see they were pretty important in making the stuff that followed more coherent. But that particular court scene does have subtitles, do show it to your dad some time... and oh no, most of the mytho movies show it the same way in slhouettes (except BRC who showed it on camera and even kept bloodstains on the walls but the babies were clearly fake so it wasn't as awful as it sounds)... I meant violent/gory scenes in general that are supposed to get a reaction out of us but the goriness and loudness takes away from the emotion unlike it did here (e.g. Sunny Deol, Akshay Kumar, and Sunil Shetty's action movies from the early 90s ). And yeah re: the Ugrasen-Kans scene the fighting itself was pretty fake, but the fact that we saw some planning and some aggression rather than a seemingly impromptu declaration by Kans of "hmm... I think I'll dethrone dad today!!" like we see/read elsewhere made more sense and was more entertaining. Now onto the new entries... Overall he's so peppy and happy and energetic that his scenes are really a treat to watch. And I really love the intro music to Jai Sankarshan Jai Balram before Narad appears... it's soooo sweet, I wish it was longer.
Check it out and compare, lemme know whatchya think: But it was worth it because Vasuji's pleading expression before the mean lady snatches the baby from him is sooooooo perfect 
And of course, Vilas Raj going bonkers was quite entertaining And ditto @ your reaction to the super cute baby-Balram-bows-to-Kanha scene... never seen babies that talented But were you as shocked as me seeing how they let the poor kid fall off the bed to signal to Rohini that Kanha's home?? Not very nice But anyway the scene and the lyrics of the song that played over it were really really cute 
, Garg-Akrur's subsequent convo on how God can very well take care of His devotees so Akrur need not worry, Yashoda's baby shower, Narad and Shri Krishna's convo (following ballistic Kans who saw Vishnu in his water jug) about how God appears to each one in the form they dwell on (jaaki rahi bhaavna jaisi), and VD's temporary release from the prison followed by their homecoming.

I dislike it when serials/movies elongate the doings of rakshasas when they happen quite quickly in the books, so RS's handling of the rakshasas so far is really noteworthy. Even my dad said the same thing, that one of the main differences between old and new serials (mytho/non-mytho) is that in the old ones, the events happened quickly and we got to see more information displayed in one episode itself, while in the new ones, most of the episode is dominated by eyelocks and/or elongating thoughts of the characters. Choooo cute! And I also loved the scene where Devaki Maiyya stitches two pieces of clothing for Balram when she hears that Gargji is going to Gokul, because she does not know how big he is and wants Maharishi Garg to decide. Her expressions were just soooooooooo cute, and her similar description of a mother's love was equally sweet. Somewhere in between was the scene where Krishna got his first Mor Mukut, and that too was just adorable. The baby seemed really excited with the crown, and he in general was such a cheerful child. Baby Balram's reaction to the crown was also so cute, too bad poor Nandraiji and the others could not guess the true meaning of his tears. He seemed so into his character just like the others. After the actor who played Valmiki in RS's Ramayan (was he Vijay Kavish, same as Lord Shiva?), I think this actor is my fav munivar. And it seemed as if Baby Balram was giving him a look that read, "Look mister, you had better give me one cool name or else!" Jai Sankarshan, Jai Balram! Hope I didn't forget anything important in these two episodes.The following 7 member(s) liked the above post:

... guess you know it quite well ... Will write in detail later. Reading of your entires of 11 and 12 Dec are still left... Now just wanted to write about Shridhar incident and Naamkaran ceremony. ... I just LOVE the expression of Gargyacharya , the meaning of the name Krishna and specially the two songs- 'Baal roop dekhe..' and 'Shakti kahan jo mai kahun...' They are Pure Bliss to me always!
), Loved that story also- how the Lord cares to keep the promise made by His Devotee- amazing! Actually ALL the sc.s of SK are Sooo Significant that I can keep on writing about them and still won't get satisfied ever ... 
.
I specially remember that person who went to Nand baba and consoled 'Yashoda chachi'- that persons seemed to me of the same age as Yashoda . Taking Refuge in Him/ Total Surrender/ The element of God in us bring forth the positivity in us- this sc represents it too well!! Th' the concept of Surrender is not applicable to Devaki- Vasudev (they are way beyond it, about which I recently came to know in a discussion with Lola ) but just wanted to refer to the element of positivity thr' that sc .The following 2 member(s) liked the above post:
