- interesting that Bhima's son says he will always be there for his father and not the other way around

- Karna went to compete for the princess, but then when he was recognized as a charioteer and not a prince he said he did not want her

- what the heck kind of attitude is that

- Arjuna competed and won but people were mad because he was a brahmin

- Draupadi ended up being the wife of all 5! because of a joke, uno reverse sister wives moment

- Arjuna walked in on her and his brother therefore putting himself in exile

- he accidentally did it as a dog stole his brother's shoes

- Yudhishthira gambled everything away

- he gambled himself away before her so she should not be his slave but he was not listening- Dhritarashtra understanding that Draupadi had protection of the gods gave her a boon and all she wanted was for them to be free so he restored everything

- The Pandva's went into exile because Yudhishthira lost again

- Jayadratha came to take Draupadi away almost lie Ravana
