Can one spoil an epic?  (Well, yes, you can, as I don't want spoilers!)

I am now on ep 4 of 90 or so, with the consequence (possibly the first of many?) of Bhishma's TERRIBLE OATH!

hee! )

I probably totally just mispelled that, but please forgive me if I did.

Anyway, [livejournal.com profile] prozacpark , Karen-who-almost-none-of-you-know and I have started watching what we think is the 1989 version of this.  It is 90 episodes, and it is highly debatable whether or not we'll last that long.  (Well, I can, but I don't know if I can last 90 streaming episodes with questionable subs on my own.  Though if anyone knows of good DLs or legal DVDs...)  It's cheesy fdor the comparative production values, but solid with the story and acting.

Currently, we all madly ship the king and the goddess, and think their kid is a tool.  He's the biggest threat to our interest level.  Also, the goddess's wardrobe is limited but fabulous, and the king has one of the best WOE! looks ever.  Despite the stache.

Anyway, as I know a few here are big fans of the story, can anyone rec a good translation, and/or books based on it?
