Added DiffLines:

* EpicFail: For all of Duryodhana’s bluster [[Recap/MahabharataS01E78 about his Army never letting Arjun get anywhere close to Bhishma]], Arjun gets within archery range of Bhishma, five minutes in to the episode.
* DueToTheDead: Bhishma isn’t dead yet, but everyone behaves as though he is. He therefore gets a half episode worth of weeping, grieving and paying of respects.
