I'm beginning to think that Kate flirts with anything that has a pulse. Then again, it looks like Ravi is flirting back! Sort of.

Kate goes back out on the street. "He's out there, which means I am, too." (Although there's no sign of her for a good twenty minutes.) It's interesting that Helen reassures Kate about Will. Have I missed something there?

"You did what you had to do." It's good to see that Kate's the pragmatic one. A more flexible sense of morality than either Magnus or Will, I suspect.

I'm curious if Will's speaking actual Hindi. And whether Terrence is actually evil, or just misguided.

You know, they could have done more with Kate in this episode: given her a more integrated background for the time in India. Yes, it's reasonable for a woman her age and background to be disconnected from her roots, but it would have been a useful way of utilising her more effectively in the episode.

I wonder how much Bollywood Robin Dunne had to watch to do this. And whether it's a specific type of dance that he's performing. The setup would appear to be a bridegroom-to-a-bride dance. (Not sure: haven't watched enough Bollywood. Makes my teeth itch.) Although the whole thing about Durga? Slightly problematic in that Durga is a feminine force, IIRC. And the mothering aspect of the goddess Kali, who is more often known as a destroyer.

One thing that annoys me is that the bad guys in this series often tend to be dreadfully "I am evil, hear me roar!" It's a bit OTT for my liking.

And we have Kali as Destroyer for the ending. Complete with tsunami cliffhanger.

Canadian Actor Bingo: Carson Beckett's Abnormal Cousin! (Terence Wexford, was it?) Like his evil twin clone.

And now, we wait for Kali III to download.

Yeah, basically. It's just seems to be one of the main ways she interacts with people.
