Thanks Huma 🤗
A mostly blah episode with Bani and Veer running around like teenagers I mean, I love the romance and all, but that mistletoe thing should have been one scene. They were cute though, but I'd like to see them working together as a team, not just having random cute moments. Baaki Himanshu ki choreography toh zindabaad
Jai was very good today - finally full on evil like we wanted. It looks like he is now Markaat. Technically, did Shivji say that Adi Naagin was the only one who can kill 'Markaat' (rather than 'Chandrakala')? I can't remember, and I can't be bothered to go find out. For some reason they dumped the Chandru track super quick (I guess since it wasn't working out), so IDK if that's a loophole or what. I guess if they want to honour that promise, they'll have Bani kill Jai in the end, but who knows.
Huma, from what I understood about that mrituyog thing - someone manipulated the planets to move towards each other in a way they weren't supposed to at this point in time, and the panditian said the only one with the power to do that was Markaat, to which Jai was like "yeah, me". So I think somehow Jai-as-Markaat has done something that puts Bani in more danger than before, but IDK if this angel guy's arrival is part of that or just a coincidence...
As much as Panditian and 'Sapera Baba' (LOL at Bani calling him that to his face) annoy me with their constant "can't help" jaap, I don't want Panditian to die...but it looks like that's what will happen.
This Angelman dude seems like a manifestation of the "where is the revenge" section of the audience here to remind Bani of her original vow. I don't know how she'll reconcile that with her love for Veer now...clearly she won't harm him but will she kill members of his family? Additionally, even though this guy says he's a friend to the naagvansh...could be he's playing some double game.
I think more than the ep itself (which seemed more like a filler, and a set-up for the next track), I'm more interested in the idea that this guy is here to set Bani on the path of revenge...somehow. In the end I think it's again about her choosing Veer despite him being "the enemy", but hopefully aside from that it will also refocus her on the other reasons for her rebirth.
(A complete side note, but I'm starting to feel like I'd be more interested in the eps if I hadn't seen every bit of BTS coming out the week prior to them airing I always knew that my experience of watching shows is increased when I don't pay attention to and analyse every detail in advance, but today esp I felt like I'd been watching this ep for weeks already
I may have to do something about that...)
