चल आ तेरे पैरों पर मरहम लगा दू ऐ मुकद्दर
कुछ चोटे तुझे भी आई होगी
मेरे सपनोंको ठोकर मारकर

Supernatural, Season 10, Episode 9

I was afraid that Castiel was next in line after Hannah decided to leave her vessel and return to heaven (or wherever it is that angels are supposed to go to!). So I was mightily relieved when it was mentioned that the soul of his vessel is long gone and so not much would be accomplished even if he were to leave his body. Somehow I don't think Sam would be upto the task of dealing with Dean turning dark again. Speaking of which, I would hate to see Dean going black-eyes-kill-everyone-in-your-path again. So I hope it doesn't happen for a few more episodes again.

Thankfully, Crowley is around and that's some relief. Can't believe I am saying this about the King of Hell. It would be interesting to see what the mother-son duo has in store for us. Hope they steer clear of the Winchesters though.

Guess we will now have to wait till mid January for the next episode. :-(

Elementary, Season 3, Episode 6

It could be because I was doing a zillion other things while the episode on a Sunday afternoon but I found this case to be a rather complicated one. I had my suspicions about the heiress the moment she made an appearance (as I had about the Indian guy, Amit Hattengatti, in one of the earlier episodes) I couldn't quite sort out in the end who wanted the original Bray map and who didn't. I guess the heiress wanted the fake one so a casino could be constructed on the land owned by her family while the other guy wanted the fake one so that the construction of the casino could be halted. Ah well, as long as Sherlock and company got all that squared away.

It is good to see Sherlock becoming more and more human. I know I hadn't liked Kitty's character very much at the beginning of this season. But I think I like seeing the three of them working together. Not quite the case of 'too many cooks spoiling the broth', I hope.

And did I mention how relieved I am that Sherlock and Watson aren't having an affair, yet. :-)

Spanish - Class XVII

Finally, it felt as if I am learning something new instead of just doing exercises after exercises. Honestly, I had to scramble to complete the homework last night because I didn't get time to do that over the past week. Unfortunately, only a part of that was covered during today's class.

So, back to the class. So today we learnt about the first irregular verb - Tener i.e. to have/to possess (nope, not the demonic kind, this is not supernatural for Heaven's sake!) and the uses of the same. I sure hope that these irregular verbs do have some method to the madness. If not, I am done for because I am already struggling with the ambiguities of SER and ESTAR. The next one was El Verbo Haber, which, thankfully, has just one conjugation - Hay. A couple of exerices later we read an email and could make sense of most of it :-)

No exam today and I suspect that we won't have one till the last session. I guess it is just the teacher's way of making sure that we do study every week. I ain't complaining. :-)
