I'm watching last week's Numb3rs (4x05, Robin Hood) and I'm only part-through but the Amita(/Charlie) plotline would have helped massively if I'd watched the episode last week. SIGH. Except now it will help with the other Amita fic I'm writing (the first attempt for numb3rswom3n. I feel a little weird writing it because we've gotten a couple of mixed messages from Amita's storyline: season 1 she had that 'arranged husband' back in India, but season 2 she had distanced herself from the culture. These two things aren't incompatible but there is a small area in which they don't quite fit together. Unless— okay, unless she doesn't speak to her family a lot? But she lives close enough to her family that she can visit her traditional grandmother. My question re: her parents is: were they visiting India or were they coming to visit Amita? (Amita's family's characterisation is like that of a girl whose family is from Northern India, but season 2 implied that her family speaks Tamil which seems a little incompatible? Maybe? Although - actually, it depends on her family's class/caste status, and she said that her family comes from a village, so no, that does make more sense.)

Anyway, back to the episode.
