: 3) "You betrayed Shiva" part... harder, but still!: the stones
: exert flames, but when Indy gets one, nothing happens. Could be Mola
: Ram is so hypnotized/trippin' on "Kali's " etc. that the reminder
: of his betrayal induces the vision of the stones' burning his hand.
: 4) And the only one kinda impossible to explain: the scene in the
: underground Temple; the stones shining from inside... let those who
: know more attempt this one, just like the optical sensor darts in
: Raiders.

HA!! I wrote a whole post trying to explain the same things... but I quickly scrapped it when I thought of the voodoo doll... No other choice but to except the magic. :)
