<!-- (First watched YYYY-MM-DD) Thoughts. -->
(First watched 2023-11-mid) First half, pretty fun example of Indy in believable action, using his quick thinking skills to get in and out of trouble on a secret mission. The bit with the train on the Swiss border I found particularly amusing. Also, [[Christopher Lee]] as Count not-Dooku.
 
The second half... reminds us that these are not really movies. Just in that it all of a sudden time skips and he's talking about his good friends in the area that we've never seen before. A character piece I did find very believable, given what we know from the movies: Indy is disappointed to have basically an intelligence analyst desk job rather than field work, but they say his skills in languages and decoding puzzles make him invaluable. I bought it.

X14: '''Espionage Escapades'''
 
(First watched 2023-11-mid-late) The first half is one of the series high points so far, I think. Directed by and guest starring [[Terry Jones]], it's Indy and a few other somewhat bumbling undercover agents trying to sway the war and almost making a big mess of things for reasons outside of their control. Pretty funny.


<!-- (First watched YYYY-MM-DD) Thoughts. -->
The second half... similar concept of spy work + comedy, but I think went too far in the farce, to where I no longer believed it. And having [[Franz Kafka]]'s parting words being "What a trial!" Oy!
