	~~<!--~~ (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.

			(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~~. ~~-->~~		(First watched 2023-??-??) This show is blatantly historical edutainment, but especially this part of the series has a strong "war is stupid" message, too. Here we see men die needlessly when they decide to pass up a hospital because it's run by a German. And even once the mission is complete with few of the men surviving... turns out their mission objective no longer mattered, so it was all in vain.

	~~<!--~~ (First watched ~~YYYY~~-MM-DD) ~~Thoughts~~. ~~-->~~		(First watched 2023-11-early) Indy must be captured and escape from Germans more than any other fictional character. Except maybe the guys from Hogan's Heroes, if that counts? Actually, "Indy fighting off Germans in a series of vehicles" is probably one of the movie things that this series manages to occasionally come closest to.

			So Indy and Remy get new jobs with French intelligence, and go their separate ways. The last we see of Remy, I wonder?

			[[Jon Pertwee]] as a German general in this one.

	X06: '''~~Episode name~~'~~'' ''[[YYYY]] [[MMMM D]]~~''		X06: '''Spring Break Adventure'''

	~~<!--~~ (First watched ~~YYYY~~-MM-DD) ~~Thoughts~~. -->		(First watched 2023-07-12, -14) A lot more action and fun than the Youngest Indy time period, but still awkwardly slapped together halves and as a setup for continuing adventures maybe rougher than the "touring the world" setup Youngest Indy had.

			First half, Indy has an adventure with his also-adventurous girlfriend, helping out Edison with the theft of plans for an electric car. Young [[Clark Gregg]] helps out a little, even. Then... he goes on vacation, and tries to go to a bordello. Time for love, Dr. Jones?

			He instead gets caught up with Mexican revolutionaries and briefly joins them before deciding that's not his war, but he's pretty sure there IS a war for him out there, and he'll head to Europe to find it. Kids running away from home is common, but it's not as often you hear about kids running away from vacation. The last Indy's cousin saw of him was chasing after the revolutionaries, so what DOES his family think? Presumed dead? At one point we see Indy trying to write a letter to his father explaining that he's joined the revolutionaries, but it never gets finished. Maybe he'll get around to that sometime so his family at least knows he's alive?

			I also wasn't quite expecting "high school dropout" from a future professor. I'm curious how his education plays out from this point.

	X04: '''Journey of Radiance'''		X04: '''Travels With Father'''

			(First watched 2023-07-10) Both halves fairly interesting, though the naming doesn't really fit both. I mean, the first half has Indy running away from his family. It's about as far from traveling with his father as he gets in these years of traveling with his father. BUT the road teamup of Indy + Tolstoy worked unexpectedly well.

			For a change there's actually some death-defying going on in the second half, with the rope elevator malfunction. Seemed to bring Henry and Henry closer together, though that seems to have only lasted about two minutes since they're back to bickering immediately as the timeline continues.

	(First watched 2023-07-11) The first half was more straightforward informative than most, without being too boring about it. Indy learning about comparative religion from a rising star, while his teacher deals with the fact that rising star's benefactors are full of shit.
