X13: '''Episode name''' ''[[YYYY]] [[MMMM D]]'' | X13: '''Adventures in the Secret Service''' ''[[YYYY]] [[MMMM D]]'' | ||
(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. | |||
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! | |||

X15: '''Daredevils of the Desert''' | |||
(First watched 2023-11-late) This one interests me more from a behind-the-scenes point of view. The director of a movie about a historical event returns to do a Young Indy episode about the same historical event. Then for this "movie" version of the episode, footage from his earlier movie is spliced in. But I must say it was done well. I was expecting it to feel like an episode padded out with lots of unrelated footage, but that wasn't really the case. They must've had a lot of footage left to work with that didn't make it into the original episode-length cut. | |||
Also guest-starring pre-big-fame [[Catherine Zeta-Jones]], [[Daniel Draig]], and post-[[Doctor Who]] [[Colin Baker]]. | |||
