I agree 100%,IndyBr.I like the show even though there are few things and episodes I don't like.But,for the most part,I love the show.
I remember someone saying that the show really didn't get into the whole father/son relationship going bad,but I think the show did get into that very explicitly.
1.In the British East Africa,September 1909 episode,Teddy Roosevelt said to Henry Sr. something like he had a good son and Henry looked at his son not even smiling at him.How cold.It would be normal for a parent to be smiling like crazy if someone,especially someone they hadn't spent much time with,would be bragging up their child.
2.In Daredevils of the Desert
alestine,October 1917,T.E. Lawrence said to Indy that he should keep in touch with his father,but Indy didn't want to hear it.
3.In Treasure of the Peacock's Eye,Indy was reading a letter Helen Seymour wrote to him before she died and she also urged him to keep in touch with his father,but yet again he didn't want to hear it.You would think he would listen to her of all people,she was his tutor after all.It was practically her dying wish.The scene he was reading her letter made me want to cry,because it meant a lot because they became such good friends and then she was gone.
4.In Winds of Change
rinceton,1919,Indy went home to find his previous high school sweetheart,Nancy Stratemeyer,married to the high school bully,and had a baby.Anyway,the episode mainly had to do with Henry Sr. and Indy arguing most of the time and ended with Henry Sr. and Indy having one last argument.Now,every time I watch Last Crusade,where Henry Sr. says,"You left just when you were becoming interesting",I think of that scene when they had there last argument.
So,my closing argument is YES they DID get into a lot of father/son relationship problems in the show.
That's one of the many things I did like about the show,is that it did have the background story as to why they,and how they,didn't get along and how they connected the show to the movies.
I also remember reading that someone didn't like the fact that Lloyd Owen didn't have an accent,when in fact he did.It might not have been very strong,but it was there none the less.From what I read about him,he is a British actor of Welsh descent,which means he does have an accent.
