Thought I may aswell bring these threads back...
Two of the best episodes in the series, and one of the best 'two parters' in the shows history.
Great cameos from historical figures, the interplay between Hemmingway, Ness and Indy is quite amusing and fantastic.
The music is wonderful (I was actually learning to play saxophone when I first saw the episode, so it was quite a treat!), the filmic references (De Palmas 'The Untouchables' being an obvious one) are great...
Many of the issues it raises, Racism for example, are rather deftly handled - didacticism and heavy handedness are kept to a minimum.
Great to see Harrison, though the final bookend is alittle bit too clunky (the 'avalanche'? * cringe *).
Your thoughts on this episode, please!
...Is this the only episode that has remained untouched by George since it first aired?
