Thoughts on Sparky?

So, what does everyone think about Indy's new 'prairie friend' Sparky? Friend or foe?

I will die laughing if it does that in the movie. Imagine Indy's reaction.

Somebody should make the Sparky Cut when it comes out on DVD.

Someone needs to photoshop a mushroom cloud and a fridge behind him.

According to Keopp, Sparky is a poignant symbol of a pure, pre-atomic America. Tears grease his whiskers upon seeing the Doomtown obliteration. It could be a profound moment...

Sparky is the whimsical talking creature that greets Dr. Jones in the aftermath of his first adventure...he invites him into his secret underground world where he meets Boss Doggie, the leader of the Prairie Dog Alliance (who curiously doesn't look anything like the race he governs). It turns out that Sparky is pretty much an outcast of this community, but he's able to help Dr. Jones dig a tunnel to South America, and eventually convinces Boss Doggie and the others to go up against the Russians in a massive Jungle Battle.

Early reports suggest that the movie starts going downhill as soon as Indy meets Sparky...

It turns out Sparky's actually the leader of the Russian squad & this is a clip from when Indy steals the skull.

What do you reckon, guys? A spin-off with Sparky and Reggie? In the style of "Miley and Otis"?

Sparky will rule. We will need a Sparky avatar. That might just be my new avatar. (But not for a while!)

What if he never turns around, dramatically or otherwise?

I'm hoping that card's title is also some Sparky dialogue.
