Oops! Thanks for the correction! June it is.

I'm afraid we're almost out of June...InexorableTash said:Oops! Thanks for the correction! June it is.

Hilarious post, Tash. I've always been confused by Giulietta's motives, too! With regards to Indy's attraction, it seems to be purely physical but there's enough meat in this topic to carry it on over here:InexorableTash said:I'm torn by the character of Giulietta.
"Northern Italy" is actually one the handful of episodes that cross over into the next month. In this case, it's to match up with real-world events. The 100th anniversary of Ernie gettin' blowed up real good is 8th of July 1918 so we haven't reached the end of this Italian episode yet.InexorableTash said:Anyway, Ernie and Indy have a fight then get blowed up real good at the end, convalescing in the hospital. Poor Indy has to take the train with the lovely but silent Sofia to (Aaah...) Venice where she takes off his... bandages. Indy then slips in time to September 1917 somehow.
Correct. (One of my favourites.)InexorableTash said:Next up, Istanbul September 1918 a.k.a. Masks of Evil Part 1 (right?)
There've been conflicting references to that happening in June 1919 versus August 1919...Later that night, 1919
For some reason, I have August 2019 tagged as a T+100 date. Did someone decide that Princeton, 1919 (a.k.a. The Winds of Change, Part 2) was in August? Gotta happen some time, I guess.
Hey Stoo I'm looking for that other short story that appeared in The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles Magazine. Indy in China: The Runaway Adventure. If it's here somewhere I can't seem to find it using the search.Tash, that comic was made available here at The Raven 8 years ago (courtesy of Rob Dangerous) and the links still work!

Couple more thoughts:
February 1916: The more I learn about Edison, the more I find out what a jerk he was. The latest ugliness being his way of eliminating motion picture competition. He would hire thugs to go around the New Jersey/New York area and smash any movie camera equipment that belonged to someone else. What an A-hole!
March 1916: Before "Curse of the Jackal" aired, I had only a mild interest in the Mexican Revolution era but the show really turned me on to it. Soon after, I began to record any TV programme about 'Pancho' Villa and chronologically compiled all of the actual, real film footage onto 1 tape. It's amazing how much there is.
Anecdotes include how Villa would get his men to re-ride a battle for the camera while dead bodies still laid on the ground. Another is the cameraman being told to film an execution but, long before the guns were even fired, his film ran out. He kept turning the crank for fear of being shot, himself!
The documentary on the Young Indy DVD testifies to the abundance of existing material so that brief appearance of the cameramen filming the train in the actual episode is a nice, little touch.
Anyway, all of that footage is now +100 years old.
