Did it occur to anyone else that the year Indy ceased communication with the Shaws was the same year that Henry died, followed shortly by Marcus a year later?
Adds some interesting context, retroactively, to his journey out of loneliness in Kingdom. So does the photo of Marion that he kept with him in his bag that we see on the train in 1944. When Indy is mourning over his losses with Charlie, I can imagine he was feeling regret over fleeing from Marion (seems to have affected him for years) and estranging himself from Bas and Helena just as much as he was mourning the loss of Henry and Marcus and feeling the sting of betrayal from Mac. Seems like Charlie was Indy's only friend at the time, and Indy couldn't even stick around to enjoy that.
I don't know how intentional this was on the part of the writers, but I would certainly like to give them credit for their attention to detail in Indy's timeline and character growth.
