That is intresting that you say that because the young indy series was mostly the same crew. But they also had good writers like frank darabount. And good actors like Sean Patrick Flannery.

Also the show i believe was nomiated for emmy's i think. And the fans generally like the young indy series but hate crystal skull. Me i never really got that into young indy but i liked the trenches of hell episode. And another one of them can't remember the name where he gets the girl and is a spy. Kind of like bond,lol.

Flanery being passed off as Indy is torture of a truly cruel and unusual sort. Flanery is no more Indy than Hayden is Anakin.

A lot of things are nominated for Emmies that should never have seen the light of day.

As for fans preferring that Young Indy drivel to a film that at least has Ford, I will never fathom the preferences of fans -just look at the majority of Star Wars fans, who are so into the prequels. At least the general public prefers the Crystal Skull (they don't give a fuck about Young Indy, but Indy 4 did well at the box office). The Crystal Skull was disappointing but it's a million miles ahead of Young Indy.

I don't really care if Young Indy had much of the same crew -it tried to pass off The Adventures of Flanery in Silly Kids' History Features as The Adventures of the Young Indiana Jones, and the just doesn't work. No amount of same crew can save that. And the single most important individual in making an Indy film into Indy is not any of the crew or even Spielberg or Lucas. It's Ford. Without him you've got no Indy. They should never have even tried a young Indy series.

The fake convoluted connection to historical events would not have been so bad if lucas did not embellish or willfully stray from what actually happened in history. But nobody really cares because the historical stuff was only a framing device.

I care. That historical stuff was as annoying as hell. It was so incredibly contrived and dumb.
