The Death of Indiana Jones

The writers killed the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull by

1) Trying too hard to set the sidekick up for a future spin-off

2) Telling the audience that knowledge is gold, but then kills the villianess by filling her with knowledge

3) Turning an action show into a cheesy father-son reunion. Indiana had too much to prove to his son that he was a worthy father, and ended up being too sure-footed. The past shows had a cocky Indiana but he was often wrong. The most recent rendition of Indy had turned him into a super-human.

4) Not making the flying saucer play “re-mi-do-SO-so”

5) Action sequences not up to par with the previous ones. There were no huge rolling balls, nor roller coaster chases. Again, unnecessarily too much screen time was given to Shaun Bellouf. This show is more of a warm-up for Henry Jones III than a curtain call for Henry Jones II.
