Another 'homage'
Well, let's see. We've had 2 Hitchcock episodes (Strangers on a Train, Rear Window) a terrible Treehouse of Horror, a less-than-funny riff on Batman and now here's Indiana Jones. I love this show, but it may be running out of gas story-wise. What's next, I wonder? Jurassic Park? Terminator? Star Trek? Here's hoping the show returns to originality, though looking ahead I see there's a musical episode coming up, so I guess we check Star Trek off the 'homage' list.
And, to satisfy the minimum word count, here's a repeat for your enjoyment.

Murdoch and Watts are so gullible
I wanted to jump into the TV and knock some sense into Murdoch and Watts. They are experienced police detectives and yet they keep getting swindled time and time again by treasure hunters. How gullible could they get? Most of the regular characters, such as Julia, George, Henry, are not present. Only Violet is here, and even she is somewhat gullible, getting knocked unconscious by someone and not seeing who did it. Some of the episode seems like a pale ripoff of the Indiana Jones movies, and maybe some of the gullibilty comes those movies, but the gullibilty factor doesn't work here with characters who are supposed to be much more shrewd and savvy.
