Aragorn,

I totally agree that the torch should be passed to Sean Patrick Flanery!! A great idea would be to go back to 1925 with the next movie and tell the story of the first meeting between Indy and Marion! This is the story I thought they should have had for the Harrison Ford appearance on "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" instead of "The Mystery of the Blues" episode!!

See ya,
