How Disney/Lucasfilm could bring Indiana Jones back

Why did they even want to save him? The only times they'd interacted with him he was capturing or try to kill Han.
He was amnesiac at the time, and he helped Han and Leia, so they felt obliged to save him. But once his memory came back and tried to kill Han, all bets were off.
 
I'm pretty happy to hear the game is getting very positive reviews. I look forward to the PS5 release next year. Hopefully the delay results in the DLC being included as part of the game on disc. :)
 
From what I recall wasn't MASH a little more light hearted in the early seasons, but still touched on series issues to becoming more serious in the later seasons? Especially when Alan Alda got more control over the show. I also recall the use of a laugh track that I think most fans agree was a bad idea and the show is better when the laugh track wasn't used. Also I think the way it was is most of humor would come from them hanging out, but in the surgery area, where even when the characters would sometimes make puns they always made sure that stuff was taken serious. Even with the laugh track they never used the laugh track during the surgery scenes.

MASH is an interesting study in the combination of comedy and drama, especially over various adaptations. The film was far more serious, and the source material as serious, with some hijinks thrown in because that is what soldiers and such do in a war zone.

The show itself started out primarily as a sitcom, because that's what the studio wanted. There was an argument over the laugh track, as the producers didn't want that in the show. The concession was that the track wouldn't be used in the operating room.

But, as one commentator I read noted, the first part of the series was far more hijinks, and prop comedy, as it was drama. But, "Yankee Doodle Doctor" allowed for the now known mix of both for the show, with the hijinks all happening and the Hawkeye giving a great speech on the difficulties of war.

There is a definite great mix between the different plots of the shows to make a good balance of comedy and drama. And then there are great episodes that are just pure comedy, like "The Abduction of Major Houlihan" that still makes me laugh to this day.
