Indiana Jones got psyched!

Indy got psyched - and this time not by our favorite Russian psych-"You are a hard man to read Dr. Jones."-Spalko! The latest episode of the private detective but fake-psychic tv-series "Psych" (season 6 episode 10) was titeled "Indiana Shawn and the Temple of the Kinda Crappy, Rusty Old Dagger".

Now the title is already a blunt giveaway to expect an Indy themed hour of goofy Psych fun - and that's what you get. To get into the mood there is John Rhys-Davis as the curator who wants some stole art pieces back, Shawn and Gus going on treasure hunt, of course traveling by map, Shawn dressing up as a very serious Indy, mad whip action and lots of Indiana Jones movie quotes ("Throw me the whip!").

For Indy fans and Psych fans this is a must-see and a fun episode to watch but I have to admit I was a bit disappointed in the whole package. This could have been executed better and pretty please: If you let some character use movie quotes, you shall never ever have another character talk about the movie source that just got quoted. Spelling it out for those who do not get a reference is killing the whole idea.
