History Recap / YoungIndianaJonesAndTheCurseOfTheJackal

* HistoricalDomainCharacter: The show starts as it means to go on. The young Indiana Jones encounters UsefulNotes/TELawrence, [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Carter Howard Carter]], [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancho_Villa Pancho Villa]] and [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_S._Patton George Patton]].

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: This, the first episode, is one of just two that was initially released as a full-length TV movie (the other 26 episodes from the first two seasons would later all be edited and combined into TV movies, though). It is also the only time in the show that the adventures of Young Indy (Sean Patrick Flanery) and Younger Indy (Corey Carrier) feature in the same episode.

* Another, more subtle one to ''Last Crusade''; this is not the last time that Indy recovers a MacGuffin after a TimeSkip, and ensures that it ends up where it belongs — in a museum.

* HistoricalDomainCharacter: ''Chronicles'' starts as it means to go on. The young Indiana Jones encounters UsefulNotes/TELawrence, [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Carter Howard Carter]], [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancho_Villa Pancho Villa]] and [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_S._Patton George Patton]].

* CallForward: A couple.

* YoungFutureFamousPeople: Of the RealLife people Indy encounters, T.E. Lawrence and George Patton count as this.

** Same goes for how Indy lost an eye; this has not been explained anywhere in the Indyverse, and it is ambiguous as to whether it was later {{Retconned}} out by the late-1990s re-editing of this series, which saw the Old Indy scenes get dropped.

* EyepatchOfPower: * Old Indy sports one of these over his right eye, complete with a nasty facial scar trailing out from beneath. Because of the large time gap between the present-day (well, 1990s) ''Chronicles'' framing segments and the 1930s period films, this is also an EyepatchAfterTimeSkip; since Indy still has both eyes in ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheDialOfDestiny'', which is set in 1969, this injury must have occurred after that date.

* NoodleIncident: It is not stated how Dimitrius lost a hand at some point between 1908 and 1916.

In 1916, a teenage Indy travels to Mexico but is captured by revolutionaries. He befriends Remy, a Belgian chef who has somehow fallen in with the revolutionaries. Indy gets involved in the war, he recognises Dimitrius, who is now collaborating with the Americans. After learning of the revolutionaries’ hypocrisy, Indy and Remy decide to leave — but not before Indy deals with his unfinished business with Dimitrius.

* {{Bookends}}: Two examples. The most obvious is the Old Indy narrative, but we also get a subtle one involving pets. In the first flashback sequence, we briefly see Indiana, the dog whom Indy nicknamed himself after. Later, Old Indy says he has to go home and feed his cat, Henry — who he’s named after himself.

** At the end of Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade, it was revealed that Indy is (nick)named after the family dog. Here, we get to see that dog.
** When Indy arrives at the Egyptian dig site, he passes a group of diggers whose work song is the same as the one the diggers in Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk sing when they are digging for the Well of the Souls.

In 1908, Indy — travelling around the world with his parents — meets Helen Seymour, who is hired to be his tutor. In Egypt, Indy and Helen visit the Pyramids, where they meet [[UsefulNotes/TELawrence]], who invites Indy to an archaeological dig. There, he meets and befriends Rashid, a local boy who is helping out. The next day, Rashid is found murdered and a valuable jackal headpiece stolen. Dimitrius, the chief blaster of the excavation, is revealed to be behind this, but he flees.
