"White infidels plan to enter the sacred valley the day after tomorrow!"
Som it's the penultimate episode, and we're back in Thailand (Siam in 1941)- but it seems that Thailand is Afghanistan, going by the place names, costumes and culture- although no one seems to be specifically Muslim. No one seems to look ethnically South East Asian, either.
The change of scene makes things fresh, though. We're back to the tomb, Lang;a lens is found, the natives are working for the Scorpion and his cool bird of prey that he uses as a messager pigeon.
We also have an exploding volcano about to engulf the tomb while the gang are mostly inside. It's a busy episode and I can't believe there's just one left. The episode feels, perhaps, a little too reminiscent of the first, but that was a while ago. This movie serial has been excellent, and it's about to end...
