See, I was thinking, "Okay, if they really are thinking of continuing this franchise with Shia LeBeouf as the main character, why did they pick a stupid name like Mutt?"
And then I immediately said to myself, as you do, "Because they named the dog Indiana."
Except that in that first scene with Mutt & Indy in the soda fountain, Indy asks what kind name that is, and Mutt say, "It's the one I picked, okay?" So I kind of thought they were going for a "Like father, like son" sort of thing. *shrug*

Oh, I R dumb.
Mutt.
I hadn't made the connection either, how stupid is that?
Of course, it also indicates that Marion knew rather more about Indy's childhood than I would have assumed. *g*

Yeah.
...I got 'nothing. Except I think I respect the writers of the whole series a bit more, now.

Also, from the responses I'm getting, apparently this was not obvious to anyone else, either. I feel less dumb now!
