Tegan and Silvana watch Season 3, Episode 21, "Crystal Skull". This episode is Daniel-heavy and features Daniel's grandfather, Nick. Nick is not a fan of Daniel's theory about the pyramids, and Daniel doesn't really believe that Nick saw giants after looking into the eyes of a crystal skull he found on earth.
Silvana is concerned the CGI in this episode is bad enough that children will judge us if we show it to them now. Like we did our fathers for old Doctor Who and aliens dressed in bubble wrap.
It appears archaeology runs deep in Daniel's family. Is archaeology only possible if you have a family legacy of it? It's Indiana Jones, Nathan Drake, and Lara Croft too! What's that about?
How is Daniel so bad at presenting with slide decks?
Silvana and Tegan discuss the issue of the "magical black person" who is typically a person who helps a white main character achieve their goals. These characters are often not human themselves too.
The ladies wonder what has happened to Nyan, and also worry about Grandpa Nick staying with gas giants. Will they know what to feed him?
It's not Unsolved Mysteries, but here is an Ancient Aliens episode about the crystal skulls.
