Excellent like all the other Sharpe's adventures!

I have to disagree with onysia's comments. I enjoyed this one as much as I did all the rest of the Sharpe's episodes. I do agree with his/her comment about the "Yanks & Combs" Star Trek one though...it was truly awful...lol. So far, I have yet to see one of the Sharpe's adventures that I didn't enjoy thoroughly. The only thing I found unbelievable about Sharpe's Gold is that the renegades didn't strip the girl for the sacrifice scene...I would've...she was hot! lol. I am so glad that we discovered the Sharpe's series on BBC America...it really makes our Saturday evenings more fun. Until we saw Lord of the Rings, we didn't know who Sean Bean was, now we are confirmed fans of his...what a fine actor!
