Watched The Blue Lotus (Part 1). It's my favorite TinTin, so I'm terribly biased (and though, as a matter of fact, all of the episodes are somehow interconnected). Begins in India with the Maharajah of Gaipajama, then proceeds to Shanghai. Love the Chinese music and atmospherics.

Raijajah juice (the madness poison) is mentioned for the first time.

Viewing Part 2 tomorrow.
