Close to the end of the episode when B.J. tells Eddie and Dave about grabbing a bite to eat in the mess tent before being shipped back to their unit, Dave is now Eddie's new best pal. I would've loved to have seen a scene where Hawkeye and B.J. sit at the same table with Eddie and Dave eating with them and getting better acquainted with them because it's best pals associating with best pals.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324636505275186101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242198036084484844.post-32902617185321033452013-05-29T20:31:24.215-04:002013-05-29T20:31:24.215-04:00I'm autistic.

Though Rob, don't be worried. It just makes it harder for Eddie to learn.Dominicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242198036084484844.post-2512800783705841852009-10-10T04:03:54.040-04:002009-10-10T04:03:54.040-04:00The more I consider season 8, the stronger a seaso...The more I consider season 8, the stronger a season it seems. Much of the humor at times doesn't seem as forced as it does occasionally in the last few years (by which time MASH was well and truly a dramedy first) and the plots were well-conceived and executed. <br /><br />The beauty of this episode is Klinger's playing for once the straight man. He is still funny, of course, but his reactions to the various obsessions the other characters involve him in are great. His posing aboard Sophie for Potter's self-portrait is a particular gem. <br /><br />The subplot regarding the bird joke is interesting (wonder if it was inspired by some on-set frivolity?)- both Hawk and BJ seem to tell this shaggy dog story equally well, I think!What the Parrot Sawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08039363570921658045noreply@blogger.com
