This one has it all in a very balanced way. William Christopher sermon was well acted and loved the hug from Reardon, his enormous hand covering 90% of the Padre's back. Per the 1st post here, I tried to imagine Charles or BJ playing Hawkeye's part and I know either of them would have worked equally well. Hawkeye, being the focal point of the M*A*S*H characters, doesn't always get the attention; Charles' near death experience (shot through his cap; having to suck up his bragging to the concert pianist with the damaged right hand. All of the main cast do get their turns. The one with Sidney Friedman, "Dear Sigmund" comes to mind.

I don't remember Patrick Swayze, though (although I know he was in this episode; he's one of the "before they were famous" guest-stars you always see paraded out for MASH). <br /><br />In general I always like Father Mulcahy stories, even though this one again is a bit too much Hawkeye for my taste. Why couldn't it have been Charles? ;-)<br /><br />Nice dove-tail of the two plots, though.Russellnoreply@blogger.com
