I wondered where Colonel Potter was-this would have been a good episode for him to appear in as a man who could relate better to General Collins than Hawkeye could, and maybe talk to him as a fellow Regular Army man with his years of experience. Overall, a strong A-story where Hawkeye got to see the war from the view of the type of high-ranking officer he normally didn't like.WestVirginiaRebelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14129174334939968181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242198036084484844.post-21176275684184999222010-01-06T04:43:05.223-05:002010-01-06T04:43:05.223-05:00The A-plot here is the last example of one of the ...The A-plot here is the last example of one of the longest running plot staples in the series: Hawkeye confronts/mocks/cajoles/learns from (etc) a regular army officer. <br /><br />This is a mature revisiting of this theme. Hawkeye is inevitably outraged at the senior officer's seeming lack of feeling over his son's depth, but Hawk's disgusted--but wearily sad--resigned melancholy when he leaves Collins' trailer speaks volumes. <br /><br />Hawkeye knows that Collins will not be dissuaded from what Collins sees as his duty. And Collins has lost his son- Hawkeye knows that he can play no stratagem (like an appendectomy) to stop the next plan from beginning. <br /><br />I'd argue that this plot could not have been played as convincingly as it is here up until the last years of the series- and Anderson's performance remains strong.

(he's also in the sequel but it's not where near as good as the first one) According to IMDB, Mr Karen is still around. So maybe you could meet up with him again. If you are interested in a seeing him recently, he's all over the special features in the most recent version of ROTLD.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11436072451281843290noreply@blogger.com
