Right up there with "The Smell of Music" and "38 Across."<br /><br />(I don't mean to sound condescending, but I'm not sure how obvious the joke of "38 Across" is? A referenece to a crossword puzzle and to the 38th Parallel? Very, very clever.)Robert Grossnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242198036084484844.post-70578766164951047092012-02-17T00:25:25.367-05:002012-02-17T00:25:25.367-05:00I admired Mulcahy's gall here, even after 2 st...I admired Mulcahy's gall here, even after 2 strikes, adimately stands in defense of Gillis. Awesome moment and really brought a good point. I think we forget the trouble Mulcahy had with performing as a Priest during a war to the point that the mess tent was the church...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242198036084484844.post-85045315535320985402011-03-26T00:21:57.718-04:002011-03-26T00:21:57.718-04:00Those poor eggs!Those poor eggs!Albert Giesbrechthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17742338183833125104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242198036084484844.post-7805828659167840702009-12-20T10:34:08.408-05:002009-12-20T10:34:08.408-05:00I just re-watched this episode, and I agree with P...I just re-watched this episode, and I agree with Parrot...William Christopher really handles the drama when he stands Gillis down. I also really like how Col Potter yells at Gillis' CO re: Father Mulcahy.

The serious plots are by now reliably good (if a little heavy at times) but the performances here are terrific and Cyril O'Reilly's Gillis is genuinely gutsy. His falling into Mulcahy's arms after brandishing his weapon brings a lump to my throat. <br /><br />William Christopher is just a tad pious at times- until Gillis pulls a gun in the mess tent. His shock and anger is one of his best moments. Christopher had already come into his own by now, but this scene ranks among his very best. <br /><br />The subplot with the fresh eggs is a promising idea, and nicely done, but it in the end it pales against the drama in the main plot.What the Parrot Sawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08039363570921658045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242198036084484844.post-69037950748022921522009-12-07T20:48:50.074-05:002009-12-07T20:48:50.074-05:00I only barely remember most of these recent episod...I only barely remember most of these recent episodes, but this one I remember distinctly for its drama and its star turn for WC. This is a GREAT episode.Russellnoreply@blogger.com
