I thought that was Hawkeye's cousin who shoved him in the water, and that episode was dumb, I agree with you there.

I just figure the entire series takes place inside a time warp. :P

There are lots of moments like that in MASH where the characters overreact to different trivial things, and it works for the story (IMO, anyway!) because they have to force themselves not to react to seeing horrible things all the time there.

All of Alan Alda’s crying in MASH was just weird. I’m usually ok with the maudlin stuff, but if Hawkeye starts crying, I’m out.

You have to remember that shows that aired back then didn't have reruns or any way for people to rewatch the episodes unless they taped them on VHS. There wasn't strict continuity because there didn't need to be. People missed episodes and then didn't have a way to see them.

[greghousesgf]

they did show reruns a lot back then.

Yeah, it was weird, they had female doctors in WWI, WWII and Vietnam (and from then on), but the only women allowed to serve in Korea were nurses.

Okay.

I like both Trapper and BJ, but I though BJ as a character was a better contrast to Hawkeye, though sometimes he was relegated to just the sidekick (that was true for Trapper on occasion too). I thought there were some amazing episodes in later seasons (The Interview, Bug Out, Comrades in Arms, Point of View, The Party, Heal Thyself, Letters, No Sweat, Trick or Treatment, As Time Goes By, to name a few). And since the show was set during the Korean War, but really an allegory for the Vietnam War, plus with the way time passes while experiencing heightened stress and trauma (seeming to stretch endlessly and loop around on itself), the length and mutable time flow fits for me.

I will agree that the revelation and Hawkeye's reaction for that episode was not well done.

I, too, liked Trapper better than BJ, but I find this secret to be heavy on the hyperbole.

Still a show I will always watch, no matter what, if it happens to be on.
