Plot: One by one, the personnel of the 4077th are escaping the war by slipping over to Rosie's. Margaret meets a new man, Sgt. Scully, who has walked away from the front line after a heavy battle.
Was it just me, or was Margaret's reaction to the perve who hustled her just great?! Some of her best moments were smacking the daylights outta men. Like in that one with the scrounger hiring kids to collect dangerous stuff. "He'd take this bum by the neck, and he'd deck him!" SMACK! "It's a good thing Donald isn't here."
Note the sign on the windows in front of Rosie's says "G I Classy". I'd always assumed it said, "Rosie's".
Rosie's English sure has become more fluent than it was in "Mad Dogs and Servicemen".
In shot, while Klinger is paying her for info on Wang Ho's cr4p game, Rosie's hand is under the bar counter. In the next shot, her hand is on a bottle getting ready to put it under the counter.
Even with a beer can under his elbow, hand tied to his head in a salute, it's remarkable that the unconscious Major Frank Dorsett could hold sit upright for so long. I'd've thought he'd've collapsed after awhile.
In one shot, Dorsett's uniform jacket is closed, in the next it's opened. Also his left hand's position changes between shots. So does the position of the label on the beer can under his elbow.
In one shot, Ham (there's that name again), Cho Kim's son (Cho Kim had bought Wang Ho's cr4p game) is playing with the money in his hand. In the next shot, he's taking the visor out of his pocket. (The position of the bills in his hand has also changed.)
As Mulcahy receives his beer, he has one hand on B.J.'s shoulder. In the next shot, the hand is nowhere near Hunnicutt's shoulder.
So Radar did check with HQ about Major Dorsett? How'd he do it without Potter knowing he was there? If Potter spotted the Corporal, you think he'd've been asking Radar where the rest of the camp was.
I love how when Radar is talking to B.J. about Major Dorsett, the Corporal is moving in synch with Hunnicutt and his dance partner.
Interesting that Margaret once said she could never love someone who didn't outrank her, fell so hard for Scully. (I know, I know. Women are like that. I'm just saying.)
When Potter replaces the gag in Winchester's mouth, the straps of the gag changes position with each shot.
How is it that after Radar lets go of Major Dorsett's nose, the Major doesn't fall back down to the table? (Radar sets Dorsett's head down.)
Just before Klinger says, "Boy, what a night!" two combatants crash through a window. There's the sound of breaking glass. Trouble is the window is not made of glass. It's made of thin plastic sheeting. What made the glass breaking sound?
As Hawkeye and B.J wake up on the morning after, Rosie is in the background cleaning up. In one shot she faces the wall. In the next she faces the Captains.
According to B.J., this episode takes place on about August 10. Given that Colonel Potter didn't arrive until September 19, 1952 ("Change of Command"), that means this ep takes place in '53 just before the end of the Korean War.
"All that good whiskey shot to hell."
Was Dorsett really drunk for about five weeks as this ep hints? Wouldn't he have died from alcohol poisoning from being effed up that long? And just how did he arrive at Rosie's of all places? I mean, of all the places to end up in Korea...
"All that good whiskey shot to hell."
It was hard to see syndication cuts in this one. I think that they must have been just little bits here and there. One that stood out was B.J. showing two newcomers the Rosieland flag--someone's khaki boxers. I wonder whose they were? They must have gotten them after the nurse refuse to donate her underwear as a flag.
