Plot: Coming to the aid of a sick Korean man, B.J. becomes a surrogate father to the whole family, and ends up becoming too emotionally involved.
Plot B involves a general (who looks remarkably like the admiral in "38 Across") coming to the 4077th for a minor foot wound, which escalates to a broken arm, a reaction to a bee sting....
Wonder how far they got from the camp before he finally consented to have the flat tire repaired?
This was probably my first episode of M*A*S*H. (If not, then "Officer of the Day" was).
As B.J. examines Su Sing, the sick Korean man, in order to listen to his lungs, Beej has Su Sing sit up. In one shot, Hunnicutt's head is higher in relation to Su Sing's body than in the next shot.
While Radar is carrying his box of bees, B.J. asks the corporal to try to track down Cho-Duk Sing. The position of the fingers on his hand changes between shots.
I find it amusing that General Prescott, the wounded General, keeps a red one star flag on his wheelchair. None of the other wounded generals in the series were that vain.
I think the scene where Charles feeds General Prescott the soup has been cut for syndication.
Radar's amazing. He can tell with what has to be little more than a glance that his escaped bee is Blitzen. Personally, they all look alike to me.
General Prescott's predicament is very reminscent of the dentist's in "Showtime" back in Season One. B.J.'s reminds me of Hawkeye's in "Love and War".
"All that good whiskey shot to hell."
Su Sing? Here's another name that's not a real Korean name.
Maybe I've been around bratty little kids too long, but it seems to me that those kids, especially the girl, knew just how to push B.J.'s buttons. All they had to do was whine. And whine.
The scene with Charles and the soup is cut for syndication. There really is no reason for him to be feeding the general, whose good hand is undamaged--he's just sucking up. I would have thought that the general would have been angered to be treated like a baby, but I guess he likes obsequiousness.
