Plot A: While everyone is complaining about the record cold snap, Charles receives a polar suit from his parents. After magnanimously giving Margaret his fur-lined gloves, he immediately wants them back.
Plot B: A patient with extreme hypothermia requires drastic measures to get warm again.
Why on Earth would they have had a coffin in the first place? Morgue detail just takes them out bundled up on a stretcher.
1. Clerical error
2. It's the army way
3. Clerical error
4. In case of an emergency
5. Clerical error
6. In case of an untried medical proceidure (like
dunking a patient in ice) where a coffin is
needed.
7. Clerical error
I think that covers everything.
Probably was clerical error, considering that it was full of snowboots. Someone in supply probably thought it was a carrying case!
Watched this one again last night. Charles shows himself to be a real cad, doesn't he? Not to mention somewhat dim. Why on Earth would he think that he could wear a woman's gloves on his hands in the first place? Why didn't he put them on in Margaret's tent, instead of waiting until he had crossed the freezing compound and gone into his own tent? For that matter, didn't he have any other gloves? I find it hard to believe that, prior to getting the suit and gloves, he had nothing to put on his hands.
You notice that, when he snatched his gloves back, he didn't even bother to leave Margaret her own (now ruined) gloves.
This is also the episode where Klinger is temporarily deafened from the shock of their own mines exploding in the cold.
Wonder what they did with all those ladies' shoes?
>Wonder what they did with all those ladies' shoes?<
Gave 'em to Klinger, no doubt!! LoL!
I just realized that this episode is only four away from "None like it Hot". Weather sure changes fast in Korea.
Of course the question is: why does the army have (or need) so many red woman shoes in the first place? They serve no practical purpose for the nurses. Possible explanation: the clerk who orders the army supply from the suppliers screwed up (miswrote a number, maybe) and when the shipment arrived, it was immediately routed to the 4077, so it couldn't be sent back as wrong shipment.
As Charles is offering Margaret his gloves, Major Houlihan, in the long shots, has a stray tuft of hair falling between the part in her bangs. This tuft is missing in her close-ups.
The title of this ep is spoken by either Hawkeye or B.J. (I'm not sure which one) as they enter the Mess Tent.
When Pierce sits between the two nurses, he sits more or less on the same level as they do. In the next shot, he sits somewhat above them.
Also, the nurse on his left (the right side of the screen) has her coffee mug in front of her. In the next shot, she's drinking from it.
How does B.J. know Hawk's gonna lead everyone into a sing-a-long of "We're Having a Heatwave"? He's a mind reader?
Just out of curiousity, but if it's as cold as they're saying it in camp, would the movie projector in the Mess Tent work? It's probably only slightly warmer inside the tent than outside, but I believe cameras are affected by extreme cold. So, too, I would assume are film projectors.
When B.J. suggests they use the bubble off a chopper to immerse the soldier, Radar has his hands in front of him. In the very next shot, he has one hand on his chin.
"All that good whiskey shot to hell."
