Plot A: Exhausted from his workload, Charles turns to amphetamines.
Plot B: Wanting to show off to the Marines, Radar challenges the Marines' mouse Sluggo to a race against his Daisy. Charles decides to pep Daisy up.

Funny that they picked that title considering the second season episode, "Dr. Pierce and Mr. Hyde." Did TPTB forget they'd already used that one?

Using a similar title again, is part of the joke. Look at the Simpsons there are tons of titles that a jokes on titles of eariler episodes.

Wonder how often inventory is done at the 4077th? More importantly, when that bottle Charles took turns up missing, how will it be explained? Black market theft? Theft by one of the patients? From someone in the camp? The latter is more likely since only the one bottle was taken. A search of the camp would undoubtedly reveal that Charles had the bottle. Of course, he might have "doctored" the paperwork.

They had cut part of the conversation Radar had with the Marines. Radar had mentioned that he had tried joining the Marines, but had been turned down because of his poor vision. The Marines were raucously amused at the idea of Radar being a Marine. It was this ridicule that made Radar want to show them up with Daisy.

The morning after Charles first took the amphetamines, he breezed into the Mess tent quoting poetry (his own). He skipped eating and only had coffee. Potter mentions that his younger sister is turning 50 and he'd better write her a letter--four months in advance. He begins it, "Dear belated birthday...." Charles relates a tale of his sister, who firstly, ran off to marry a farmer, and secondly, abandoned the farmer to live with a shoe salesman. This is bizarre for a couple of reasons. Either Charles has several sisters besides Honoria, or Honoria has married twice (the farmer and the formal marriage mentioned in "Major Topper"), and is now living at home, presently to get engaged to an Italian. Plus, it seems rather unbelievable for Charles to openly confide such scandalous behavior in his own immediate family. Blame the Bennies, I guess.

Notice when Charles, full of nervous energy, begins folding B.J's laundry--said laundry seems to consists solely of towels. The man bathes frequently but doesn't change his clothes?

NANJAO: Pronounciation seems to have changed, and it rather confuses me. Everyone seems to be using the British pronounciation "am-FET-uh-mins" rather than the American "Am-Fet-uh-meens" Did the general accepted pronounciation change in America since the episode was filmed?

This second bit is rather strange, but it seems to suggest that Hawkeye might suspect something earlier, well before he finds the bottle. He says something along the lines of "I've been through the sleepless nights, irregularity. . .(something else I can't quite remember). THe statement is odd. He seems to be describing the side effects of aphetamines, rather than the symptoms of sleep deprevation. Maybe I misheard it.

I think that Hawkeye was referring to the period of adjusting to the hectic pace of life at a MASH unit. Charles, of course, was pretending that it didn't affect him at all.

When Klinger first steps into the lab, Charles' face is away from the microscope. In the next shot, as Max approaches the Major, Charles' eye is looking into the 'scope.

Charles tells Klinger "there is something" to keep the Corporal awake. Winchester's face has a slight smile on it. In the next shot, the smile is gone from his face and his is lowered some.

After Charles says, "Worse, dependence on the drug itself", the bottle mysteriously switches from being in his right hand to being in his left.

I'm not sure, but the book the Marine in Post-Op is holding seems too thick to be The Catcher In the Rye. My copy of the book, a paperback like the Marine's, is only 214 pages long. For the Marine's copy to be that thick, it'd have to be a large print version. But then, the book would probably be even bigger. (Surely an actual of Salinger's novel could easily have been picked up by the prop department.)

In Post-Op, talking to the Marines, and just before asking if the "jockey get(s) any credit", Hawkeye raises his right hand. In the next shot, the hand is on top of the clipboard.

Considering that Colonel Potter's younger sister, Madge's birthday is February 14, and that it's four months away, that means this ep takes place in about October or November of 1952. So, all of seasons four and five took place in a one or two month period?

This ep contains the first mention of Charles' sister Honoria. At least by name.

I see the Army is still using red scrip. (Look at the money in Hawkeye's hands in the Mess Tent.)

This ep appears to take before "Temporary Duty". The sign post by the Swamp does not have the Boston sign on it yet.

I'm not sure the amphetemines were solely responsible for Charles' high blood pressure. Look at how much salt he's pouring on his food in the final Mess Tent scene. Even the Salt Vampire in the STAR TREK ep, "The Man Trap" wouldn't eat that much salt.

"Gentlemen, please. Mozart."

It really is amazing how the continuity of time on M*A*S*H is so haphazard.
