Plot: A grateful patient attaches himself to Hawkeye, another patient clings to a cat, Radar gets "slaked" and Klinger gets married over the radio.
If Klinger gets married in this ep, how could he get married in the "Goodbye,Farewell, and Amen"?
He got divorced in another episode.
I wonder what ever happened to the cat?
And did Hawkeye become pen pals with his patient?
I also wonder if LaVerne had planned all along to marry him just for his money?
>I wonder what ever happened to the cat?
Mmmmmm...lunch!
Section8, are you sure that your name's not ALF?
Lol!! My guess about the cat would be they relesed it and it wandered off into the vilage...
In the ep "The M*A*S*H Olympics", Private Dobbins was in danger of being thrown out of the Army for being too fat. In this ep, Alex Karras plays Lyle Wesson, who is easily much bigger than Dobbins was. Of course, Lyle was in the Marines, but still, wouldn't he also be too fat and in danger of receiving a military discharge?
Considering Klinger was later revealed to be somewhat illerate, and a tough street kid, isn't it strange to see him reading poetry? In later episodes this trait was never again revealed.
Benn,
Klinger said that he won the book at poker last night; and the poems seem to be very .. ehm .. erotic - that's why radar is so astonished that poetry could be so horny.
Constanze, I forgot that Klinger had won the Rupert Brooks book in a poker game.
I got to see the final scene, deleted these many years. The beautiful spring day has melted into a steady downpour. Radar arrives at the door of the Swamp and comes in. Hawkeye and Trapper comment that Radar's voice is deeper and that his skin is clearing up. Radar smiles self-conciously, and says that he has "a friend." "A woman friend?" "Who says that it's a woman?" "So it's a man?" "It's not a man!" "Radar, there's only two. It has to be one or the other...."
Is this or is this not a clear hint that Radar has lost his virginity?
By the way, Radar's nurse has rather weird taste. That particular poem of Brooke's is not one that would turn me on fire with lust. Nauseated, perhaps, but not lustful.
I know that in the previous season, Mr. Kwang, acted as a bartender at the Officers' Club and in the episodes prior to this one, we see him assisting at the tables in OR. But I didn't know Mr. Kwang was a surgeon. Look carefully at the beginning of this ep as the camera pans across OR, there's someone looking an awful lot like Mr. Kwang doing some surgery.
As he prepares to approach the patient with the cat, Hawkeye comments that his mother had troubles letting him go at the Induction Center. Isn't Pierce's Mom dead?
The Nurse Baker seen in this ep, is completely different from the one seen in "The General Flipped At Dawn". This one is black. (And yes, I realize that the whole Nurse Able, Baker thing is kind of a generic thing based on radio codes. But I'm still gonna comment on it.)
I believe the scene where Henry finalizes the connect to the ham radio operator in the State is cut. After explaining how the connection will work, Klinger comments that it would have been easier to let him go back to Toledo.
Radar mentions to Nurse Simmons that the movie that night will be First Born of Godzilla. That's impossible. Not just because there is no such movie, but because the first Godzilla was not released (in Japan) until 1956. (It was released in the U.S. in 1957.)
Simmons' tent is a simple redress of Margaret's tent.
It's been too years since I've seen the original ending to this ep. I've completely forgotten it. It was nice to see it again.
Once again, Jeff Maxwell's role in the ep does not have a proper name. In the credits, Jeff is listed as "Server". The character's name, of course, is Igor.
Abyssinia!
