the reveal that mariner was friends with sito is fucking me up on so many levels. because we already knew she didn't usually befriend other people because of that time her one other ensign friend was eaten by an alien in s1 but then you learn the sito thing and there's so many implications.
like she probably also knew wesley and then he left to join the travelers so she never got to see him again either after sito died. she dealt with dominion war and we don't know what happened but it's clear she was affected by it. "there was no honor, just massacres...I don't want to be a general. I don't want to send my friends off to die." (which uh, oh boy sure has implications for what she had to do during the war then...)
and then sito herself who mariner clearly looked up to and thought would do good things and she could be like. only to learn she died and never go to do all those things mariner thought she could.
mariner's spent so much time losing people and growing in ranks just means you'll have more people under you who you'll potential order to die even by mistake and it's just! fucking me up! no wonder she only wants to be an ensign, it's where she can still do the most good in her eyes and lose as little as possible.

Baby Beej vs Mustache Beej vs Scruffy Beej?
I feel like I've asked you that already but-
This is one of the most evil things someone could ask me.
I love Baby Beej. I love Mustache Beej. I love Scruffy Beej. I love Beefj. I love all variations of Beej, and that should not come as a surprise.
But if we’re taking which Beej makes me want to spread ‘em at this very moment it’s Mustache Beej.

i rlly love needy characters that have never felt an ounce of affection so when they feel that little spark of it - whether its someone being nice to them like ONE time or whether they randomly fall in love or they IDOLIZE someone too deeply - they just do NOT know how to act and proceed to explode things, throw tantrums, have mental breakdowns, and/or come up with reasons why they should hang around that make everything worse

Even in as early an episode as “The Bus” for him, it’s really obvious how little tolerance Potter has for Frank. Whereas B.J. keeps making these attempts at peace-keeping or finding middle ground, Potter is shooting them down almost as often as Hawkeye is, and he’s the one who’s known Frank for the least amount of time.
I think the combination of Margaret wising up regarding the affair, the disappearance of the generals she was so fond of calling in order to go over Henry’s head to get what she and Frank wanted, and Potter’s absolute no-nonsense attitude in contrast to Henry’s trying-to-please-everybody approach all inevitably led to Frank having nowhere left to grow, as Linville basically put it. He’s still a great character, still incredibly funny, but he’s lost whatever little bite he may have had now that Potter just has to snap at him to get him to stop. Which is emblematic of the shift from the early seasons’ argument of “the army is an incompetent but evil machine that can be dangerously effective at achieving both ends” to the later seasons’ workplace sitcom where the army-aligned characters can be either good or bad, and the “good” ones like Potter will always win out against Frank.
It’s hard to picture an AU where they get along better, because it would take reframing the show and the Potter character in general (or rather, continuing the framing of the army and anyone Regular Army like Potter as a villain), so I find myself wondering instead what might have happened had Frank had a longer turn at command of the 4077th before Potter took over. If that might have made him more combative over being replaced, if he might have found and cultivated an ally or two among the ranks of the enlisted men… I don’t know that it would have prevented Linville from still leaving when he did, but it might have given him something a little different to play while he was still there.
