O.R. (s3 e5): The wounded pour into the camp as artillery booms nearby and war planes scream overhead.

The Late Captain Pierce (s4 e5): Due to a clerical error, Hawkeye has been declared dead. He goes crazy wondering how his dad is taking the news, but the phone lines are tied up due to Eisenhower's impending visit.
George (s2 e22): A decorated GI confides to Hawkeye that he was beaten by his own unit for being gay, but Frank is outraged when he finds out from another source and tries to have the soldier dishonorably discharged.

Regina spektor anon- yes! I feel like henrys death is so jarring, so immaculately written, so central to the mythos of mash that people maybe neglect to recognize how formative trapper's departure from mash is to the subsequent tone and themes. His irish goodbye is something that haunts the series going forward- i think its sort of a model for subsequent farewells cus like so much of goodbye radar is focused on the abruptness and the unfair lack of time to make peace with it, just like trappers just written that way on purpose from the start rather than a way to get around an unexpected loss of a castmember. When gary burghoff was ready to move on from radar, the writers were ready to reeeally make that fit cus trapper's departure primed them on how to do it. Also the way trapper's departure was written retroactively fixes the early seasons inclusion of characters who disappear unceremoniously and without comment (spearchucker and guitar man come to mind). Now that isa meaningful contributor to theme and to the vibe of ephemerality mash ultimately achieves. Its no longer clumsy writing born from the early days a show still trying to figure itself out. Now its themes!!!! Like, of course some characters are there one moment and gone without a trace a few episodes later like they were never there. Its a war! They're a mobile army surgical hospital, there are no guarantees and there is no agency- people dont choose when or how they go they go where theyre assigned to go. I loved trapper but my favorite part about him is that the manner of his exit transforms MASH into what it is- i genuinely think its as formative to the later seasons as henrys death was.
yes exactly!!! it's kind of just... implied in seasons 4-7 (excluding the late captain pierce but that's one of the first episodes without henry and trapper) but as the show does address it in the text as it goes forward (especially in gfa - no spoilers but, oh boy) and it just. makes what is essentially a comedy with self contained episodes feel more like a full narrative
#it gives mash the best of both worlds#like yes they don't care for continiuity that much bc who tf remembers but for the Important stuff they show up#its me talking#the late captain pierce period of adjustment depressing news the joker is wild my beloveds#vanya watches mash

something about how the closest we see to Hawkeye giving up is when the Army declares him dead and he has no means of rectifying the issue
#but then he gets off the bus when he hears that there are wounded#this episode breaks my heart#ep: The Late Captain Pierce

the incubator is one of the most mash-22 episodes who ever lived
trap: who’s your commanding officer
major: colonel lambert’s the commanding officer on this base
hawk: where would we find him?
major: well, nowhere on the base that’s for sure
