for some reason, we are watching MASH on Netflix. haven't seen it in a decade. Saw it plenty when it was first run.
A disturbing thought occurred to me last night.
Around episode 4, Colonel Blake gets a transfer to Tokyo. Burns goes dictator, and of course the gang sets up a trick to get Blake to take command of the 4077th.
But here's the thing, Blake was happy and safe in Tokyo.
And some seasons later, he is going to be sent home, and during that flight, he's going to die.
Which means, Hawkeye's shenanigans got Blake moved from relatively safe Tokyo back to Korea contributed to Blake's fate.
Part of this is really just the short-memory of TV back then. Heck, the next episode, when Blake is feeling stressed, Hawkeye is talking about helping to get Blake transferred to someplace nice. Completely ignoring what happened an episode earlier.
I'm curious as to what anybody else thinks of the situation of a 30+ year old TV series's dark inconsistency
