what are your top 5 piercintyre moments? if you've answered something like this before, i'd be happy with a link to the post. thanks!

hi thanks for the question, i don't think i have addressed this specifically before:

Life with Father, when they literally ride off into the sunset on a white horse, taking my whole brain with them.

2. Check-up, their goodbye scene.

3. Ceasefire when it turns out Trapper was right to be cynical, he doesn't gloat, and he encourages Hawkeye to continue being hopeful and optimistic. They support each other even when they don't see eye-to-eye.

4. Sticky Wicket when Hawkeye is moping with his hat covering his eyes, is kissed by a woman and he says "I told you to leave me alone Trapper" as far as I'm concerned, that's when the ship war was won.

5. Dr. Pierce and Mr. Hyde, the scene where Hawkeye wakes Trapper in the middle of the night. It's really more about Hawkeye and what he's going through but I've always loved how intimately framed they are and the way Hawkeye grabs onto to Trapper and pulls him in close. Sneaky sixth moment: I love the epilogue to this episode where Trapper doesn't miss a beat explaining why Hawkeye does the things Hawkeye does.

#piercintyre #re: mash #hawkeye x trapper #mash #SEVENTH moment is yankee doodle doctor 'real soldiers' cut to traphawk dancing #there's lots of fun silly moments that only exist to show how in sync they are #the entirety of 'life with father' is this #they're really fun to watch because they're almost always communicating with each other in some way when they're on screen #it's conscious - it's intentional - they are each other's shadows #wayne did not love that trapper lived for hawkeye but i certainly do RIP wayne

Season 3 Episodes, Ranked

So… ALL of these are good. Really. You can start at the “worst” one and just have an amazing time all the way through. As always, feel free to reply with your own rankings if you like!

24. A Full Rich Day

The Luxembourg colonel riseth from the dead! A murderous Turk must be sedated! And Frank is a dick, little less of a shock there.

23. Bulletin Board

Trapper’s letter-home show. The muddy tug-of-war at the end is too erotic for my taste.

22. There Is Nothing Like a Nurse

How DARE they take our nurses away and leave us to mope and sing in the Officers’ Club for an excessive amount of time.

21. Adam’s Ribs

Did Hawkeye really have to throw the tray?

20. Payday

OMG Trapper steals from Hawk, I am aghast, but I still can’t resist shows about gambling.

19. House Arrest

The stuff with ball-busting cougar Colonel Reese is a little misogynistic and gets uncomfortable. However, nothing but respect for Hawkeye belting Frank in the face.

18. Officer of the Day

Hawk looks terrific in his sheriff outfit. The drama of Col. Flagg trying to execute the patient feels too serious for Flagg’s character.

17. Iron Guts Kelly

Always here for military stupidity, which is very starkly on display when Colonel Wortman insists on moving Kelly’s body around. If Margaret hadn’t done the same this whole mess could’ve been avoided, AMIRITE?

16. Big Mac

Radar cosplaying General MacArthur will be a resounding yes from me.

15. Alcoholics Unanimous

Minus a couple of points since Henry doesn’t appear, this is still great, the booze klatch between Hawk, Trapper and Margaret being a standout moment. Let’s hear it for one of this series’ most beloved, enduring themes: clownish drunkenness.

14. Springtime

Light fare in a heavy season—sweet, charming. Klinger at his romantic best, looking like a D.H. Lawrence heroine (better than the wedding dress IMO). Even Radar gets a roll in the hay.

13. The General Flipped at Dawn

The season premiere boasts a funny plot and a good sneak preview of li’l Harry Morgan, vaguely elfin in his gloves and giant helmet.

12. Life With Father

We waited for a Mulcahy show and we got one! A big +1 for the flamboyant gayness of Piercintyre on the horse.

11. White Gold

Flagg is back to being cartoonish, and penicillin theft is the name of the game. Hilly Hicks is super as the beleaguered medic. Also features Flagg’s notable “glasses” disguise.

10. Mad Dogs and Servicemen

Radar isn’t rabid, but it was a nervous couple of days. Love the kindness shown to him here, as well as the languid scene where he and Henry walk the countryside looking for the dog.

09. Check-Up

Trapper won’t get a proper chance to sign off for good, so it’s here that I have to say bye, Trap. I worship your dropped R’s and your crooked smile and your fairly Olympian body and I’ll miss you, my darling.

08. Rainbow Bridge

Ooooohhhhh Tokyo. Another time, guys--we have to do a bunch of surgery and then pick POWs up from behind Chinese lines real quick. The folk music here (more than elsewhere) is affecting and informs the atmosphere very well.

07. Love and Marriage

Hawkeye helps Kwon and his wife form a domestic tableau, while an American G.I. participates in a marriage scam. Nice symmetry in the two stories, both of them engaging and believable.

06. Private Charles Lamb

Lavish, celebratory, and indulgent. This visually stunning show, teeming with cute animals, is one of MASH’s most joyous, still balanced by the sadness of the boy who shot himself in the leg.

05. The Consultant

A plum role for Alan’s father, and a bittersweet “student has become the master”-type plot. Also, you know, a pool party.

04. Bombed

Stunning, terrifying effects and true panic—we’re in a war, everyone. Also the car-crash fascination that is Trap and Margaret in the shed, the love that dare not speak its name.

03. Aid Station

Even worse and scarier conditions. The first big, open show of tenderness between Margaret and Hawk, platonic of course, the result being effing top-notch teary-eyed feels.

02. O.R.

So much surgery. Not all of it successful. This and all the attendant emotions are just a day in the life of our brave doctors, here in Korea at the 4077th MASH.

01. Abyssinia, Henry

Shitfaced bonhomie at the restaurant, Klinger’s Carmen Miranda outfit, the nifty grey suit, and hearts full of love. All for nothing. The last scene may be rough to sit through—it appalled a nation of viewers when it first aired—but that’s only because they did Henry so right.
