Sometimes You Hear the Bullet (s1 e17): Hawkeye’s emotions run high when an old friend comes to Korea to write a book about the war; meanwhile, a private turns out to have faked his age to enlist.

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

These are two scenes from Season 1 that I always point to whenever somebody tries to tell me that the first three seasons were just silly slapstick with no drama, seriousness, or substance to them.

'Last I heard, I thought you had a fool-proof way to beat the draft.'

'Well, the recruiting sergeant peeked under my dress, and here I am.'

Deaths that make me cry even though I've seen them a bajillion times: Tommy Gillis and Janet Fraiser.

something so hauntological about watching mash season 3 knowing how it ends...none of the characters know henry's never going to make it home, the actors all found out in real time. but the narrative knows how this ends, and the narrative is waiting with an open mouth. so the narrative has henry prefigure his own death throughout the season. in o.r. when hawkeye reassures him one day you're gonna have to go back and die in your bed in bloomington, henry says that he's done that several times. he complains in private charles lamb that everything in this country disappears except me (untrue) followed by boy, would i like to wake up some morning, look down and find myself gone (true). when he gets trapped in the wreckage of the latrine in bombed he knocks twice for "dead" rather than three times for "alive." then there's the scene in the consultant where he soaks in the pool, calling it heaven but says the water could be just a titch warmer (burning burning burning), avoiding conversation with frank by submerging himself underwater. henry spends the whole season unknowingly rehearsing his impending death. he goes around camp trying on other people's deaths for size, haunting the narrative before he's even out of it.

in conclusion:

#mash #id in alt text #this is a pointless text post #using the last shreds of my brain power to formulate one (1) thought before this migraine takes over #something something tommy gillis giving him the kiss of death in sometimes you hear the bullet #it's kinda fucked up that they were going to have the cast party immediately after like one of the writers should have said something :/ #deadass if i'd have been mac i would have cried myself to sleep for a week i'd be PISSED #anyway i firmly believe i could get at least three people into mash based solely on The Hauntology and i'm only three seasons in #ghosts

tommy gilles was funny as hell for showing up , kissing henry blake on the mouth , and then dying almost immediately afterwards tbh

#he had about three minutes of screentime to do the funniest thing he could possibly do #and by god did he deliver #you have to admire his unparalleled commitment to the bit #townes watches mash ! #mash #m*a*s*h #mashposting #mashblr #mash 4077 #1x17 #‘ sometimes you hear the bullet ‘ #lgbt #lgbtq #hawkeye #hawkeye pierce #henry blake #colonel blake

I want Sidney to find out about Tommy Gillis sometime after the end of the show and just be like "so when I was helping you with your nightmares about your childhood friends dying brought on by the stress of operating on so many wounded kids in Korea you didn't think to mention your childhood friend who actually died on the operating table in Korea?" and Hawkeye's just like "...no."

#mashposting #it's just so funny that sometimes you hear the bullet never comes up

obvious statement incoming but watching m*a*s*h is laughing and giggling and having a good time with your besties hawkeye and radar etc but then A Scene happens and suddenly you feel your chest has hollowed out, ribs missing and heart exposed

#for all interested s1e17 sometimes you hear the bullet inspired this #screaming crying throwing up #that said mash is my favorite show SO good #mash 4077 #mash

Sometimes You Hear the Bullet (s1 e17): Hawkeye’s emotions run high when an old friend comes to Korea to write a book about the war; meanwhile, a private turns out to have faked his age to enlist.

Dr. Pierce and Mr. Hyde (s2 e5): After operating non-stop for more than a day, Hawkeye flips out and, among other things, tries to give North Korea the camp’s latrine.

Hi hello I just got here errruhhh what’s mash and is it something to look into

1) mash is a hit dramedy tv series from the 70s about american surgeons serving in the korean war. its notable for its anti-war (and anti-establishment at times) stance, as well as being really fucking sad and really funny at the same time. also hawkeye pierce is bisexual for reals

2) yes

#my personal advice for watching mash: #watch it without the laugh track if possible #start w season 1. if u don't vibe with it then start w s2 but come back to s1 to watch 'yankee doodle doctor' and #'sometimes you hear the bullet' those episodes are mandatory no matter what #its me talking #idk u can go thru my mash tag to get a feel of what mash is if u want but it will be! incredibly biased #i hope u enjoy anon mash is incredible #vanya watches mash

Many years ago, I think it'd be late 00s, I read this rly short fic somewhere on the internet and it was about BJ Hunnicut back home in the States proudly watching a now student-aged Erin protesting the Vietnam War and I have no idea where I read it or who wrote it or anything like that but if that author is out there and ever sees this... I still think of that fic sometimes, because yes.

#m*a*s*h #fandom #sometimes you hear the bullet and sometimes fanfic is absolutely right about things #erin won't remember her dad not being there when she was a bb but she knows *he* remembers it D: D: D:
