Father Mulcahy being a spin the bottle champion is something that's so important to me actually.

S/O to past Della for stopping a binge right before Follies of the Living-Concerns of the Dead, which means that current Della was immediately smacked in the face by emotions today 🥸

S10e11 “Follies of the Living, Concerns of the Dead” Written by Alan Alda

[mash-rated]

S10E11 “Follies of the Living -- Concerns of the Dead”

Synopsis: the ghost of a mortally wounded GI wanders around the 4077th for a few days, but only Klinger (who is delirious with a mystery fever) can see him

Rating:

Jokes: 2/5

Seriousness: 4/5

Plot: 4/5

Queer subtext: 4/5

Margaret's characterization: 3/5

My thoughts: every time the plots start to feel repetitive, an episode like this pops up to change everything. Private Weston’s perspective is unexpectedly refreshing, and I love the one-sided conversation he has with Margaret about feeling like nobody is listening. Though it’s interesting that this is not the only “Private Weston” who’s passed through the 4077th

#He def got drunk and somehow convinced everyone else at the 4077th to play and then rigged it so he could kiss Hawkeye#Except everyone else kept leaving the game until he and Hawk were the only two playing but Francis was so drunk that he didn't notice#But it didn't really matter bc Hawk was the only one he wanted to kiss anyway#Hawk can take his alcohol way better though and he actually cares about Mulcahy so he probs told him no and just put him to bed#Maybe in the Swamp so he could keep and eye on him#Or maybe he took Francis back to his own tent but Francis just grabbed onto him and wouldn't let go and then immediately fell asleep so#Hawk couldn't escape#Which could go one of several ways in the morning#Depending on things like whether Hawk managed to extract himself or not and how much Mulchay remembers#I'd like to think it ended happily for them though#I'm def thinking too much into this but he just sounded so proud of his spin the bottle skills and it was adorable#I love him#Father Mulcahy#MASH#S10E11: Follies of the Living Concerns of the Dead#This is all Alan Alda's fault how dare he write and direct things (which inevitably all make me go insane)#Hawkahy

Iolanthe had the same idea over twenty years ago... Spin the Bottle
