before they appeared together on MASH, Alan Alda and Jamie Farr shared a brief scene at the end of the unsold pilot “Class Of ‘55”

I think the Claire/carmy storyline is all in service of syd/carmy nation bc it’s like ‘what if this guy was pursued by his childhood crush who it turns out is so into him, who is super hot and smart and also has an intense job, and his friends and family love her, and she respects his work, and is Cool about everything and also says the right thing when he says something mentally ill, and they have great sex’ and the season answered ‘he’d inevitably fuck it up anyways bc even this eerie mirage-like dream scenario on paper is NOT IT!’

MASH GIRLIES. WHAT THE FUCK

[variousqueerthings]

hate to give it to the old white guy, but alan alda’s character is right in this movie when he says: look during my first marriage I was a shitty partner, because I was a bad father, I was absent during the whole pregnancy because I hate thinking about birth and get uncomfortable by anatomy and blood, and I stress smoked and it just got worse after the kid was born and now I’m too old for a kid on top of that, I’ll be an old man by the time the kid is out of highschool and I don’t want that, I am literally a grandfather! but I really really love you, I want to be honest with you, because I love you”

and his partner is like, “no you’ll totally be great, I believe in you, and also otherwise I’ll leave you,” and so he says, ok I will try, but... no. nonononooo  

and now he is showing that everything he said is true and she seems surprised. some straight nonsense, but I kinda am into the story being quite honest that a baby does not suddenly change someone’s personality

I do expect a last minute change of narrative on this front, but it’s nice to see portrayed honestly while it lasts

I think post-war Hawkeye should grow a beard

the public library here is bar none the most insane institution i’ve ever been in first of all they forgot to charge me the 20 bucks for the massive banner we printed then we sat there for three hours and made 300 buttons and last month marie saw a dog fight outside the front doors and today she almost got in a fight in the bathroom
