🔥 BJ Hunnicutt
My opinion on BJ Hunnicutt is whatever one of my mutuals last posted about him. My opinion on BJ Hunnicutt is whatever will get me notes. My opinion on BJ Hunnicutt is whatever Mike Farrell said in whatever his latest interview is because that man has so much love for this show and this character and his longstanding support of the queer community means so much to me and I like to think it meant a lot to Mr. Stiers too if it’s not too parasocial to say so and his interaction with MASH fans even decades later is so kind and sweet and the way he played his character even when the writers admitted he didn’t have enough to work with textually still has such an impact on so many viewers and I think that’s really powerful especially when you think about how it’s contributed to the recent boom in the general MASH fandom economy which no matter what I absolutely consider a net positive to the legacy of the show and to the world in general and even just to me personally given the way that being a part of this small community has changed my own life.
But mostly my opinion on BJ Hunnicutt is just. Whatever.
#I only care about him insofar as he affects other characters I like lol#Starky loves Anons#Starky loves answering questions#the thing with characters as popular as he is#is that before I even begin mentally I'm like oh I'm good there I guess#that part's done it's covered#I don't have to worry about coming up with a lot of thoughts and feelings about this character#because SO many other people already have#so I don't feel bad about not caring about him that much#because he's being cared for! by like 50 people all sharing custody of him#I instinctively want to turn my attention to less well loved places you know?#also I just love niches. LOVE to find a little niche. my favorite thing in the world.#ok now I hope this doesn't show up in any tags if it does im so sorry idk how tags work anymore#mash#Mike Farrell#sometimes I see people say Mr. Farrell is a worse actor than some others on MASH#and I'm just like well everybody sucks at everything compared to MY David Ogden Stiers who was perfect and could do anything always so jot#that down#and Mike here obviously loves MASH and loves gay people and that's all I could ever ask of any nice old man <3#Starky's Original Posts#BJ Hunnicutt
