YMMV / M*A*S*H S4 E4: The Late Captain Pierce

• Harsher in Hindsight: Hawkeye's comment about "a swarm of locusts" only rating a postcard from his father in this in light of his discussion with Charles in "Sons and Bowlers", in which he revealed that his father had a history of downplaying bad news like his mother's impending death.
• Like You Would Really Do It: The creators get a high number of points for trying by playing the actual conclusion as a departure scene for a main character, especially with how offscreen Trapper's recent farewell was done, but come on, HAWKEYE?
• Retroactive Recognition: The writers of this episode were Glen and Les Charles, better known as co-creators of Cheers.
