Who Knew? Reviews

When I saw this episode, I got to know a side of Hawkeye one rarely saw in MASH... The caring and deeply emotional side. When a Nurse dies he takes upon the difficult task of delivering the eulogy. This is made extra hard due to the fact that nobody, not even Hawkeye, really knew this nurse. It takes her diary for Hawkeye to get to know her, and get to know himself. And the funeral service becomes a riveting affair that reminds us that even those who goes through our life like a ghost can become very important to us.

Very good episode. We finally see that M*A*S*H is coming to an end and Alda in the eulogy starts talking about his love it seems real. This show had been on a long time and the end was in sight and you knew it. You could see that these people really liked each other. You know when Alda said Charles that the friendship was there. Not many times did we see Alda as he was so easily in character as wisecracking Hawkeye Pierce. This episode is one of my favorites its a very sentimental episode and one that makes the character of Hawkeye who has used comedy to get through the war a real person. Alda shines in this episode.
