Most shows would have been heavy handed about the vows themselves. Instead, it was very subtle about their part in this gender fest. They were very heavy-handed as expected in most other scenes.

If the wife had reached the point of cutting off all contact with the workaholic hubby, she wouldn't have accepted the solution. She would understand that it would only lead to a horrible resentment from him that he had to resign from the job in the place he was born to perform.

The General would never have left his country without a grant of full diplomatic recognition that he was the leader (President, whatever).

What on earth did Flo Avery do other than be born on an auspicious day?

What was the HONOR in meeting her as everyone practically genuflected before her? Cicely Tyson was an awesome bit of casting, though.

The conversation between Senator Daly (Ross) and the FG was excellent. How could a viewer emotionally doubt what Lacey was saying when it came to rights? TPTB took a page out of presidential candidate Alda on The West Wing. The data and situational beliefs each character offered was on point and unusually deep. Genuine and good faith all around. Rare on such a show, or TV, for that matter.

A very great problem with the decision to open up the guest list was not so much who to invite. It was who would get shut out?

I guess the farm-fresh Rose Garden managed to have its perfume tamed in two days?

MASH ended with a helicopter ride and this one with a train ride. The former made a great deal of sense with significance. The latter? Not so much.
