What a great episode. Well written script, compelling story, excellent acting, all rolled up in one half-hour episode. That the writers of a television were able to come up with such a story is remarkable. The chaplain's heroism and the soldier's anguish were aptly portrayed and generated really powerful drama and some strong acting. It's as if the producers of this show had decided that they would try to inject some real drama into the show and explore some topics that some in the audience could find uncomfortable. For this episode deals with questions of ethics and morality that transcend the usual two-dimensional fluff of a Hollywood sitcom and for that reason make this particular episode of MASH special.
