Welcome to Gaia! ::

This is sort of the opposite of the "Funniest Moments in M*A*S*H history..." thread. Which episodes made you cry? What parts?

Oh, I have to agree. I didn't cry until it got to the very end, though, when Hawkeye and BJ said goodbye.

I remember that one. What made me cry was Charles saying goodbye to the baby.
I love it when you could see Charles Emerson Winchester's soft side.

I think my saddest one would have to be Sometimes You Hear the Bullet, where Hawkeye watches his friend Tommy, who's a journalist, die:

Hawkeye: I've seen kids die every day. How come I've never cried for them?
Henry: Because you're a doctor.
Hawkeye: What the hell's that supposed to mean?
Henry: Look, all I know is what they taught me at command school. And rule number one is that young men die, and rule number two is doctors can't change rule number one.

Those all made me feel sad, and the Sometimes you Hear the Bullet. made me cry too.

I can't remember an episode, but it was one where Hotlips was talking to a soldier who was looking forward to reuniting with his fianceé, but he died. A crappy summary, but it was very emotional, honest!

What was the one where Sydney puts this sargeant under hypnosis and BJ and Hawkeye helped to make the noise of the front, and it turns out that this sargeant's brother was in the same unit and was killed?

I don't think I could have either, even when you consider that they could have gotten discovered by North Koreans had they heard the baby. What I find most touching, however, is how it affected Hawkeye.

I've thought about that for a long while.
It always weighs heavy on my mind.
