I am watching an alternative version of MASH in which Col Henry Blake (McLean Stevenson) stays for the entire 11 seasons, then – in the final episode – he commits suicide by hanging himself. He has assistance from Hawkeye Pierce, who holds the stepladder for him, so presumably there’s a rationale for this, but I forget what it was.
At the end of the finale, the camera shows a 5-ton truck full of body bags of KIAs pulling into an air field. The bodies are to be loaded onto a cargo plane to be shipped to the US. As soldiers gather around the truck to unload it, in the distance a fighter jet appears and fires a missile at the truck.
“INCOMING!” someone shouts.
The missile streaks towards the truck and the camera – the picture cuts to black a millisecond before impact, but we hear the impact and explosion. The sound fades to silence, cue “Suicide Is Painless” and end credits.
And then I woke up.
War is hell,
This is dF
