A question I’ve always been stuck on

Now this might be an odd question but please hear me out. In the GI-Joe toy line there have been various figures with guns, grenades, knives, masks etc, that were molded onto their bodies rather than being separate pieces. But then you have figures like Captain Grid-Iron that you put together. My question is, why wasn’t this the norm? It can’t be because Hasbro was afraid of choking hazards because they released this figure. All of Grid-Iron’s gear you could put on. I think I have OCD from being an old school Centurions (POWER EXTREME) fan so this issue has always bugged me slightly. Thank you for reading. YO JOE!

General Knowledge

In MASH S5 EP21 “The General’s Practitioner” after our favorite drunken doctor Hawkeye Pierce turns down the offer to be the personal doctor to General Korshak (side note the actor who played Korshak did a great job) the bumbling Frank Burns asks for a letter of recommendation from Colonel Potter to take the job himself. Instead Potter tells Burns he’ll write a letter detailing all of Burns’ malpractices and Frank quickly drops the matter. My question is why didn’t Potter write a positive letter (besides the show obviously not wanting Larry Linville to leave IRL) to Korshak? I would’ve lied like one of Klinger’s Persian rugs that he uses for walls. Even if Potter wanted to keep his integrity he could’ve passed Burns off by telling Korshak that he’s sending him a Major instead of a Captain and been 100% truthful. It would’ve been the perfect opportunity to cut Burns for another cutter. Thank you for reading.

No healing for Newsome?

In MASH S8 EP17 “Heal Thyself” we’re introduced to the gregarious yet somewhat genteel (listening to Winchester has had a positive effect on my vocabulary) Captain Steven Newsom. At first Newsom fits into the Swamp and OR like Klinger into a slip, but PTSD from past events causes Newsom to retreat from the OR (and possibly reality). My question for my fellow MASHERS is should Newsom have had a follow up episode? Or at least a mention about how Friedman’s treatment was going? I know he was only a one shot character and leaving his fate vague made Hawkeye cracking up during the finale hit that much harder but to be honest the actor (Edward Herrmann) did such a good job I wanted to see more of him. He seemed like a guy who was there from the beginning but got loaned out to another unit. Thank you for reading.

Cain. Were they insane?

(WARNING: I am not trying to rewrite the movie, I know it’s just a movie and that the movie had to happen) In RoboCop 2, when The Old Man was showing off his Delta City model and RoboCain started destroying it, instead of standing around laughing why didn’t the press and civilians immediately get the fuck out of there? Why didn’t the cops tell them to get the fuck out of there? It’s a malfunctioning cyborg bigger than RoboCop! Not only that, this isn’t even the first time a giant OCP robot went crazy during a demo! Thank you for reading.

Leaving the 4077 should’ve been “No Sweat”

In MASH S9 EP11 (No Sweat) Col Sherman T Potter keeps getting woken up during a heatwave and becomes more delirious with each “waking” moment, to the point that Klinger has to make suggestions for him during his phone calls. My question for the group is why didn’t Klinger take the chance to get Potter to write him up a 3 day pass? A Section 8 would’ve been more ideal but Klingers can’t be choosers.

A Rosie outlook

I was recently watching the MASH episode “A Night At Rosie’s” and I have to ask: how come Hawkeye never made a move on Rosie? She was attractive, independent and had almost unlimited access to booze; Rosie would’ve been perfect for him!

Charles’ children

One question I’ve always had about Major Charles Emerson Winchester The Third (Gentlemen…) is why does the normally antisocial aristocrat hate adults but love kids? He’ll call the entire camp children for “stealing” his newspaper but when it comes to actual children he’ll hide one from Korean army recruiters, give a bunch of them candy anonymously and even try to adopt one. It’s just weird to me how he drops the pompous act around them. Thank you for reading.

24 Hr Fitness?

In the first RoboCop movie, why did Morton say that Robo was a “24 hour a day cop” when he had to take breaks for eating and sleeping? Was it hyperbole or did he think that Robo could be activated/available 24 hours a day? Thank you for your cooperation, good night.

Wood someone explain this?

In the RoboCop, before Murphy kills about 5% of the criminal element in Old Detroit in a drug factory raid, Robo knocks down a wooden/steel reinforced door in order to get into it by punching it about 15(?) times. My question for the group is, should he have needed that many punches? He can bend steel and exert 400 ft/lbs of force with one hand. Plus in RoboCop 2 he punched through a steel door easily. Is it that the wooden door was too pliable? Or maybe Robo’s human side wanted to fuck with Clarence and scare him by repeatedly knocking on the door? Thank you for reading.

Not exactly the sharpest..

Ok I’ll cut to the chase (this is the last claw pun I swear) Why does Sabretooth keep trying to fight Wolverine when he has bones and Wolverine has bones COVERED IN ADAMANTIUM! I know Creed’s crazy and wants to prove he’s the best/make Logan an animal like he is but at some point he’d have to realize that one of the few times he beat Wolverine was when he had adamantium and Logan didn’t. It’s like a guy with a stick fighting a guy with a metal skeleton and a metal sword. This shit never made sense to me. Thank you for reading.

Oh Henry!

What would the dearly departed Henry Blake have thought if he saw Hawkeye running the entire 4077 (In “Commander Pierce”)? He did pick him as Chief Surgeon but this was a different beast. Would he have felt pride, confusion or would the shock have taken him out again? Thank you for reading.

Funny Business

I just saw MASH S7 E7 (None Like It Hot) and I like the fact that not only does Potter go along with some of Klinger’s Section 8 schemes, he sometimes encourages them. He respects the game.

Cementing Relationships

I just rewatched this Episode (S9 EP3) and it had one of my favorite Winchester insults about Klinger (He is an incompetent, now onto new business). One question though, why did Potter let Hawkeye, BJ and Charles anywhere near a trough or a shovel? Their hands are for manual dexterity not manual labor. Didn’t they have a latrine crew? Oh well I guess the episode had to happen. Thank you for reading.
