I'm not sure why I dislike this episode so much. I guess because I am kind of cynical sometimes. After a particularly tough stretch in surgery, the boys are having a drink with Henry when General Clayton calls and announces that there is the possibility of a ceasefire. Of course, word gets out and everyone goes bananas. I'm sure there is going to be some hope and celebration. Hawkeye, whom I find less appealing, especially in these early episodes, assumes there is no chance this is wrong news. Trapper is much more subdued and tentative, refusing to celebrate until word is official. Hawkeye, who has been cavorting with some of the most gorgeous women imaginable, tells them he is married, which makes him an even bigger ass than normal. He also takes over the whole celebration, running the show. We know that this popular show wasn't going anywhere, so there is no question how it will end. It's nice that as the role matured, he began to have some feet of clay at times. Watching this made me uncomfortable.
