Spoilers. Observations. Opinions.
Episode review and series recap.
Episode: Tied for first place in the Knucklehead Sweepstakes, and most obnoxious and disliked: Drum roll, please: On your left, McBurney. On your right, Bullen.
McBurney is perhaps descriptively insane. Staff want to play dirty tricks upon him, because of his constant nitpicking and fussbudgetry. They get away with it. He is given a super strong emetic, and vomits up what he thinks are his own entrails -- thanks to KFC chicken parts. Lots of buckets, please. His nervousness and hesitating speech are painful yet ultra-goofy to watch. His apoplexy is a constant explosion waiting to go off.
Bullen. Poor, sad, unfriended gambling-addicted evildoer. He stole a gold watch from a corpse, gambled it away and won it back. He ends up thinking the grim reaper is again coming for him, but lives to see yet another bumbling survival. I thought he found religion. Yes, the religion of those dice and assorted bad guys. He is hilarious. He is a buffoon if there ever was one. Move over, stupid wizard on Emerald City.
Mary and Foster: Mayhap they have a wedding someday. She is free, being a widow. Foster is still waiting for the divorce documents from the SF legal beagle.
Samuel saves the day, again, medically, then goes to the celebratory wedding. He delivers a distressed baby, and fits Bubba Foster with new half-leg.
Series: African Americans in South are in transition between slavery and freedom. Some Southern whites want to retain the old ways, being, for example, slaves being their economic stability. All of this will change. Medical staff and aides are from both North and South, and must learn to co-exist.
