Featured review
Trapper is his own person???
Ok mind you I just started this series so my perspective is a bit new and not sat in nostalgia or the intended time period. I do enjoy watching though or else I wouldn't of made it to season 2, but there are some elements that rub me the wrong way and sorry if they seep through in my review.
Personally I like the few in between episodes where Trapper has his own mind and isn't playing second fiddle to the most childish man on the base whose moral code varies from person to person. Trapper seems better than that yet he is always following behind in Hawkeye's antics. Though their banter is usually funny, this was a nice break.
Here Trapper becomes fond of a little Korean boy who is brought in as his patient for minor injuries. When he finds out his parents are most likely dead Trapper wants to adopt the boy so he writes his wife a letter about it. Well maybe he is all childish like his bff if he thinks sending a random third child with his wife is a good idea when she probably already has her hands full with no father around to help, or it's possible she likes being a single parent. Either way it's intended as a nice gesture while he's away kissing other girls.
Also, them chewing Henry out for putting the kid in an orphanage like what else is he to do?! These are supposed to be fully grown men, DOCTORS, yet Hawkeye and Trapper have no sense of reality sometimes. I get needing someone to blame but the person who gives you the most slack all the time, really? Don't they take enough out on Frank? The writers try to make Frank a jerk here and there to justify how they treat him but it just makes them look like d*cks, especially Hawkeye.
All in all it was an ok episode with some heartfelt moments. The scenes of all the characters spending time with the kid were cute, well not the one where he was about to blow up.
