.. If you'd been watching the past three seasons. Melodramatic and Overwrought, thanks in large part to Alda's heavy handed directing.
The main story here is Hawkeye's flipping out after watching a woman smother her baby. A traumatic experience to be sure, but it begs the question why the other 20-odd people on the bus who witness the same thing, somehow emerge from the ordeal unscathed?
Another problem is there's way too much going on; Charles & Margaret are involved in not one, but two subplots, BJ's unnecessary discharge snafu, Father Mulcahy's hearing loss and Klinger feverish search for Soon Lee's family, the latter two seem to resonate the most.
The best scene is the farewell dinner, where everyone reveals their future plans. Some are funny, some are deeply moving (Bigelow saying she's had enough), and incredibly ironic (Klinger staying in Korea)
As a previous reviewer said, "It could've been much more"..I have to agree.
