It's a toss-up over which is worse, Mumford & Wilcox's script, which has Klinger forging Potter's signature and then impersonating Radar, as well as Sidney curing suicidal tendencies with a quick dose of hypnosis, or the direction, which results in many off line readings.  Not that it's a terrible episode, but I can't think of any reason to recommend it, unless for the opening scene in the OR where they discuss television (anachronistically of course), or for Klinger's bad interior decorating.

David Cramer (this time as the Aide), Clyde Kusatsu (this time Sgt. Michael Yee), James Lough (giving the worst performance in the episode, as the Courier), and Kellye Nakahara (getting more lines than usual as Yamato) return.

  1. You are an asshole. You only wish you could act as well as James Lough in this episode. Why don’t you go back to jacking off to that autographed picture of Klinger dressed as Scarlet O’Hara and march in to your wife and tell her you’re a closet homosexual and love wearing her panties and dresses.

    1. Thank you for more laughter than this episode offers. I am female by the way.
