Trivia
Edward Winter first appeared as Capt. Halloran in "Deal Me Out" (8 December 1973), but would later play the paranoid Col. Sam Flagg six times in the series. ("Halloran" may have been one of Flagg's many aliases; when he and Sidney Freedman meet in a later episode, Flagg reminds Freedman they'd once played poker together.)

Goofs
The wounded soldier in OR is apparently Army Counter Intelligence but Frank keeps referring to him as "C.I.D.". "C.I.D." is Criminal Investigation Division. Counter Intelligence would be referred to as "C.I.C." (Counter Intelligence Corps)

Quotes
Army Capt. Halloran: [sitting down beside Cpl. Klinger, and seeing him in drag for the first time] Hey... Up close, you're a guy!
Cpl. Klinger: Far away too.

Top 3 episode.

This is by far the best episode of MASH, I can't stop laughing when I watch it. This is also one of the best appearances of Col. Flagg there is. The card game is one of the best filmed sequences in the history of the show. Pat Morita gives on of his classic lines when Col. Flagg asks if he can talk in front of Klinger in drag and he says that's my wife. Then he sits down next to Klinger and he says you're a guy up close, and he says far away too. I love it. The zany madcap adventures that are set for this episode makes it top 3 for me. Radar hitting the Korean con man is classic as well. You also have an early appearance of John Ritter shows the early acting ability that made him such a lovable star.
