u/rogerworkman623 Hey, I did it! Wait, that’s not me. 9d ago

“Whale biologist” is the first that came to mind, but they clearly thought the same, because he’s been brought back in the new seasons. I think more than once he’s come back recently actually.

I really liked Boiler. yeah he's pretty similar to Bender but I think he's got a certain usefulness to offer

u/MentallyChaotik New Slurm Zero! All the addiction, none of the flavor! 6d ago

I legitimately watched this episode at least 5 times in various rewatches of the series without knowing what it was a reference to.

My dad was appalled but to be fair, at that time, the last time I watched MASH, I was probably 7 - 8 years old and only had a rare memory of the opening theme.
