I knew the warning label said to avoid direct sunlight, I just chose to ignore it. My medicine has made me ultrasensitive to our closest star, and now I have a sunburn that looks like a port wine stain. Not unlike Mikhail Gorbachev's. Feh. Now I'll just stay inside and get rickets.
By the time Charles makes his appearance in the MASH cycle, I always, for some reason, find myself studying the character to see when his overbearing snobbery lessens to a somewhat humbled arrogance. I know it doesn't work that way, and I realize now that it's the reason that Charles is such a fascinating character to me. He never fails to remind us that he is a Winchester, better educated, bred, craftier and more skilled a surgeon than anyone, yet there are glimpses into his humanity- philosophizing about death, despairing over his musicians, tenderly kissing the unfortunate Korean-American infant as she is left at the monastery- to make us realize that he has depth and dimension. He occasionally contributes to pranks, smirks at Hawkeye and BJ's shenanigans, and schemes with Klinger, to remind us that he's not another Frank. I would detest him in real life, but on the screen it's easier to see his redeeming qualities.
Enough character study, yes?
