Combat Hospital ep. 4, "Wrong Place at the Right Time" - Recap

"This is the best job ever." -Props Department

Lovely orange sunrise in the deserty distance gives way to the silly COMBAT HOSPITAL title card. But, and I know I haven't mentioned this before, I completely dig the theme music. I'm a sucker for middle-eastern percussion. It makes me feel kind of at home. Which is weird... must be a past-life thing.

Combat Hospital ep. 3, "It's My Party" - Recap

But more importantly, TIA CARRERE

Pederson snores like a trucker. Or like an elephant. Or like a foley guy standing in front of a microphone fake-snoring. Gordon is not impressed.

Then we get to see her with her hair down for the first time and finally she looks like Michelle Borth, like her sexy pouty hair-everywhere IMDb photo.

Then she's showering in a stall that only comes up to her shoulders. Kandahar is just going to keep looking more and more like summer camp throughout the episode. Especially when a nasty saucer-sized and depressingly CG tarantula inches its way over the shower wall to the strains of ominous horror-movie music. So, because Gordon is a chick and a military chick, she grabs her gun and shoots the fucker!

Combat Hospital ep. 2, "Enemy Within" - Recap

Pederson: "And how do you propose we get her onto the base?"

Gordon: "I propose we Wizard of Oz that shit."

The title card strikes me as being super cheesy to the point of hilarity - goofy font over a panoramic shot of the airfield looming ever closer to your eyeballs - reminds me of the opening credits of The Rocky Horror Picture Show except it's not a comedy. Wait, let me check Wikipedia... yep, apparently they think they're not a comedy, so I'm obliged to consider them as such. However hard it might be. And that silly title card isn't helping.
