Favorite Moments & Quotes ➡ 1.22 - Major Fred C. Dobbs

↪ Frank wants a transfer. (1/2)

Trivia: The title of this episode, "Major Fred C. Dobbs" is a reference to the character of the same name portrayed by Humphrey Bogart in the classic 1948 film, "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre". Since the plot of this episode centered around Frank's greed for money and in this case gold, the title is apropos.

Favorite Moments & Quotes ➡ 2.15 - Officers Only

↪ "Another Shirley Temple." Frank's a lightweight. 😄🍹

On a side note, this was the first appearance of the "officers club" which would become the camp's on site bar through the rest of the series. In this episode since it's brand new it looks pretty nice, wicker tables and chairs, decorative lampshades, etc. As the series went on the officers club progressively got dingier looking, more like a dive bar, the wicker tables were replaced with tires as tabletops, the lampshades were changed, etc. Just a detail that always stuck out to me.
