Loretta Swit was an amazing actress and an amazing person. She fought for the integrity of Margaret’s character and was the reason Margaret was able to grow and become the wonderful character she is. There was no one else like her. May she rest in peace.

Oh, don't mind me, I'm just over here making myself sad thinking about how Margaret greets two very important men in her life. With Donald, she's like a teenager, so excited for her superawesome (Margaret's "words", not mine) boyfriend (husband) to show up so she can show him off. Her whole body language is so bouncy, and those little squeals of delight when she greets him just makes me so sad. We know things haven't been great between them, and she has decided to forgive his indiscretions, and it's just so clear how she more than anything just projects images of a perfect husband onto him. In her mind he's everything she wants him to be, and her whole being is just an embodiment of that fantasy.

And then, her beaming but contained smile when her father pulls up to camp, the hug he immediately reprimands her for. How she goes from calling him dad, to sir, to colonel in five seconds, getting farther away from familiarity with every word. It also breaks my heart how important it is for her to show off her nurses - the sharpest ones in Korea - just like a little girl wanting to show off something she made in school, hearing her father say she did good. But, of course, he doesn't. And the way she feels so controlled and held back with her father, like she is constantly aware of her movements, except for the hug, that unfortunate slip. Ugh, such great acting!

All of this makes me think of "Our Finest Hour", when Margaret talks about the people at the 4077 as family. The people there are everything Donald and her father are not, and also the ones with the biggest pieces of her heart.
