Actor Harry Morgan, who played Col. Sherman Potter on M*A*S*H, died yesterday. Col. Potter was an eclectic combo of father figure and wry wit, a man of sharp horse sense – a bit of a curmudgeon too – and one of my favourite characters on the show. Morgan was 96 and is remembered fondly by…

Due diligence: SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER, yadda, yadda, yadda… The awful feeling I had in the pit of my stomach towards the end of this episode, where Bo unknowingly walks past Lauren’s cell while having a highly civil chat with the Ash-hole, was not unlike the feeling I get when I watch the messenger…
