It's full of heart, and isn't afraid to ask the "what if?" questions that are at the heart of faith itself. Kudos to you, and everyone involved, for this beautiful episode, that still brings tears to my eyes, as well as a smile to my soul. Dear Burt,

However, I do watch the show almost religiously, and by far "Quo Vadis, Captain Chandler?" has stuck with me as one of my favourite episodes. Thank you so much for writing this beautiful story, and sharing it with us :) Burt,

Please let me know if I'm mistaken in this. In the meantime, thank you for the kind words.

Nice to meet you online (even if it is only by your articles and posts :) ) and I look forward to more articles/posts from you! Dear Burt,

I'm not sure you'd necessarily recognize them by their titles--and, frankly, even I wasn't crazy about all of them--but the others were "The Novocaine Mutiny," "Hawk's Nightmare," "The General's Practitioner," "Souvenirs," "Images," "The Light That Failed" and "The Grim Reaper".

Seeing as how he was kind enough to leave a nice comment, I should point out that Larry Gelbart directed "Quo Vadis, Captain Chandler?" and did a fine job. I assume he also had a hand in casting Alan Fudge in the title role. I couldn't have asked for a better Jesus. Best, Burt Well, that worked, so I’ll press my luck.

I wish Burt had written more episodes where the military is celebrated, and not made to look like idiots. I think primarily of the episode with the retention officer, where Klinger re-enlists. Pure anti-military propaganda. But always remember, Burt, I will always appreciate your efforts.
