Vietnam was Hell for Murdock, remember. It probably feeds on his fear, especially there at the end when talking to Hannibal.

I always think Murdock regresses or goes into his insanity defence when stuff gets too close to the bone with Vietnam (and interestingly, aside from the start when he's trying to pretend he's not Murdock to Fulbright, he *doesn't* act up when they actually go back) for example the jungles in "Bend in the river", that's probably gonna remind him of 'Nam so he spends the whole time being the director, "Dust 'N Diamonds", he keeps on with the bear etc, "The Island" he just completely goes back in that tank. That's my theory anyhow

Well the "shock factor" of Murdock getting shot worked for me. I thought it upped the suspense and the ante a bit...and showed that the guys will still carry on with their duty despite being injured.

Just looked at the ep - he definitely gets shot in the shoulder, but not the leg. The bullets hit the side of the chopper. (He wouldn't have been able to fly the chopper if he'd been hit in the leg anyway.) Trying to think of another ep where he got shot in the leg, but the only ones I recall getting hit there is BA and Face.

I looked at the ep again and even slowed it down to where I could see where bullet hits and it does hit into the shoulder.

When does Face get hit in the leg? In Vietnam. He mentions it in "A small and deadly war" when all the guys are complaining about Hannibal's plan and how it got Face shot in the leg, and Murdock shot down and...I can't remember what happened to BA. I should pay more attention to the big guy.

Face also gets it in the leg in Hannibal's dream sequence in Firing Line or Trial by Fire. Whichever.

Oh, I was thinking that he got hit in the leg on the show......I guess in one sense, he did, but only in the dream sequence. I was not even thinking about that one.

I'm now looking for an ep where Murdock is in a forest and a tree falls onto him.

Was that "Timber!"?

That would be it, thank you again.

I'm now looking for an ep where Murdock is in a chair and face is right there beside him, Murdock it what it seems to be sucking on laughing gas, I think face leaves the room for a few mins and then Murdock runs out of the room with the mask still onto his face. a nurse looks at him with shock on her face as he runs out saying something.
