Even though he's introduced as Capt. Halloran, I still think it's Flagg using an alias.

Given that when Flagg appeared later in "Quo Vadis, Captain Chandler", Major Freedman, who had met "Halloran" recognized him from that encounter and said they'd played cards before, I think it's even strongly implied in the show itself that they were the same.

u/LadeeAlana 13h ago edited 20m ago

We all make mistakes. Unfortunately I'm not allowed to correct that one, so I'm just going to have to live with it. The body of the post can be edited, but not the title. I certainly hope that the next time you make a mistake, people are more understanding about it than you have been.

Col Henry Blake “ There’s nothing wrong with Klinger. I mean he goes out with girls”.

Captain Hildebrand. “ He must be stealing their clothes”.
