Half the Battle!
#29 — Girls Can Be Cruel
In the episode that this was based on, “Spell of the Siren,” all of the men were mesmerized by the Baroness’s magic conch shell. However, there was a quick scene that revealed that some of the guys (I believe it was Rip Cord, Wild Bill and Recondo) were not on base when the Baroness’s attack happened, and were thus unaffected. In retrospect, this scene was totally pointless, since they didn’t do anything for the rest of the episode, but when I was a kid, I misunderstood what happened, and thought they had magic powers and were able to resist the shell. If I had seen it a few years later, I probably would have thought exactly what the ladies were saying now…
Now you know…
