This script was god awful.

This is about the fifth show in a row that did not have a good script. The situation was just not that interesting and the actors seemed to play too much for the cheap laugh. What we are left with is a story that did not seem to go any where nor does it entertain the viewers with a nice plot. It is like they have run out of scripts and anything someone shouts out makes it to production.

In this show Fuji has a toothache and needs to see a dentist. Well it just so happens that the dentist is visiting the base the next day and Parker will pose as a patient and try to get him some medicine for the pain. Instead the viewer is subject to some off-the-wall antics which got old very fast. And with Binghamton having an inspection of the medical facilities by an Admiral, it is not going to get any easier to watch.

Just did not get the story. It was about Fuji's toothache and regressed into a clumsy dentist and Binghamton running around behind the Admiral's back. And how Fuji finally got the relief he was seeking is something that defies the laws of logic. The series needs better scripts and this show was case of point.
