Crock, 11/9/25

Now, obviously part of the whole deal of Crock is that it takes what's objectively a pretty grim situation -- a remote outpost of an army engaged in a grinding colonial war that we know with the hindsight of history that they're going to lose -- and uses it as a setting for a mostly light-hearted and zany series of comical vignettes. Still, sometimes the grim seeps through more than others, and you gotta admit that "angry troops attempt to lynch their commanding officer, only for him to trick them into falling to their deaths in turn, leaving him alone to wander the desert" is one of those times.
