Line 134:
** In the last episode of Season 5, it is revealed that {{spoiler|Jack wants to nuke the island so he can get Kate back. He gets called out on it by Sawyer of all people.}} [[What the Hell, Hero?]] indeed. Again sort of undermined when Sawyer changes tack and aids Jack, as does everyone else. Given how things ended up he will rightfully be pissed, but by changing his mind with everyone else and aiding him he has not much ground to stand on.
* In ''[[Pushing Daisies]]'' episode ''Kerspslash'' Emerson Codd gets his [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] when he calls out Ned and Chuck for attempting to {{spoiler|ruin Lily and Vivian's comeback performance so they wouldn't tour in Europe}}.
* The ''[[MASH theM*A*S*H Series(television)|M* A* S* H]]'' episode "Fallen Idol" has Radar call Hawkeye out after the latter reports to surgery after getting drunk (due to his guilt over having urged Radar to visit a Seoul brothel on his R&R leave, leading to Radar getting wounded by mortar fire en route). This leads to a bitter, though temporary, falling-out between the two men.
** In the season 8 episode "Preventative Medicine", Hawkeye performs an unnecessary appendectomy on a battle-happy colonel to put him out of commission who is scheming of how to an unauthorized (and potentially high-casualty) offensive in direct defiance of his orders. B.J. furiously protests this, calling it "mutilation" and a violation of every tenet they're supposed to live by as doctors. This is an interesting parallel/contrast to previous wingman Trapper, who was only too happy to help Hawkeye [[Recycled Script|do the same thing]] in the season 3 episode "White Gold".
** On a lesser scale, you'd be surprised on how many times Hawkeye gets called for his self-righteousness and sanctimony. These two flaws are commonly attributed to [[Seasonal Rot]] but for one, this is early seasons as well, and for two, [[Fridge Brilliance|it might have been deliberate]].
