Gomer Pyle, USMC


11-00-19 "Gomer and the Dragon Lady"

Before Karate & Kung-Fu, Judo was the martial arts craze and like the others it enabled Females to battle men one-on-one on equal terms, but unlike the followers, Judo was innately Feminine, a defensive rather than aggressive maneuver that repels male energy and turns it back on him... "The Dragon Lady" obviously invokes the stereotype of the Asian Dominatrix and with her wearing an Asian dress to boot... That Hannah is actually Blonde and American-as-can-be Barbara Stuart is a bit incongruous, but clearly the producers were not going to allow red, white & blue blooded U.S. Marines lusting after and being beaten up by a real Asian WOman... And the episode is just about those 2 things: lust & violence... The men want Hannah, she doesn't want them, viciously tossing them about, and when she does concede to give a kiss to dopey Gomer, she is just as over-powering, launching the Gome into a hypnotic fugue... Ms. Stuart clearly made an impression on the producers, as they brought her back as a regular, "Bunny" -- Sgt. Carter's girlfriend... Not as an ersatz Asian she was more docile, falling into a Bimbo pattern that the name "Bunny" is bound to invoke...
