Jack Lord is in charge of laying a phone line from headquarters to an outpost. The wire is on spools that it is mentioned contain 440 yards (1/4 mile) of wire. So of course they frequently empty the spool and have to splice in the next one. And where do these spools come from? Nobody is seen to be carrying extras, and they don't have a cart or anything else loaded with wire. Yet every time one spool runs out...POOF! Another magically appears! HAHAHAHA.

I never liked Jack Lord, and to be honest he is pretty much a jerk through most of this episode. At one point I thought Sgt. Saunders might belt him. I wish he had!
