Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rove" data-source="post: 60203" data-attributes="member: 100">It was the rare time I liked the character Lucy. Mitch had principle's and as old fashioned as they were I appreciated where he was coming from. I assume he and Afton came from a working class family. Afton was immediately attracted to the money both JR and Cliff could offer. Mitch on the other hand was studying and working part-time. If Lucy was entering into the relationship she also had to compensate for Mitch's principles. Hell, I'm getting all Dr. Phil here. Killing off Mickey I thought was just another daft idea from the writers to justify the characters of Lucy, Ray and Donna. What a waste for future story-telling. A young kid suddenly exposed to the oil rich Ewing family. It would have been interesting to watch the outcome if Lucy and Mickey did marry. They could have moved into the tack house behind Southfork. I actually see Mickey working the ranch with Ray but I also see Mickey getting along with Bobby really well. Did they have any scenes together? It would also have been interesting to watch how Mickey related to Miss Ellie. Perhaps we learn Lucy is pregnant. It's a shame the writers didn't keep Mickey around long enough to embed himself to viewers. If the writers then decided to kill him off to further push the story along then his death would have been justified. Instead it appeared sometimes the writers were deliberately inserting characters at the beginning of a season to eventually have them knocked off for a season ending cliffhanger, anything to spare a Ewing I suppose. Come to think of it, I see the Ewing family as being cursed. Too much death for my liking. I'm outta here....</blockquote>
