[QUOTE="stevew, post: 60540, member: 130"] I made a mistake. The first posting was two hours that should have been Episodes 1 and 2. Then the next would have been 3. Episode 4: As Time Goes By With the dramatic change with Bobby's death I'd use a tool seldom used in drama but often in sitcoms, the flash back episode. I'd start with Miss Ellie, Sue Ellen, Donna and Lucy all sitting around the back porch one evening reminiscing and use flash backs throughout. Then for a second hour I'd show the pilot to Lucy's new spin off show on which Miss Ellie and Clayton guest star. The following week this Spin off should have fit in Dallas's time slot and the fit into its regular time slot - just an idea. Episode 5: The Ewing and Barnes Feud Part 2 On a private jet Kathryn says to Jeremy, "I'm sure the Ewing's though their Feud with the Barnes was rather fun. And you and JR had your moments, but when I'm done with them, I'll have Ewing Oil and South Fork and JR in prison. And my brother as broken as Digger Barnes." "Who are these people we're meeting?"
