Message: <blockquote data-quote="stevew" data-source="post: 212007" data-attributes="member: 130">Thank you for the information.  Yes I think Rebecca was a strong person and I also think a person can be strong and live a healthy life dealing with mental illness.  That’s why I thought it was an opportunity to explore such that TNT missed.  I’d have to do more research on the topic but I think there’s something there which could have been epic. Thanks for all the feed back.  I agree with you 100% that John and Pamela love each other much like JR and Sue Ellen did - but it’s was complicated and there were many reasons they (both couples) didn’t trust each other’s love, going back to the start of each relationship.  Though the truth is they do love each other, that was evident.   I do like the business stuff.  It’s my understanding, as you note, that Barnes Global took over Ewing Energies and so Bobby, Sue Ellen (from Elena), Christopher, Pamela (from Christopher) and John Ross lost everything.  So a renamed Barnes Global - Ewing Global - owns it all and in turn is owned by Cliff, Pamela (from Katherine given time her by her father) and Chris (from Pam’s supposed death).  With Cliff out of the way, they take the company public and those three become minority share holders to Bobby and Sue Ellen, eventually.  They never say the percentage each holds so we’re left to guess.  I think a good guess (with your change in who owns what) would be:10% Pamela (from Cliff’s death)10% Josephine (from Katherine’s death)10% Pam (retuned from Chris)35% Bobby35% Sue EllenI like that breakdown because Bobby and Sue Ellen control the company but if they disagree any two others could side with one of them and actually have a majority vote. Just an idea, but if JR wasn’t really broke and he arranged for Carlos to manage his money, Carlos could have made the loan to Sue Ellen and Bobby, and Carlos could call in that loan, leaving Sue Ellen and Bobby scrabbling to pay off what they can and JR’s estate taking what they can’t - which certainly would be classic JR.  Leaving the new balance of power:10% Pamela (from Cliff)10% Josephine (from Katherine)10% Pam (retuned from Chris)20% Bobby20% Sue Ellen30% John Ross (from JR) - with his wife and sister they’d have 50% and one day from his mother he’d have 50% on his own.  Now that’s JR Ewing.  Sounds like the real life Koch family as well, especially if Carlos got a piece for himself (Marshall having 16% of Koch Industries). Wow: Ewing Global = Wentworth Industries (Wentworth Tool and Die), Barnes Wentworth Oil (Ewing Oil), Ewing Energies (Ewing Alternative) - and an assortment of other businesses.  Still a very impressive privately held conglomerate.  Will they get the middle eastern oil deal JR set up?  Will they get Ryland Transport JR sent John Ross after?  What will John Ross do with all those CIA contacts?  Where does Christopher fit into a company he was squeezed out of?  What’s Pamela’s role?</blockquote>
