Can’t say I blame Nick but how do you cancel the poker game with only 15 minutes to spare? Surely the guys already had to be on their way and there were no cell phones.

Washed-out and lightened isn't an improvement -- as the scene between JR and Kristin proves... I wany my shadows! Don't remove them!

I think the real eye opener would be a comparison between versions from the time, when they switched to edit on video.

OMG -- that was unbelievably bad! As I've said multiple times before, the Season 10 DVDs were tons better -- imperfect though they obviously were.

Sue Ellen looks so overly dressed at breakfast it's almost distracting.
It's funny too that the writers acknowledge Christopher/Sue Ellen's relationship and then proceed to basically forget the idea.
Gosh I love this show haha

Christopher really had a tough first handful of years when you think of it… his biological mom runs off and dies almost immediately, then his dad, days before dying himself, sells him to his dead mother’s sister’s on-and-off husband’s brother, who then dies and comes back to life, thus rendering the man who had become his stepfather for 12 hours or so, who himself had died and come back to life, to be dead again, with all this spurring Christopher himself to instantaneously age a few years, losing his curly hair and adorable pudginess just in time for his dead grandfather (whom his biological mother erroneously called her uncle) to possibly reappear, confusing his grandmother and infuriating his step-grandfather just months before his adopted mother nearly dies in a fiery accident, then hobbles or rolls or cartwheels somehow out of the hospital in a full body cast and abandons him altogether before possibly dying of cancer while married to some doctor not long after briefly turning into a different person but not a real estate agent.
Pretty rough.

I was just thinking the same thing after viewing the above video. It's one of the few times Dallas recognizes Sue Ellen is Christopher's biological aunt. How strange that the writers would forget their own history.
And Sue Ellen rocks THAT dress!
Which kind of fits David Jacob's concept of TNT Dallas. Christopher the bad guy and John Ross the good guy. This would have upended the whole continuation as many would expect John Ross to be a mirror his father and Christopher to Bobby. This would have made for an interesting story.

I guess she's not going back inside after breakfast, but drives straight to work thereafter.

Where would they have gone with that, though? They clearly wanted to keep them as separate families and if Sue Ellen got involved with raising him it would muddy the waters.

...but muddy the waters is what Dallas was about. I'm not suggesting Sue Ellen ingrain herself with Christopher during the 1978-1991 run as it would have been best to keep her distance so as not to confuse a young Christopher. However, it would have interesting to see her relationship with an older Christopher in TNT Dallas to the point of Christopher inquiring about her mother Kristin. Was this ever touched on?

In reality, the TNT Dallas series had explored the Christopher/Sue Ellen/Kristin issue, but it seems that those scenes were then cut away.

I do like David Jacobs' idea for TNT's nuDALLAS of John Ross being the "good" one and Christopher being the "bad" -- frustrating JR over the moral virtue of his son (which he views as impractical) and creating a bond between Uncle JR and his rascally nephew, Christopher, no one might have anticipated.
Perhaps JR even begins to wonder if Kristin really miscarried his baby...
The site manager once made the inspired suggestion of Vincent Kartheiser (from MAD MAN) as John Ross, and it's very believable that oldDALLAS' Omri Katz would grow in Kartheiser. And since I'd do anything to salvage Josh Henderson, maybe he could slip into (with a mild henna rinse) the adult role of squirrely semi-villain Christopher.
I didn't hate handsome Jesse Metcalfe, but I'm not sure his Christopher ever really worked.

actually, if the JR-as-actual-daddy thing didn't turn out to be the case I think Josh looked as much like Jeff Faraday as he did JR or Sue Ellen.. I could easily see him being the progeny of Kristin and Jeff.

all this neo-Christopher discussion has trying hard not to lament the absence of the great Eric Farlow and any mention of the dastardly Edison (not Jeff) Faraday (not Wyatt) Haynes in NuDallas!
