Message: <blockquote data-quote="Miss Texas 1967" data-source="post: 194677" data-attributes="member: 36">I'll add to this that during the period with the voting shares and subsequent fight for Ewing Oil she couldn't have made her dislike of JR any clearer and while JR deserved to be told off for the way he treated people at times, it seemed like complete overkill to me at times. It was incredibly selfish of her to moan about Ewing Oil and everything it was doing to the family and how terrible it all was when the company and the behaviour of the men behind it was what had kept her in the lifestyle she'd grown up in, was continuing to allow her to draw a passive income from, and was what was important to both of her sons in a clear cut way, seeking Jock's respect. Miss Ellie after Jock's death became insufferable with the way she saw things related to Jock, the emotional reaction was grief, but certain actions came across as selfish and manipulative. Crying, throwing a fit about her sons doing exactly as their father intended and then threatening to sell Ewing Oil was all misdirected. She ended up leaving town, she should have just done that to begin with if it was that difficult to be around.As far as the original question goes, I can't think of clear examples other than Miss Ellie's caution about Pam in the minseries, but later on it was very clear that she wasn't all sweetness and light (nor was anyone else, it's not wrong).</blockquote>
