[QUOTE="Frankenstein Underworld, post: 157329, member: 35"] When writers only acknowledge part of a fictional story, they invite fans to do the same thing. Some fans treat the seasons after the dream as an alternate universe, much like Knots did. And as I said before, JR would have died eventually even without TNT's Dallas, while John Ross and Christopher were developing similar personalities in JRR. A sequel which [I]you[/I] found exciting. I feel about new Dallas the way you feel about CW Dynasty. I'm talking in terms of you saying "tough dilemma" when it comes to making the show exciting vs. making it appealing to original fans. Considering the ratings fell quicker than Jock Ewing's helicopter, I'd say the consensus among the majority is that she accomplished neither. But hey, that's how it goes. I've enjoyed short lived shows others thought were trash too. And as for her ignoring the reunion movies being "smart," it reinforces my original point that we can just as easily dismiss her show from the Dallasverse. I accept it in terms of existing. I don't accept it as part of the original show's universe. Ultimately, it was David Jacobs story that she and even Leonard Katzman ended up bastardizing. [/QUOTE]
