Message: <blockquote data-quote="Brian Carrington Colby" data-source="post: 338621" data-attributes="member: 136">I think for me, the one scene that really has some gravitas is the scene of "Joan" in full Alexis drag on her first day of shooting Season 2 walking from her dressing room through the studio sound stage towards the courtroom set. This scene is shot single camera point of view style in one continuous shot. While beset upon by various wardrobe and make-up people primping at her, Joan strides past them with a steely smile as the Dynasty theme swells. The speed of the action slows down as Joan makes her way and stops behind the courtroom set double doors, her eyes focused, her smile frozen.  As her veil and costume are adjusted one final time, the sounds of the crew and the Director on the other side of the doors indicate filming is about to commence. As the Director yells "Action" Joan turns towards the doors, her back now to us the audience. The theme song crescendos as Joan pushes the double doors open wide and in full Alexis mode strides into the courtroom set straight towards the camera and lights and crew facing the doorway. The doors swing shut. End of scene. A totally over the top dramatization of Joan walking onto the Dynasty set for the first time, and yet, if that is not how it happened, well, it is how it SHOULD of happened!!! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
