[QUOTE="Patrice, post: 356644, member: 54857"] Funny thing, I had this idea about starting a discussion about BTTCDS, I couldn't really find anything about it... I recall being so thrilled when I read about the miniseries being shot in some TV magazine... then it aired... what a disappointment! I think the storylines are a bit (a lot?) boring, but above all, what made the miniseries so uninteresting, I really think it is the directing from Bill Corcoran... It is soooo quiet, absolutely no sparks at all, soooo Sunday afternoon TV movie style, the kind of stuff you watch with one eye on something else on a rainy day... It is obvious even the cast does not believe in it, the only one that seems to enjoy her storyline is JVA... I remember reading an interview of William Devane on knotslanding.net, he thinks the entire thing was a mistake... Actually here's some extracts of it: "Devane: ... But Constance was really freaked out about it all. And that in turn ruined the reunion when she wouldn’t let her voice be used. What a disaster that movie was. ... AS: Is that why the reunion was bad then? Devane: Oh no, that’s only one of the things. It was written by someone who didn’t have anything to do with Knots Landing. They did a shitty job. If they had put their nose to the grindstone they could have done a movie like that every two or three years." "What a disaster that movie was + They did a shitty job"... I couldn't agree more...
