[QUOTE="Grant Jennings, post: 89453, member: 746"] This is getting good, it's starting to become its own thing. I appreciate the references to the original series including the theme and the use of character names (Ellen and Iris) but the plotting is heading in a different direction - and I'm glad it is. I'm starting to like Cristal/Celia much more now, she's the character who is most different from the original and I think that's a good thing - better than becoming a Stepford wife. Fallon and Michael are the other characters I find most interesting. Grant Show's Blake is much less of a presence than John Forsythe was in the original at this point - though I realize the producers' intent is to focus more on the Fallon/Cristal rivalry - I would like him to come on a little more strongly. I hope that he goes back to being an asshole once he gets over the shock from being assaulted. The set looks damn good to me, hardly what I would expect from a CW series. In the pilot there were shots of an x-shaped nouveau riche abomination of a house but the past two episodes have featured a classic five-part Georgian style house which is a vast improvement and much more suited to Blake Carrington.
