[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 89582, member: 8"] It looks like the writers are having a ball with the references to OldDynasty. "Make sure there's plenty of Ostatrova" - the kind of caviar Dominique never ate. Incidentally, it should be [I]Osetrova[/I], but since Dynasty had its own Moldavia, why not its own caviar? So, apparently they've watched the show. OK, I get it now. Personally, I prefer a "mistake", like the Cattle Baron's Ball, because, you know, [I]"she didn't even watch Dallas!"[/I] But it [I]felt[/I] like Dallas, and that's more important than churning out all kinds of trivia. I'm particularly interested in Blake and Jeff's falling-out, but it could have a little more "meat". Obviously Blake feels betrayed, but I want him to feel [I]very[/I] betrayed, if they want me to buy into that feud. The push & punch looked whimsical, just one collective gasp from the other guests and that was it. Where is that Carrington hatred, and the violence? "Get out of my house!". He said it again. And that has to be the funniest (but probably unintentional) reference to OldDynasty, because Blake and Alexis said it all the time. Loved Cristal's big curly hairdo, she should keep it that way. I actually liked the father/children "love fest" scenes, I don't think it looked very sappy and for a few moments they didn't act like a bunch of strangers living in the same house. "All I need is my Carrington blood to conquer the world". And that's how you put the Carrington name back on the map. One of her better scenes imo, she's too loud and hyper most of the times. The 80s party soundtrack was a bit random, they could have played with that to emphasize...something. My choice would have been "Relax" by FGTH. Or the SINS intro song "It's Hard To Be Tender" by Carly Simon. [/QUOTE]
