[QUOTE="Michael Torrance, post: 113559, member: 719"] A few thoughts about the last three episodes(which I watched), and especially #17 : Posters here and reviewers on media like Liam and they have mentioned all sorts of valid reasons except for the obvious one: he functions as Krystle did in the original DYNASTY, the outsider through whom the audience sees the action--for instance his reaction at Fallon slapping Steven. That will likely go away if/when his past is revealed and a more sinister dimension is shown. That function also reveals how badly this Cristal was conceived in peach Dynasty. Sheridan was good in the role they wrote, and the first half of the episode showed promise, but then they quickly cut her at the knees and got rid of the one fleshed-out character all in one swoop. However, the original Alexis, though likely also in bad finances as posters here noted, had her tongue and pedigree and sly wit as powerful weapons. I don't see this one with any ammunition. The frenemies relationship between Fallon and Cristal works. Ditto for finally creating some tension between the two siblings. Sam and Anders are very different from the original, almost 180 degrees different. It works for Sam, but I am not sure for Anders. I am also concerned that Sam may soon be irrelevant. The Colbys seem gone--and frankly, good riddance the way they were written, but the show just killed years of possible story in the process. I liked the speculation I saw that maybe Monique was Tom's, a mix of Monica and Dominique. But alas that was not meant to be. And how horrible to not have a Sable! I am more curious about the show than I was in the first few episodes when I stopped watching. I don't trust them based on their track record, but I will see how it goes week to week. [/QUOTE]
