[QUOTE="Frankenstein Underworld, post: 138878, member: 35"] To each their own. I didn't particularly care for it. Someone also mentioned Cliff being converted into a Bond villain willing to sacrifice his own daughter and grandchildren. I found that to be a stretch, to say the least. And Cynthia's reasoning was simply "we needed a villain after JR died." Well Cliff had been a villain to the Ewings on the original series, and was often a shit to Pam, but he never was a killer. I actually agree about Sue Ellen. She slipped into JR's role of blackmailing people like the governor. And her addiction storyline was handled well and was poignant in light of her past. I didn't want a retro look, but I wanted the themes and continuity from the original to be more fully developed. Instead, Cidre made new Dallas in the mold of other modern shows. If I want to see something completely retro, I'll watch Roseanne/The Conners. The new show literally looks like it was in a time capsule from the 90s. [/QUOTE]
