Message: <blockquote data-quote="Frankenstein Underworld" data-source="post: 141658" data-attributes="member: 35">There were several missed opportunities where they could have tapped into the history of the original series.  One of the most obvious examples would have been finding out Ann Ewing had previously had a one night stand with Cliff.  It would have been a nice homage since Brenda Strong played both characters.  Mama Ryland basically said Ann was a whore in her younger days who ran around on Harris with different men, so it wouldn't have been far fetched.  Another angle involving the Rylands would be finding out that Harris had been driving the tanker that Pam crashed into.  I believe Snarky suggested the idea years ago.  The storyline was practically built into the show with Harris owning his own fleet of tankers and all.I find it interesting that the new show's biggest fans tend to scoff at such suggestions.  It was sold as a continuation of Dallas, yet they seem to think it was more appropriate to take the show in crazy directions that had nothing to do with the original.  There's something subversive about them in that they love everything about the new show that the rest of us despise.</blockquote>
