[QUOTE="Werewillie Oleson, post: 141967, member: 8"] I think he wanted to destroy the Ewings just because he could. Maybe I'm wrong but I thought it was the very root of this character. And I also remember that this sequel was advertised (for lack of a better word) as a grittier version of Dallas. But when I think of the classic soaps (and all those violent and over-the-top storylines) I'm not sure if I agree with [I]that[/I]. You can't expect Bobby and Sue Ellen to do every storyline. And all the new characters were relevant to John Ross and Christopher and this was their story. And then I think of Jock and Ray and those cattle auctions...I found it deliciously "Texas". You can't be serious. It's our instinct to protect the children, it's designed by nature to secure continuation (even the continuation of Dallas!) Of course that doesn't mean we're not allowed to show gratitude, but it doesn't deserve a medal (unless you're saving someone else's child, I guess). They forgave or tolerated him so he could screw them over in the next episode. Karen MacKenzie called, she wants her rose-coloured glasses back. I'm not saying that he was more complex than on O.Dallas, but I found his relationship with the old and grown-up Ewings fascinating to watch. The essence of these characters and their story arcs was beautifully done - and I really mean that - so I totally absolutely 100% disagree with the statement that this was a caricature. [/QUOTE]
