Message: <blockquote data-quote="JROG" data-source="post: 167873" data-attributes="member: 43">EPISODE 19: THREE HUNDREDI’m taking a moment to let it sink in: 300 episodes! Quite the accomplishment for a prime-time series. My DALLAS journey started in late 2004, so it’s taken slightly longer than the run of the actual series, but what a great journey it has been! Looking forward to the rest.As far as anniversary episodes go, this one somewhat disappoints. It’s the 300th episode, it’s even the title, but Miss Ellie, Clayton, Cliff, and Lucy all sit this one out. Instead, the focus is on J.R., Bobby, and all the newer people like April, Cally, and Tommy. Sorta says a lot about the direction things are going in, doesn’t it? I mean, Cliff gets nothing, but I’m sure glad we got to see Cally calling J.R.’s answering service. You’d think they could’ve done a little something with all these extremely important characters.Anyway – the episode is otherwise solid. I thought it was a very good idea to play the beat of Sue Ellen having second doubts about the movie because it’ll affect the members of the family that are not J.R. And, I’ll admit it, Tommy scaring the crap out of April was really great to watch; April's made us suffer for years, it’s good that someone’s doing it to her! That being said, Tommy, please get it together.Bobby and J.R. getting trapped in the elevator is a fun plot device. At this point, they had to find some way to get J.R. back to Ewing Oil. It’s clear where it was going from the very beginning, but at least the journey there was enjoyable. Bobby getting drunk and messing with J.R. was fun. Although his change of mind isn’t entirely believable, at this point you just want them to get it over with. Again, sorta sumps up the entire series.[USER=21]@Barbara Fan[/USER] [USER=42]@Ray&Donna[/USER] [USER=204]@Balena[/USER] [USER=10]@Richard Channing[/USER] [USER=82]@Toni[/USER] A couple more reviews, if you're interested! <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/msmile/misc/m0719.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":hat:" title="Hat    :hat:" data-shortname=":hat:" /></blockquote>
