[QUOTE="stevew, post: 223269, member: 130"] I agree with much of this. It seemed to me in the writing she disliked the little boy. Maybe someone like him broke her heart, IDK. But she was determined to make him evil, a looser, hurt over and over again, a loner with no friends or those who were like Drew died off quick without a tear from him. At the same time she wrote a Chris as the kid who never losses, gets all the girls, as the eco-warrior (though I’m not sure gas is really the eco-friendly replacement to oil we’re looking for), close to his dad, and inheriting all things Ewing. He never did a bad thing in his life, the poor victim of others, his evil cousin, his selfish mom, his manipulative wife. Even his girlfriend was a victim, Sue Ellen wouldn’t just forgive the loan so she owned a piece of the company, JR stole from her dad so she was poor. The black and white nature of the story where events felt forced to enforce this picture instead of the natural flow of things was awful, in my opinion. I do feel the criticism of CC is harsh and if it’s driven from executive demands, then I agree unfair. But if it was her intention to wipe out the two movies and tell a story where the Ewing’s are just the world’s worst people and their victims are going to win, then I feel the criticism is justified. Starting off with her highbrow criticisms of the original doesn’t help her case. [/QUOTE]
