Worst thing JR did to Sue-Ellen

[Taylor Bennett Jr.]

That's where Pam's neediness for a baby came in handy: it gave Sue Ellen something to smugly take away from her. So, in a strange way, Pam helped pull the family together.

I still think that scene where JR went off on Pam and her “non-traditional parentage” leading to a patented “righteously outraged Bobby slug to the gut” and peak-level “snarling Jock pulls his boys apart and shows who’s boss” was about the best scene in the entire series…

Pam pulling the family together and Jock trying to pry them apart?! He wasn’t even Takapa yet…

 

[Snarky Oracle!]

Gore Vidal one said, "People don't want love -- or even sex; they wanted power over other people."

That was undoubtedly true about JR. And once she emerged from the emotional gulch that was her marriage, it turned out to be true about Sue Ellen as well.
