I’ve started watching DVD season 4 and I’ve noticed a few things that I hadn’t before.
Firstly, at the end of the third episode (Nightmare), when the detective comes to Southfork to say that the only prints on the gun are Jock’s and Sue Ellen’s, Sue Ellen is wearing a brown blouse and trousers. I’m assuming that she was arrested immediately, even though we don’t see it, but when she arrives at the police station at the start of the next episode, she’s wearing the black and white suit, and a different bracelet, as well as the necklace she had on before. So I’m wondering why would she bother getting changed and made up so nicely just to be put in a cell, and probably knowing she'd have to take off her jewellery. And would the cop have even let her go to change and not be concerned about her trying to escape or maybe killing herself to avoid arrest?
Also, we see in the flashback that Kristin was wearing a glove to hold the gun when she shot JR, but the next morning when she took the gun out of Sue Ellen’s handbag and hid the gun in the closet she isn’t wearing gloves. She is holding the gun lightly between her thumb and one finger, but shouldn’t even that have left some prints?
Finally, we keep hearing that to help hide the identity of the culprit, several actors were filmed firing the gun. In TV shows when this is mentioned, they always show some of the clips from the gag reel with most of the actors pulling the trigger and shouting “Take that”, which couldn’t possibly be taken seriously as alternatives as they don’t match what was seen and heard in the real shooting. So I’d like to know for sure if any REAL scenes were filmed with someone other than Kristin firing the gun, or is that just another myth and all there ever was were these gags?
By the way, I’m really enjoying these episodes, not having seen most of them since about 1993, and a few not seen since 1980.
Thanks
