Or maybe using a "Stargate"...?I would suggest how to drive a Mercedes SL450 into a truck, get badly burned and have a certain Emperor rebuild you into a cyborg. :tv1:
One can even experience Pam's time healing in a bacta tank.

I sure do enjoy the good ideas on these boards.
Was just standing on the sidelines on this thread, because I didn't want to be a downer by coming in here and stating what I was thinking:
There is no way to do Dallas today. Back then J.R. could snooker Cliff Barnes with fake geology reports. Today, Cliff could simply Google the information he needed.
Also, J.R. relied on miscommunication to carry out his schemes. A well placed call here, a fake letter sent there. He couldn't do that today. Simply grabbing a cell phone and placing a few calls would expose his schemes.
To put a finer point on it-- We had fun watching over J.R's shoulder as he wheeled and dealed, knowing that the others were in the dark, or going on false information planted by J.R. Which he couldn't do today with everyone having access to cell phones and the internet.
And then along you all come with a great idea:
Perfect! Going back in time to the post war years. That could really work.

This is an amazing concept. Seeing the Ewings in Dallas and explaining the journey as to how they arrived there.

It wasn't Disney who did episodes 1-3 which were dreadful.
The best moves in the franchise is Rogue One, in my opinion. Plus the series on Disney Plus are all great.
But Dallas is a drama and sadly I think reboots which are mostly remembered by the 50 plus age groups are going to become less and less viable.
Did it really have any impact that Dynasty was a reboot? I don't think it would have made any difference at all if it was called Rich Kids and had no connection to the original.
Of course the whole original concept of Dallas - Romeo and Juliette, Westside Story etc, still works. But does it have any benefit being a reboot?
It becomes less and less important as times goes on in regards to the brand of Dallas attracting an audience. It struggled 10 years ago.

Episodes 1 and 2 were not good. Episode 3 was much better. Rogue One was great. I’d put it on par with Return of the Jedi. but Empire Strikes Back and A New Hope are the holy grail of Star Wars. But everybody has a right to their opinion.
Dallas could still work if it has good writers. It would definitely have to match up with today’s style. It can’t be as campy or cartoony. Make it an HBO Max original. The legacy characters would make cameos here and there.

Yeah we should've had Wes turn round when he was at Ewing Oil with Bobby and JR and tell them:
"I am your Father!"
