Angelica's Bomb Briefcase

[Ray_Krebbs]

A thing I noticed recently is that there wasn't much time between her pulling the switch in back and detonation. It got me to thinking. Even if J.R. did not have have the cops listen in, chances are it would have detonated as Angelica headed to the elevator or as it descended, melting the wiring and causing the shaft to crash. Another thought is that the people who made the bomb intentionally shortened the time in an attempt to kill Angelica and overthrow her power at Marinos. Care to discuss

I posted in a similar thread that it was incredibly quick for Angelica to go down in elevator ‘1’, then JR quickly left in elevator ‘2’
Meanwhile Sue Ellen had got into elevator ‘1’ after Angelica had exited on the ground floor and made her way up to the Ewing office. All in the space of seconds

I'm guessing the bomb wasn't all that powerful. Had they not implemented The Dream, I would have had Sue Ellen with a bandage on the right side of her face for an episode and use the lazy explanation that the desk prevented her from being anymore injured than she was.

my typically-inane theory is that the bomb expert was so caught up in his obnoxious "I'm a villain" gum-chewing that he screwed up on the timing of the explosion

I wish someone had given a bomb briefcase to Jenna.

Nah. Sue Ellen was dead. She took the full force of the bomb blast. The bomb was powerful enough to totally destroy J.R.'s office at the very least., a room that Sue Ellen entered as the bomb exploded. She was as dead as Jamie in that car. They only shot the cliffhanger that way because they knew that they wouldn't be following up on it. If they were following up on it, I reckon the bomb would have exploded when Sue Ellen was still some way from J.R.'s office.

Pam would never have blown up her friend - even in a dream, and she was of course just waking up from one hell of a night's dreaming - this was just the denouement, the briefcase bomb episode was probably interrupted by Bobby getting out of bed to get in the shower.

Can't believe she dreamed up a jerk like Matt Cantrell..... And all that stuff about Donna's baby. She was in need of some serious therapy.

Yeah but they weren't about to kill Jenna off.

Her amazing ability to pout whilst sticking both her butt and her boobs out endeared her to millions of fans.

Jenna? Really??

Y'know, I'm all down for some recreational misogyny, as testing shows it can be good for your longevity. But, aside from the pouting, I never recall Jenna -- at least not Presley's Jenna -- sticking out either "her butt or her boobs," let alone both.

I mean, just who and what are you talking about??

The elevators at Ewing Oil had maybe been fitted with 23rd Century Federation technology! They must've had warp drive!

McSween pushed her downstairs instead of taking the elevator! That way it was free for Swellin!

There is a third possibility, they could've pushed her down the waste disposal chute!

Where waiting police would've escorted her to Braddock County Police Station.

Oh I´m sure she still kept her killing hatpin and got away with murdering the cops... Once a psycho-beech, always a...
