[QUOTE="Taylor Bennett Jr., post: 382804, member: 2740"] * note the following is just my 'headcanon' - just can't help myself from repeating it here ad nauseam * Jason was a contrivance to get Mr. Taj Mahal and Chrissy’s replacement from Three’s Company on the show. I guess also a convenient, if convoluted way for Cliff to get a chunk of Ewing Oil. He wasn't mentioned once in the first several seasons, and was barely mentioned at all after Jack and Jamie were disposed of by the producers. In my 'headcanon' there is no Jason! It’s just Jock and Digger all the way… [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/boLZl55.png[/IMG][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/u1io3vY.png[/IMG][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/FRZbDz5.png[/IMG][IMG]https://dallasdecoder.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/critique-dallas-episode-5-barbecue-11.jpg[/IMG] "Now tell me this, Barnes: just who in the *hell* was this Jason fella supposed to be?! my take is that JR had set the bar so low with his behavior that anything positive he does resembling what a ‘normal person’ would do is blown way out of proportion. case in point: a man shows concern over his comatose wife, even getting a bit teary-eyed: “love affair of the millennium!!!” He shows John Ross some occasional attention, even affection, but it’s mostly in the context of “this is my son and he’s gonna get Ewing Oil someday!” ..approaching being an adequate father, maybe. The “provides for his son” argument you hear sometimes doesn’t hold up… JR could have sat on his ass and given John Ross a very comfortable upbringing from his trust fund alone, and in fact risked squandering the family fortune entirely on more than one occasion.
