[QUOTE="Mustard, post: 346196, member: 46"] I was on Miss Ellie's side about Jock's will. Even J.R. agreed in the end, once Rebecca was dead and Cliff would be left with one third of the Barnes-Wentworth fortune. The Battle for Ewing Oil had disastrous consequences for the Ewing family. Good for us as viewers, of course. I tended to be on J.R.'s side most during the Battle for Ewing Oil. The variance for cheap gas while the oil community goes nuts at him, the Cuban oil shipments etc. They all knew that J.R. was in a battle for profits over a period of 1 year or he wouldn't control Ewing Oil, so why act so outraged that he wasn't thinking in terms of 5-10 years down the line? Punk Anderson even threatened him in sinister terms. An irony is that it was Bobby who gave J.R. the idea about shipping oil to an embargoed country. Agreed. My philosophy is always ask whether you could have done better yourself first, before getting on a moral highground in attacking someone else. In some ways, J.R. would be a great family member, or even acquaintance, in being someone who would tell you the truth as he sees it if you ask him the right questions. [/QUOTE]
