[QUOTE="Rove, post: 289330, member: 100"] I might be wrong here but I believe that request came from higher up the food chain. The request was to ignore the reunion movies to tell her version of [I]Dallas[/I]. Such a strange thing to do. You see this is why quite a few series end up in the mess they do, executives sticking their collective noses into things they shouldn't. Let the creative types be creative. But by ignoring the reunion movies Cynthia set herself up for failure. Instead of starting her continuation with the Ewing story from 2012 she decided her continuation should begin from 1991. How else do we explain the utterly stupid storyline that Christopher was about to marry his cousin and had no idea? The Ramos kids grew up with the Ewing family. Cliff adopted some random kid off the street. Did Pam dream this? Choosing random ideas and forcing them into the original timeline and expecting long time fans to swallow the bitter pill was what let down her continuation...and there was no need for it. It wasn't like she had plenty of time to create a good solid story to begin with. In 2010 TNT had ordered a new continuation of [I]Dallas[/I]. It didn't appear on our screens until 2012. [/QUOTE]
