[QUOTE="Jock's Ghost, post: 254686, member: 1183"] S10. Ep 8 and still no marriage for Bobby and Pam. I misrembered. I thought it was episode 2 at least. The shows production design suffers. Too much light. No shadows and it looks cheap and porno - level. In the middle of Jocks ghost drama. It's the sole bright spot. Yet it makes no sense that Gary would not be informed of his father's possible return or Lucy. Everyone feels, OFF. Bobby is a goody two shoes Zombie. His return did nothing for the shows momentum. Ray is a boring good guy. Donna is a career woman. Sue Ellen is a little easy with the jokes and remarks. Stupid April has arrived.... ugh. The worst offense is to JR. His preoccupation with Mandy Winger is pathetic. A scene just watched has him going for a Soda drink. JR drinks soda pop? Nope. The shark is slowly dying. Cliff and Jamie do nothing but bicker. Cliffs anger towards the Ewings has been replaced with self-centeredness, buffoonery. Jenna and Charlie- why were they still on the show? Charlies drama is sickeningly contrived. The show tries too hard to keep her involved. Add her to the list of obstacle/plot characters that are never interesting or add anything to the storyline. Clayton Jack Mandy Jenna commuting suicide when Bobby was killed (and stayed dead) Charlie placed in the care of the Ewings would have worked much better. Another better idea than what we got. Ray and Donna keep getting mistreated. Give me the dream season any day.... The infuriating part is how well Jocks return was staged. Yet Bobbys return was not. his death was quite perfect. Let us all put to bed the notion Leonard Katzman saved DALLAS. He did NOTHING of the kind, quite opposite. Phillip Capice and Lee Rich shaped the show into its glorious good years. David Paulsen did his best to save it. His work on DYNASTY was much better utilized. [/QUOTE]
