Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bobby Southworth" data-source="post: 366453" data-attributes="member: 4960"><p>So, after watching "Dove Hunt", I am continuing on with "The Lost Child". Was Patrick Duffy channeling some of Michael Landon's Charles Ingall's in this episode? The scenes with him and Luke, and Bobby's tears. Especially the end feels a lot like Little House On The Prairie. That said, I seem to recall this episode being regarded as corny by a lot of fans; myself included, but as I watch it now, I can't help but find it somewhat touching. Even the music, unique to this episode stirs me a bit. Part of it is how authentic the episode is with a lot of filming on the ranch, but more so, the loss of a dream for Bobby. Before finding out Pam shouldn't have anymore kids, Bobby tells Luke he'd like to have a boy and a girl. Then by the end, he finds out he most likely won't have either, and Luke runs to him for one last hug, as this new found reality sinks in for Bobby. This actually is very poignant. Dallas was so good during this time. I guess count me in as a cornball, but the 70's cinematic feel, the music, raw emotion, and the authenticity of the on-location shooting really work for me here,</p></blockquote><p></p>
