[QUOTE="Presea, post: 68993, member: 24"] Once again, JR is looking at only the past and what few good times he and Sue Ellen had instead of looking at how and why everything fell apart. The picnics and the swimming must have happened before the show, because I sure don't remember JR doing anything like that when I saw Dallas. Also, it was established that JR pretty much hates horseback during their second honeymoon in season 6 (dvd) when he couldn't be bothered to take a ride with Sue Ellen when she asked him, so I don't know how this happened now. But more than anything, if JR really thinks all of this is so wonderful, then why did he completely stop doing it for over ten years of their marriage and just spend most of his time at the office and "lovemaking" with about 50 billion other women who weren't Sue Ellen? That is what he needs to figure out. And Sue Ellen is not being very proactive about discussing these problems, either. It honestly just looks like Sue Ellen is just being passively pushed back into a relationship by JR, and that all transgressions will instantly be forgiven as soon as Don Dorkwood is dealt with and she is divorced. If you want me to believe in this JR/Sue Ellen thing, you're going to have to try a LOT harder than scenes like this, Karin. Sue Ellen was the victim in an abusive relationship with JR, so an easy fix is going to look incredibly unrealistic to me. Wow, Katherine's chapter sure ended fast, huh? Well, not really fast with all the hiatuses in it, but it seems odd that she barely had any scenes or a storyline that really went anywhere in her own chapter. [/QUOTE]
