[QUOTE="Presea, post: 80066, member: 24"] It was really nice to see JR, Sue Ellen, Bobby, and Pam getting along so well. None of those "couple competitions" from the show or any snide remarks or taunting from either side. I really like that you made a reference to Kristin in the story Sue Ellen told here. She is one of my favorites. The whole thing with Gopher was pretty funny! Once again, Sue Ellen (and JR) is simply choosing to dwell on the glory days from years and years ago, and has already forgotten just how how screwed up their marriage really was. I honestly think that Dallas glamorized domestic violence with Sue Ellen and JR's relationship. It is really disturbing to me how many fans (although I'm not saying that they don't see it both ways, too) seem to think that these two had some great epic love story and are "eternal partners", when JR did things more than once to her that actually have a place on the Power and Control Wheel. Not to mention the cheating and multiple divorces. That is why I wish for you to create a realistic reconciliation with lots of discussion and problem solving. I get that you want to provide fanservice with an easy, fluff-filled reunion, but I also think that a lot of people would appreciate my idea, too.
