or they planned it but they ask nevertheless so that it may feel they're listening to people's wishes from that poll/wb group. put a few suggestions together, one already planned and others not, then afterward it feels like you've made some recent requests come trueYep, finally confirmed officially. If Dallas on Bluray was planned in any way, they wouldn't ask.

They have influence. But they need to make that page public if they want more people to take notice. Or maybe they are happy with what they have.

They're strange. I don't think we're the target group of the current WB. They rarely publish anything about new older releases on official pages. That usually pops up in that group/podcasts or other non-WB pages, I mean pages about new BluRays in general.

Sue Ellen...rocking that killer white suit. The only problem I had with this scene was we'd seen it all before. JR and Sue Ellen separate. He threatens John Ross is not to be removed from Southfork. Sue Ellen wins Court battle...only for JR to manoeuvre his way back into Sue Ellen's life and she ends up back at Southfork. Is it just me or this scene lacks spark that Larry and Linda usually display.

I was actually okay with the concept of Sue Ellen's movie, had it been better executed. They should have had her option the film rights to Valene's "Capricorn Crude" (if anybody on DALLAS had actually remembered that).
It's been suggested that Sue Ellen should have mobilized a kidnapping plot to whisk John Ross away from JR by Spring of 1989. Which seems inspired and gutsy. But the same person who recommended that also pointed out that the entire point of the DALLAS narrative seemed to be that everything that happened could also be undone.
Think about it. It's true. That pattern repeats itself endlessly throughout DALLAS. And not just the shootings and the plane crashes.
Perhaps that's why Season 10 (per DVD count) is almost the epicenter of DALLAS, and represents everything DALLAS was all about: you had the deaths of the patriarch and the favorite son reversed back-to-back, both done in Shakespearean style, a la Hamlet and a la a dream.
Now, is that kind of repetition and constant un-doing of previous deaths and disasters really necessary in order for DALLAS to be DALLAS? Probably yes, and probably no... Some of them worked beautifully, while some of them were tired, abject failures.
The show's creative growth was stultified in the last half of its run, so it's harder to justify those repetitious undoings as the program wore on than it is those from the earlier period of the series... Earlier on, this pattern of repetition and undoing felt frankly Biblical, as if the Ewings were imprisoned in their own karmic vortex from which they couldn't escape, a "great big morality play" as Susan Howard once described it... Later on, however, it just felt like lazy writing.

Oh come now, wasn't that what JR and Sue Ellen were all about?
With regards to their spark; through my fanatical eyes I love their back and forth relationship, but through my honest eyes I guess it all became somewhat repetative.
Linda often said if an actor becomes bored with their role it would show to the audience, maybe that's what some viewers like yourself see. As we know it wasn't too much later she left. :eyes:

You’re absolutely right. It was played with absolutely no meaning. Sue Ellen didn’t care anymore so why should we. Biggest mistake they made was splitting them up this time.

I've never paid close attention before but Sue Ellen sure has a lot of packages for someone who said she didn't really have anything to do and was just going to get out of the house. The shopping in Braddock must be good.

Much like a comic book, which in a sense I guess is what Dallas eventually became.

Well, truth be told, Larry Hagman has gone on record that he thought of DALLAS as a cartoon. So the notion that it was much like a comic book is really not far off.

She was probably thinking: "I wish I could help him with his own package..." :danc::danc::danc:

It depends how many bottles of vodka she's got secreted in the packages she's got!

She certainly helped unwrap his package soon after Rodeo, but alas after his accident she would have to go shopping elsewhere!

I feel like the gravitational pull in Braddock must be a bit less than in most places as those packages seemed to lack any heft as they fell. What was Sue Ellen buying there, boxed air?
