[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 440630, member: 57984"] Yes. DYNASTY could have used more of those group scenes (not simply Blake telling the group how it shall behave -- unlike JR at Southfork, who had more in common with Fallon attitudinally) but the Carringtons lacked the sense of discordant unity that the Ewings displayed. DYNASTY always seemed like a gaggle of attractive and technically well-cast actors who just happened to live in the same Hotel Carrington (I'm referring to the mansion, as there were multiple actual hotels) for whatever reason; they didn't seem all that much like a family, probably because of the writing where so many plotlines rarely ever overlapped or coalesced. (Quite unlike DALLAS). The lack of group conversations of DYNASTY didn't help. nuDALLAS was always better when they had group scenes, but they didn't do it enough, Southfork no longer feeling like the family hub. I was in a bar like that once. [/QUOTE]
