Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rove" data-source="post: 389779" data-attributes="member: 100">I believe a continuation of Dallas - from TNT - is now a lost cause. They tried, they failed. The problem I have with a reboot is, will it commence in 1978 or today and still use the beautiful ranch that is Southfork. Of course a quick check of Google Earth and Southfork can no longer be considered a ranch so I think it looses it's magic. I suppose Southfork could still be used as the Ewing home but nix any idea of Ray the ranch foreman or mustering cattle. This is what I loved about Lorimer Dallas; that blend of Ewing Oil and Southfork Ranch and sometimes the blending of the two if it suited JR's needs. I would personally like to see a prequel of Dallas, going so far back as Jock & Jason as teenagers. We know so little about the origins of the Ewing family I believe there is a story or two worth telling. It could easily be set in the mid 1920's when Jock would be around 15.Yes. I can easily see the Ewing's boys roughing it in the oil fields, covered in grime, dirt, oil and smelling of body odour. I'd love to know more about their parents. Did they have other siblings?The Ewing family became famous around the world and yet we know very little about the origin name.</blockquote>
