[QUOTE="the-lost-son, post: 363722, member: 672"] Ewing Oil being run by the family and all these votings in the living room were a real treat to watch. It was a big mistake by Capice to end that structure by Pam selling out to JR. We can witness these consequences after Katzman in the following season committed the same mistake again by taking down EwingOil by the feds. Storylines then started to feel increasingly islated, especially MissEllie was lost when the producers no longer could throw her into the fights of Ewing Oil. What would have happened after the dream season with Capice on board? I assume he would have continued with the Dynasty-vibe of doing Dallas, so: - Ben Stivers would have turned out to be Jock without any much fuss about it. He would have taken back EwingOil, maybe starting a fight with Clayton whose refinery was in financial trouble by season's end. I assume JR would have stayed as president. - Cliff would have blamed JR (and Jack?) for Jamie's death. He would have used Barnes-Wentworth to get back at JR. - JR had dirt on Mark Grayson by season's end (classmate dead after highschool prank gone wrong etc.) which he intended to use against him. (That's why I doubt the often mentioned idea that Pam found Mark dead in the shower to close the season happened.) They obviously planted the seeds for Pam going after JR/joining Cliff in his revenge. It's really amazong that both Capice and Katzman got rid of one of the show's most iconic elements. It was so easy to fix. They did a great job writing in Donna when she sat in when Bobby was shot. They could have used Clayton in the same capacity as he didn't have anything to do either or new characters which were becoming increasingly difficult to introduce naturally. Last but not least the whole plot did not make sense: Pam was tasked to "administer" Bobby's shares till "Christopher reaches the age of consent", and not to sell it in less than a year. [/QUOTE]
