[QUOTE="stevew, post: 173656, member: 130"] I’m sure the short answer is just to manufacture drama. JR wasn’t anyone’s favorite but Jock used him and Miss Ellie felt guilt about letting him go so young. That being said he hated everyone of them in someway even if he couldn’t admitted it. He was angry at them all, at the least. Why should he have to fight to control EO? Didn’t he do everything his father asked of him (think Gooper from Cat on a Hot Tin Roof). Why didn’t he get the house? His momma could have at least given JR the house if she was giving the ranch to Bobby. Didn’t he stay just like she asked? Why should he have to fight Bobby for EO? Bobby didn’t even like the oil business, he wanted to be a rancher. He just got in JR’s way because he could. Why should Miss Ellie call for Gary? Wasn’t it JR that always took care of everything and stood by her? I have no doubt if Miss Ellie wanted Ray run off he’d have done it, even if Jock said no. He’d have given anything to please his momma and she couldn’t even let him have the oil on a ranch his Grandaddy would have surely left him if he’d been older when he died. It’s not like he needed to destroy the land as in the movie Giant back in the 30’s. All this in his mind, he had to feel slighted. Bobby and Gary could marry trash and do what ever they wanted and JR had to marry the princess of Texas, create the world’s greatest oil company (without getting caught) and take care of his momma even when she didn’t have his back. Remember when she asked didn’t JR care about her happiness? I wanted him to say, “every bit as much as you care about my happiness” (I wanted to see this point play out in TNT for John Ross’s sister to tell Bobby she only cares about her brother’s happiness and if burning Southfork to the ground put a smile on his face she’d bring the gas can. If he wanted to sleep with every woman in Texas she’d line them up for STD testing. If he wanted Ewing Energies she hand it to him and no man, not ever her grandpa could make her fight her brother and if he got everything he wanted and was miserable for it, he’s hold him as he cried - the opposite of what JR got from his family). Do I get his hatred of Gary? He was a angry, horrible human being and I’m not sure what else his family expected. [/QUOTE]
