Maybe it was too serious or maybe that was an idea that they never completely figured out how to present. How to do that without making JR look overly vulnerable. It was something they laid all the foundation for; they gave the background for what had happened. Miss Ellie had a favorite son and Jock had a favorite son. That left JR out in the cold and you can imagine how that could have affected him while he was growing up. I think JR became what he felt  he had to become.</p></blockquote><p></p>
