[QUOTE="Miss Texas 1967, post: 173710, member: 36"] Not a deep analysis, but JR didn't like sharing. Before Bobby married Pam and started working at the office he was out of town most of the time, then things changed and JR didn't like the intrusion on his territory. I feel he felt the same way about Gary in those episodes, he wasn't fond of having another brother around to encroach on his space. He liked to do whatever he wanted to do and having the attention off him did help with that, but the positive attention Gary and Bobby got for doing less than he did was irritating to him and he didn't like sitting back and just accepting that was how things were. He gave Gary a company that was doomed to fail because he could see far enough ahead that he wanted it to be "Gary's choice" to quit and leave town, not something he forced him to do. The same sort of went for when he was giving Bobby all the boring work in the miniseries, he was trying to make him want to go back to his old position but he knew telling Bobby to do just that would make Jock and Pam push harder in the other direction (which they did anyway).
