[QUOTE="Richard Channing, post: 174063, member: 10"] I'm not speaking on behalf of the other posters, it's just based on my observations on what seems to be the general consensus around here. As I said on another thread when we voted for our favorite villain on the Soapland battles thread JR won with a landslide victory. So yes, that does lead me to believe that the majority of members see him as a villain. Especially as you're the only one I ever hear saying that he's not. As for your question about who are the heroes on Dallas, again it all boils down to this black and white view you have that everyone has to be either a hero or a villain and the audience roots for the heroes and are against the villain. That may be true of cowboys and Indians in Western movies, which you seem to think Dallas is, but (thankfully) Dallas is an ensemble of complex, multilayered characters, each with their own flaws and motivations. And the audience is free to root for whomever they choose. But clearly JR is [I]your[/I] hero, and that's ok. [/QUOTE]
