Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mustard" data-source="post: 4624" data-attributes="member: 46">I would say Jock Ewing was a great character. As a man, he had strong good, bad and ugly sides, all emphasized most in the brilliant episode "The Dove Hunt".That's down to the Gary issue. Miss Ellie loved Gary most and never abandoned hope that Gary would be back living at Southfork doing ranching and business work. Jock had long been scathing of Gary's character, his excessive drinking and his running away from responsibility, and now here was Jock announcing Ray as his son and being very generous towards Ray. Miss Ellie got angry by that, and used the Takapa dispute as a cover to voice her anger at Jock.</blockquote>
