[QUOTE="the-lost-son, post: 360734, member: 672"] One of my favorite moments of the show were when JR was plotting for revenge. When he stood on the balcony, you knew Peter was in big trouble. When he found out about Sly spying, it was a must watch to see how he intended to get back at Cliff. But on more than one occasion JR didn't get his revenge which was irrirating sometimes, especially when a storyline was closed and a character was leaving permanently who was "deserving" to get revenge but left with his head held high. 1. The pilot Gerald Kane who betrayed JR's responsibility to Pam for he wild goose chase. It would have emphasized JR's dark side if he sent some boys to Kane instead of only threatening him by phone. 2. Wes Parmalee. There are some interesting threads here about him being Jock nonetheless. But with Steve Forest gone, the storyline was closed and never revisited again. It was never spoken about nor insinuated that there was more to it than fraud. If they closed that storyline JR could have taken revenge on him, the old JR certainly would have. 3. Cally's brothers. JR got diminished a lot in the last years. It would have been an easy closure to buy Halleyville and to tear it down for the ordeal he was put through. 4. That bully in the sanatorium could have been threatened a bit more too though to close that storyline. 5. Matt Cantrall - JR should have driven him out of Dallas. It was a lowpoint of JR's credibility then he got punched by him in his office. I never understood the writers when Cantrell left with his head held high. Katzman once said " If you diminish JR, you diminish the series." So revenge was needed to keep him credible. Do you agree with my list? Are there any other instances when JR should have gotten his revenge but didn't? [/QUOTE]
