Message: <blockquote data-quote="Karin" data-source="post: 53170" data-attributes="member: 57167">Today it's Dallas birthday so I figured it would be a good idea to post some really early caps from the first JR/SE scene in episode three:[ATTACH=full]5725[/ATTACH]Sue Ellen has bought new lingerie. JR comes home from work[ATTACH=full]5724[/ATTACH]He seems to like what she's bought. But then he tells her it's not appropriate for his wife.[ATTACH=full]5723[/ATTACH]He goes to hit the showers and she calls him back.[ATTACH=full]5722[/ATTACH] He pushes her aside and heads for the shower. But she calls him back again.[ATTACH=full]5720[/ATTACH]"We are married," she reminds him.[ATTACH=full]5721[/ATTACH]He tells her the lingerie she bought was cheap.[ATTACH=full]5719[/ATTACH]They argue.[ATTACH=full]5718[/ATTACH]"But JR we never make love anymore!" She pleads with him.[ATTACH=full]5717[/ATTACH]"That tears it." He still brushes her off and leaves her crying.[ATTACH=full]5716[/ATTACH]I don't know why but somehow the complex relationship between JR & Sue Ellen and that wonderful chemistry that Larry & Linda had is all there to see in this scene. Somehow they can convey so much with just their facial expressions and there are so many layers already in their characters. It shifts from something that looks almost tender and loving to rejection and anger.There is something sexy about this scene and the fact that JR has a wife at home that throws himself at him and yet he is not interested in her speaks volumes about his character. He is patronizing, insulting and tries to control the situation. She is vulnerable, insecure and desperate for his love.The scene is also a nice contrast if you compare them to Bobby and Pam who are the happily newlywed couple at this time period. JR and Sue Ellen has already been married for I guess 8 years or something like that when the show begins and it's obvious that their marriage is already in trouble. Sue Ellen is not happy. She is more or less trapped in what might appear as a loveless marriage and yet there is something there. In some of the caps you can see that JR looks at her with interest, almost like he is conflicted between what he wants in a woman and what he thinks is appropriate behavior for a wife.So well that's my interpretation of this scene. What is yours?</blockquote>
