[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 314059, member: 57984"] Of all the prominent female characters who were most neglected, it was Miss Ellie -- from start to finish. She never really came into her own, unlike the others... I'm amazed Katzman allowed her to tell off the cartel in 1981, and he probably regretted it as much as he did killing April (good riddance) in Paris. Miss Ellie was the secret star of DALLAS. But they used her less, instead of more, as the program aged. I wanted to like the range war plotline, but it didn't really make any sense, especially the way it played out. And Katzman probably just wanted to reproduce the dam explosion he saw on THE YELLOW ROSE so he could use it in the next season's opening theme. Carter McKay also served little effective purpose, and he was only handed the reins of Westar because Jeremy Wendell asked for a raise when Lorimar-Telepictures was cutting back. Frankly, I wanted to find out that Miss Ellie was against Section 40 being opened for drilling for the same reason she dragged her feet in calling in the authorities during the range war: because there's something buried out there that only Miss Ellie and Jock knew about --- and Wes Parmalee, who whispered something about it in Ellie's ear right before he skipped town during that Ewing barbecue.
