[QUOTE="Kenny Coyote, post: 229502, member: 102"] I think that was terrible judgement on the part of the creative team. They said he had the same injuries as Jock but couldn't be bothered to at least have the guy have some scars that would indicate he'd been in that type of an accident. Not only did the accident not cripple him, he didn't even need a cane, or walk with a limp. He actually appeared rejuvenated from the experience! He was physically fit enough to be the foreman of the ranch! A show can tell you he passed the lie detector, his x-rays match up and all the rest but there is one crucial thing they cannot do: They cannot present a man who looked nothing like Jim Davis and expect you to believe he could be Jock. They can make up all the stories they want but these eyes don't lie. One look at him told me he couldn't possibly be Jock. It wasn't a recast as in the case of Donna Reed where the audience is supposed to overlook that she looks different. Here the whole story hinged on did he look like he could be Jock? Absolutely not. I thought it was an insult to the intelligence of the audience. Doing something like that so soon after such a bad move as saying the whole last season didn't happen and Bobby was alive just compounded the problem. Believability had been thrown out the window and the ratings between season 10 and season 11 indicated that there were plenty of people who had decided things had been taken so far that it just wasn't a credible show anymore.
