I've got mixed feelings about it: on one hand, I accept some of the repetition as a symptom of the Vortex of the Damned in which the Ewings reside -- the "great big morality play" that Susan Howard described DALLAS, "all these incredibly wealthy people with every advantage imaginable, constantly stabbing away at each other -- for nothing..." which would, logically involved repeating various catastrophes because the Ewings just never learn their lessons; yet some of the repetition could just get exasperating and, yes, lazy.I don't like Sue Ellen shooting J.R. in 1988 -- I want her to stab him, holding the glistening sharp instrument in sadistic glee as J.R. slides to the floor.They'd both earned it, after all.</blockquote>
