[QUOTE="Spooky Owl!, post: 366438, member: 57984"] I also always tended to view DALLAS as Old Testament and DYNASTY as New Testament. DALLAS had heroic figures, but no [I]savior [/I]per se. DYNASTY had a savior: Krystle (even her name was "Christ-le"), who loved and suffered and was used as a doormat and resented and, ultimately, crucified. Alexis the bitchy lovechild of Herod and Salome. Bad metaphors? Maybe. But DALLAS, like the Old Testament, was the[I] don't-let-this-happen-to-you[/I] generational epic story, with nuggets of eternal wisdom offered along the way, the villains fully in control. While DYNASTY aspired to be a New Testament tale of salvation and redemption, mostly through the sacrifice of Krystle, she bravely enduring the Torments of the Damned so you don't have to... No wonder so many hated her.
