[QUOTE="Taylor Bennett Jr., post: 359921, member: 2740"] I never quite understood why Pam "controlling Christopher's shares" meant she had to be in the office every day. It wasn't a situation like the season where Bobby and JR were independently running their own half of the company. Did she have some kind of title like 'partner'? Was her main role there to make sure JR didn't figure out how to diminish the worth of Christopher's share by moving assets elsewhere, e.g. different companies like Petro State or whatever? Or else keep an eye on things so JR didn't do his typical "jeopardize Ewing Oil with some unnecessarily risky venture" thing that he did about every other year? I'm not sure how things would be structured at a private company like that, but would she have had the power to hire a proxy to essentially 'run her share' of the company? I've thought that Wendell's sidekick Dave Stratton might have been an intriguing choice for that - let's say he realized after years that he'd always be under Wendell's thumb and would never get a crack at the top spot. Pam could convince him to take on a new challenge at Ewing Oil. Also, he seemed to have a bit of a crush on Pam a few years earlier... let's say Mark Graison didn't magically reappear and there was both romantic tension with Pam and business conflicts with JR and Wendell. The actor playing Stratton wasn't 'eye candy' like Mark or Bobby, but maybe he had the acting chops to pull off a big role like that? [/QUOTE]
