Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lastkidpicked" data-source="post: 385143" data-attributes="member: 237">This was a great season!  As [USER=22]@James from London[/USER]  has pointed out, the season was tightly written and every character moved the plot forward.Rebecca was an interesting character as she provided even more history for Cliff and Pam.  She also was able to add another layer in the contest for Ewing Oil.It was a bold move by the writers to have people actually dying over the battle for Ewing Oil.For some people, such as Walt Driscol, there was no gray area at all.  He was minding his own business and was sucked into the Ewing Oil vortex and died as a direct result.Others, such as Rebecca Wentworth were a step removed.  Her death opens a new question:  Where do you draw the line between people who died because of the contest for Ewing Oil and how many people died in the same period, not directly related?  It's this ambiguity that allows each character to inject their own perspective.  It opens the door for J.R. to share the blame with Ray and Bobby when he says,"None of us have clean hands, boys."Brilliant.</blockquote>
