[QUOTE="Rove, post: 266789, member: 100"] I can see why many had issues with the story back then but whenever I re-watch this season I've come to appreciate the story. Was it stunt casting? You bet. But this season showed the talents of Linda Gray as Sue Ellen and all her frailties including her penchant for sex. Did any others series at the time slap viewers with the knowledge that women do? Sue Ellen was the Samantha Jones of her era. If her estranged husband was not good enough she sure as hell was going to find it somewhere...even if its ogling shirtless young men in the park. I've noted many women take issue with the story. As a late teenager myself when watching this season of [I]Dallas [/I]for the first time I was fascinated by the concept of getting in on with a woman with experience. I think that's where most miss the point. Here is a young man, sweet and innocent, full of testosterone wanting to explore something with a woman [I]he[/I] has a connection with. Sue Ellen might be reluctant since she is the adult but her natural urges take over and this is what I loved about her and showed her in another light. By the way. This whole season was one of the best and showed the magnificent bastard at his very best. When I watch the scene between JR, Sue Ellen and Peter at the restaurant and Sue Ellen comes to the slow realization that JR knows of their relationship...well...let's just revisit it shall we...and it starts around the 1:10 mark.
