Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lastkidpicked" data-source="post: 263443" data-attributes="member: 237">Very interesting posts!One problem is that the later years seemed like a run of the mill daily soap opera, and the production values reflected this.  Here are two examples:Look at this picture, and how carefully they blocked the scene.  Digger is hunched over and physically shrinking.  As if the weight of the world is holding him down.  Compare this to Jock.  He is standing straight up and tall, daring the world to come at him.And look at the trees behind them.  Are they dead or just dormant?  Is this the end of an era or the beginning of a new one?If you didn't know anything about the show, you could infer a lot about the characters just from this picture.[ATTACH=full]26046[/ATTACH]You can almost feel the breeze.  You can almost smell the Texas air.  The scene just feels REAL.Now, compare it to a picture from the later seasons.  Everything seems so fake.  Pretty, but fake.[ATTACH=full]26047[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
