[QUOTE="cardiff1984, post: 132783, member: 217"] [ATTACH=full]12489[/ATTACH] [B][SIZE=6]9. The Evil Cliff Barnes Conspiracy Revealed (TNT New Dallas)[/SIZE] [/B] Cliff Barnes was arguably JR's Ewings Arch Nemesis. Some would often feel sorry for Cliff, from time to time, in the 14 season run of the original show, in which JR would knock Cliff down time and time again. Cliff however would show his cunning side, but would often be made to look a complete douchebag in the end and feel the wrath of lectures from his beloved sister, Pam, on numerous occasions. By the series end in 1991, Cliff did have some vengeance on JR - for 20 years at least. The Dallas reboot reintroduced Cliff, in a completely different perspective. In fact he was a shadow of his former self. To make matters worse, he turned into an evil, psychotic, sociopath. With disregard to anyone and or to the past tense, that should have been concluded in the 1987-88 season. In the original series, season 10 (season 11 DVD), Cliff finally accepted that Jock didn't cheat Digger out his share of the Oil, following a heart to heart with Ellie. The Barnes Ewing Feud was not as heated after that, until Cliff claimed Ewing Oil. But, now, for some unknown reason, Cliff now believes his father has still not been vindicated, nor has Cliff. But, Cliff not only sets his vengeful sights on JR, but Bobby and his adopted Nephew? Cliff even murdered his unborn grandchildren and for some conspired to steal Pam's money in helping build his new company. Some Dallas fans may have liked new Cliff, some may not, but what about the majority? Isn't it bizarre that Cliff suddenly became as psychotic as he did? Or was there a slight hint, when he killed Johnny Dancer in the Final Season in 1991? There are many possibilities that could have been revealed before TNT pulled the plug in 2014. [B]NEUROFIBROMATOSIS MADE CLIFF UNSTABLE. [/B] A possible plot revelation would have been Pamela Rebecca (Cliff's daughter) recieving his medical files. She at first is not interested, but is reluctant to accept his doctors findings. Rebecca is shocked to learn that tumours have excelled within Cliff's Nervous system and has for sometime, which explains why Cliff has hit the flip switch. It soon dawns on Rebecca that the Neurofibromatosis is not only turning him dangerous, but slowly killing him. It also makes her realize, that if she ever got the same symptoms, it could do some damage to her too. Rebecca seeks advice from Bobby, who is shocked by this and would not hold it against Rebecca to reconcile with her father. Rebecca does reconcile with Cliff, before he passes away, with regret of his actions. [B]CLIFF HAD A DOPPELGANGER[/B] The most farfetched of a revealing plot, behind the Mafia wannabe, is that Reboot Cliff, was not original Cliff. At some point prior to 2012, original Cliff could have been abducted or killed and replaced by a doppelganger, who has had surgery to replicate Cliff in order to attack the Ewing family. Who would be behind such an outlandish conspiracy? (that's another story). [B] JUST POWER OBSESSION[/B] Or Cliff is just all out evil. Maybe the power of running Ewing Oil since 1991, just wasn't enough. It got to his head so much, he toyed with the power and the people involved and it became so dangerous, that he lost all logic of what was right from wrong altogether in the worst way possible.
