First caps from "So Shall Ye Reap". Donna tells Miss Ellie that she is leaving Southfork to move to Turtle Creek, because her marriage is over.

Great photos Tommie. :)

Also I've just asked this question in the JR/SE and Bobby/Pam threads but since Donna & Ray are the third great couple to ship from the show I figured I'd ask it here too:

So what is it about Donna & Ray that makes them so great to watch?
Why do you ship them? (if you do)

For me I think it's that this couple have this opposites attract thing going for them. On the surface they are very different, she's a lady, he's a cowboy. But if you look a bit underneath the surface they are more compatible than one might think. They have both lost their parents at an early age, they both want the same things in life, they truly enjoy each other's company and they love each other. Another thing about this couple that is great is that they seem so down to earth and we often see them doing everyday things such as washing the dishes or riding the ranch and such.

I found them to be a very relatable couple. As their first meeting indicates, they were both outsiders in the worlds in which they inhabited: Donna was intelligent and sophisticated, but came from humble roots and projected a great warmth onscreen. Ray was earnest and intelligent but deeply flawed and never felt like he fit in anywhere--but then he and Donna worked together so perfectly, and had such strong chemistry, that it was hard for any other couple to engage me in a similar manner! :)

I love all these caps.

The one of Ray sitting all alone in his fancy living room is so incredibly sad. Such a long way from his little house with the messy KREBBS painted on the mailbox.

I wonder if he had a dog if he wouldn't have been so lonely and desperate he let Jenna move in? Ray needs a dog.

Remember his dog in the miniseries? I think they said it belonged to the original ranch, so the poor thing just vanished without a trace when season one came along. :p

Wearing the adoption lady glasses of season eight, Donna is working in her office when Ray arrives, demanding to know where she and the baby are going to live after the divorce. She tells him they're moving to Boerne and not to bother her again.

I always envisaged if Ray never left he would rescue a dog from its abusive owner and call it Tyson

Both Donna and Ray look amazing (although I remove her huge eye glasses in my imagination to fully enjoy her natural beauty)! :)

Even though Ray looks great in the blue suit with short hair style, I think that I might prefer him with a bit of bushy, curly hair ... wearing a plain shirt and a pair of jeans! :)

Thanks for sharing with us! :best:
