It really does. The above screen shots by Ray&Donna illustrates the greatness of this series. I refer of course to the images of Miss Ellie, Sue Ellen, Donna and Lucy congregating in the Southfork living room. The weight of what is to come from Jock's death plays heavily on Miss Ellie. Sue Ellen - ever the dutiful wife - sits quietly holding her coffee or tea when it appears she is eyeing off the liquor trolley. There is an air of jealousy on her part towards Lucy as she so casually opens a bottle of wine. And then there is Donna. Of all the Ewing women Donna (I believe) had the closest bond with Miss Ellie. Donna is deep within her thoughts on how this will effect Ray.
But lets not forget another character in this series of screen shots...the Southfork interior. The living room, foyer and dining room is on full display. The depth of field used is beautiful.
So yes...original DALLAS rocks
