[QUOTE="Toni, post: 228730, member: 82"] IMHO that last scene of the "Penultimate" episode showed what a big hypocrite JR actually was. I never believed for a second that he felt guilty for her falling off the wagon or for Mickey´s condition. He was selfish, self-absorbed and unapologetic. He´d be lynched in a network TV show today...but celebrated in the cable channels...
