[QUOTE="the-lost-son, post: 294058, member: 672"] Dallas was a sinking ship at that time and I fully understand the producer's decision to add new, younger faces. The writing was very bad at that time. I was annoyed by the character of James from the very beginning, I couldn't find anything that did not irritate me. It's hard to compare actors, but if you play the son of THE iconic TV character of the 80s, JR Ewing, these are big shoes to fill. Josh Henderson managed that (for me), Sasha Mitchell didn't. It was devastating when JR was "outsmarted" by James who locked him into the sanatorium. What a slap in the face of the loyal fan base. I watched Sasha Mitchell in Dallas and step by step. I did not take on this goofy surfer approach in his acting. Every Dallas TNT return of an old character was thrilling for me, but I'd never wasted a thought about him. Maybe I'm too harsh in my judgment, blaming these bad final seasons on him (and Michelle) but that's the way I feel. [/QUOTE]
