Season 11 (12 DVD) Untangling and unravelling a messy season

[the-lost-son]

My re-watch is over, I cannot go beyond season 11 now.

I can fully understand that. When I watched these last season so many years I had the hope that things might return to glory (pre Internet). But today - knowing that the show's quality plummeting till the bitter end. it feels depressing.

I don’t think I’ve watched a show before, however, where the quality drops like a stone the way it did after ‘Fall of The House of Ewing.’

Spot on.

You made the right call to stop. There are plenty alternatives out where.

I pity those poor clerks at WarnerBrothers who have to sit through every single episode during their hard-earned remastering and not have the luxury to simply turn it off.

Seasons 12-14 were mediocre at best.

I think I like Conundrum more than most, it might have been a good miniseries (5-6 episodes) with some more material
Just some ideas:
Donna is a major power player in Washington. She hires Bobby in a capacity similar to Jock's use of him
in early Ewing Oil (Booze, Broads, etc.), and a major scandal ensues.
Ray, as an everyman type performs a heroic act and becomes a media star, runs for office and becomes involved with Donna.
Jeremy Wendell as head of Westar, has unlimited power, acquires more and more power, and along with Jason Ewing
plots to bring down President Cliff Barnes, who is a man of integrity without JR to oppose him
Cliff appoints lawyer Gary Ewing as Attorney General, and they battle with Jeremy/Jason
Jack Ewing/April are grifters
Jamie Ewing builds an oil company with a previously unknown Digger Barnes Son
Rebecca Wentworth becomes the most powerful CEO in the Country,
with Katherine as the Heir apparent, and Katherine builds a media empire

Events come to a head, and the absence of JR leads to a catastrophe

And then what does JR decide?

He decides to move to Denver, kick Blake Carrington out of Fivoli and take the mansion for himself.

Unfortunately his plans fall flat when Dynasty gets cancelled!!
