Season 11

[Chase Gioberti]

I’m just starting this season in my rewatch.

One thing I’ve never seen discussed on here…. The overuse of much too dramatic music used early in the season. I started noticing it at the start of season 8. It’s almost a parody.

 

[Chase Gioberti]

The music tends to drown out the dialogue. I don’t remember it being so dominant early in the series. There was always music but not this much.

 

[Mustard]

Music drowning out the dialogue is more 21st century.

Too much Christopher in this season.

Dallas had the worst child actors. Charlie should have learned from Olivia Cunningham, and Christopher and John Ross couldn’t even out act little Joseph Gioberti.

Oh, I though Omri Katz was a good little actor.

Little Joseph Gioberti was the cutest child in all of soapdom this side of Kwythsteeeeena.

Season 11 is dreadful. None of the regulars interact with each other. They all spend more time with guest actors.
sue Ellen should have been kindnapped, not April and Sue Ellen should have been shot by the stray bullet in the cliffhanger

But I love Joshua Harris as Christopher, he was a great little actor.

 

[Taylor Bennett Jr.]

there’s only one real Christopher!

 

[Monzo]

I can't remember any character who was introduced well in season 11. Every single one seemed too much when he/she first appeared. Some (Kimberly, Nicholas) improved as the season progressed, but it was important to be convincing in the first episodes, so viewers didn't keep turning off, but unfortunately that didn't work out.

I still don't get why Kimberly wasn't introduced as Jeremy's new wife. JR might as well have learned of her father's power at Weststar. With Jeremy, the fight for (Kimberly and) Weststar would have been far more interesting.

Yeah and it's this one!

I love my half brother so much, isn't he cute?

JR should have discovered early in the season that Pam's car crashed into one of his tankers doing oil business in the badlands -- illegal business, given the feds censure of Ewing Oil. And when Bobby finds out, two-thirds of the way through the season, he's given the ironic, inevitable task of running around trying to keep the secret to save the family from further recriminations.

I mean, it's just gotta happen.

Two more gripes about this season:

1. They should have just killed off Pam. The whole business of her leaving because of her accident was just so stupid.

2. The insufferable Kimberly Foster shows up in episode six as “Girl in bed with Nick”, lol. I’ll never understand why she got a promotion later.

I remember Foster in this scene. I am glad she was included.

So far, no one has mentioned the WORST part of this season..... Casey Denault! ugh!! Not cute, not smart, sleazy.... a waste of an opportunity

I don’t hate Casey yet. It’s been 35 years since I’ve watched this season so I don’t remember him too much. I hate him less than I hate Nicholas Pierce.

My favorite part of season 11 was when Sue Ellen brought JR down at Weststar. That was a powerful scene. I wish the writers had kept up the momentum after that, but up to this point Sue Ellen has had a great season. I liked that she didn't fall into JR's trap when she caught him in bed with Kimberly.

I also liked how Lucy came back and Christopher didn't recognize her. Apparently, he never looked at his grandmother's photo albums, which certainly contained photos of Lucy. Lucy's return gave hope for next season. While this hope wasn't fulfilled for me, I did like Lucy's attitude in Season 11.

I’m not that far into it but I remember that being a great scene.

I hate how Miss Ellie’s IQ seems to have dropped by a full standard deviation in this season.

Is season 11 Miss Ellie's worst season? Season 12 is an improvement (only for her) and I enjoyed her turn into Miss Marple in season 13.

c'è solo un vero Christopher!

Noooooooooo !

 

[Snarky Oracle!]

They should have waited a year before introducing Joshua Harris. I mean, I know the death of a parent makes a kid grow up real fast, but shifting from adorable little Eric Farlow to geriatric Harris in one episode was too much of a shock.

Victoria, as per usual, just got younger.
