[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 441085, member: 57984"] In "defense" of DYNASTY -- which I'm well-known for -- Diahann Carroll requested that writers not mention Dominique's race, and simply script her the same way they would a successful white male. (I understand her reasoning in that, but then Blake's reluctance to "accept" her as his sister went unexplained -- especially since she didn't appear to be Eskimo). Obviously, the handling of Fallon2's rape was dumb... But, actually, I [I]like [/I]the way they handled Krystle's rape by Blake -- because that's exactly how she would handle it. I've heard from my Bat-phone they wanted to bring back Charlton Heston to be the third party candidate in the gubernatorial race, but the show could no longer afford him; that might have been good, Jason's return, but it wasn't going to happen... I might've liked Season 8 to have come right out and said that they were all running for the Republican nomination, and have Jeff (in the first episode of Season 9) tell Blake that "it looks like Romer is a shoo-in for reelection" (Romer* being the real life Democratic governor of Colorado who was indeed reelected that November, only a few days prior to that episode's airing... but that's just a little unnecessary detail I'd want). I accepted Zimtumbe because it's "so far away" but the sponsors of the assassination attempt on Alexis' in her Jackie O suit should have been something more shadowy than simply nutty Sean (even if they made him the gunman). I've fantasized that Blake's ex-fiancée, the one Alexis shoved out of the way when they were teenagers and is now a Washington power-broker and Georgetown matron, arrives in Colorado to help Blake in his campaign in order to stop Alexis, but is killed in the shooting before we learn she set up the assassination attempt herself in order to kill Alexis and herself, that fiancée terminally ill... Who would we cast?? ... But that's just me). And after one of Alexis' paid paparazzo snaps some shots of Krystle in an innocent-but-looks-compromising situation with some dude (Alexis' campaign manager? Jason Colby, if they could get Heston?) in the estate garden, Krystle pulls out of her husband's campaign and returns to Ohio where she starts clairvoyantly healing her old family members thanks to that A-V malformation. I swear I'd do it. And I'm sure I've never mentioned any of this before. [I]"Oh, no!
