Even at the time I remember being struck by how it recaptured at least some of the magic of the glory days. Lots of Dallas' best storylines turned around the drama of conflicting loyalties rather than chain gangs, international conspiracies, and doppelgängers. JR's schemes were regularly mined for the often unforeseen conflicts they brought about in the relationships between other family members. Somewhere along the way the writers seemed wilfully to have abandoned this principle. The tanker storyline revisited it one last time.</p></blockquote><p></p>
