Message: <blockquote data-quote="Taylor Bennett Jr." data-source="post: 366500" data-attributes="member: 2740">the early bedrooms are bad, but the fake patio/pool, which of course lasted until the end, might be even worse!  The cozy, sunny, relaxing pool with the long driveway and the little horse path leading right up to the back was such a nice touch and one of the top few sets of the show, right up there with the living and dining rooms and the Ewing Oil offices.  I liked the contrast of the bright, happy, vacation-like setting with the constant family strife.Then, about a third of the way into the season or a little more, we get this drab, fake, “overcast”, echoey set, overhead lights reflecting off a tiny replica pool… There’s an early scene where a couple of Lucy’s friends are taking these tiny little steps trying to “run around the pool” to set up a situation where poor Jock isn’t even allowed to move his own barbecue grill out of the way.  It looks completely absurd!I think having the Who Shot JR reveal on the fake stage, while I guess necessary to keep secrecy, took some of the starch out of the scene.. everything seemed diminished there.</blockquote>
