[QUOTE="Spooky Owl!, post: 445603, member: 57984"] Season 11, despite the Katzman/Paulsen/Lewis triumvirate in place, has major problems --- in part because the writers didn't have their usual spring hiatus planning time, which is why the pacing (and some of the details) are a bit "off". That said, the entire point of the toxic JR/SueEllen relationship was that they [I]couldn't [/I]be happy -- either together or probably not even with somebody else. JR perpetually chased Sue Ellen whenever she got away, and once he reined her back in, he contemptuously lost interest yet again and was back on the prowl. Likewise, Sue Ellen would dally with nice men but ultimately lose interest and return to her ultimate bad-boy, JR. It was a sick codependent bond and was supposed to be. They were never going to be at peace and didn't really want it -- the drama of their dysfunction, the game, was what they were all about. And Sue Ellen only finally left once she'd become bored with the cycle. [/QUOTE]
