[QUOTE="Monzo, post: 445646, member: 19949"] It had never occurred to me before that Sue Ellen’s movie might have been intended as a farewell to Dallas as a series, rather than just to the character of Sue Ellen—but the flashbacks we got through it could be an indication of that. Perhaps the world premiere of Sue Ellen’s movie was meant to be the series finale, featuring the return of welcome guests like Ray and Donna. Now that it’s been brought up, I do recall moments of closeness between J.R. and Sue Ellen in season 12, though she seemed so lost. Things remained interesting while Jeremy was in her orbit, but once Don became her primary focus, it became difficult to watch. During my last rewatch, I was actually looking forward to seeing Ian McShane—given the memorable roles he played after Dallas—but, strangely enough, I liked him just as little as I had before. I find Sue Ellen’s desire for revenge following Nicholas’s death more understandable than her seeking vengeance against J.R. for yet another affair. Ultimately, it seems she really just needed the film project as a way to process her grief; after all, she certainly didn’t want Nicholas’s father to kill J.R. in retaliation. [/QUOTE]
