[QUOTE="tommie, post: 387938, member: 370"] Honestly, it's actually quite terrible? Besides the issue with being way too tied to Dynasty - which means that anyone who wants to jump into the show not having watched the mothership previously is unable to - the plots themselves are quite lame. The Sable / Connie tension just doesn't really seem that justified and then of course you have ridiculous scenes like Jeff "impressing" Jason with his knowledge which goes on for a ridiculous amount of time (though I *am* seriously impressed with John James' ability to memorise dialogue). And Monica being a Strong Business Woman of the 80s borders on parody, like yes, we get it. I bet she has her coffee black in the morning. The Colby's apparently taking helicopters everywhere for no real point (like Connie taking one to a bus stop - oh, Aaron could afford helicopters here!). The faux conversations to show off their wealth (put the orchestra on the terrace!). But I guess at least they had time to squeeze in an attempted rape that serves absolutely no purpose - I'd like to think that actually was the drug dealer that shows up on Dynasty in season 8 (same actor). Also, the weird scenes between Bliss and Jeff are just... something to behold. I'm not sure what exactly is the purpose of those except for convincing us that Jeff is so sexy his first cousin (at this point...) would sleep with him. No wonder its ratings trajectory was 22.3 -> 19.3 -> 13.0 when it finally moved away from Dynasty. [/QUOTE]
