[QUOTE="Rove, post: 43891, member: 100"] Already Dynasty 2.0 is polarizing us posters on soapchat so imagine how it will play when viewed by a much wider audience. I'm guessing the new producers are steering this re-boot towards today's generation, not those that hold "close to their hearts" original Dynasty. That's fine, I can live with that, but if the producers are wishing to have a broad appeal (read good ratings) then so far this re-boot is going to fail. I'm one of those highly critical of TNT Dallas (and to a lesser extent Lorimar Dallas in its later seasons), I've written about it numerous times. It failed because the show-runner had no concept of the history that was Dallas. When you attempt to imply that a family (Ramos) had grown up with the Ewing's you risk alienating those original fans - and it did. I'm prepared to re-set the clock and give Dynasty 2.0 a chance, a fresh approach. My only concern is the new writers/producers are trying to hood-wink those old viewers into thinking their about to watch a re-telling of original Dynasty - it's just going to leave a sour taste in many viewers mouths - just like Carmen, Elena and Drew Ramos did in TNT Dallas.
