Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kenny Coyote" data-source="post: 196204" data-attributes="member: 102">Ambiguity allows several different interpretations. Making a character has no specific effect on how interesting the character is; it's just one style of doing things. ""We know JR and Cliff will do anything to take each other down." - So there is nothing ambiguous there; it's very explicit. When you have an enemy who will do anything to take you down, there are no rules and anything goes because you are in a fight for survival. Edgar Randolph you list as being an ambiguous storyline. I guess it's because Randolph was a former child molester, but that was a long time ago and he had changed himself and become a good man. So do you like him or not? I'm sure it varies from viewer to viewer. I found that storyline interesting. It was also ambiguous because JR blackmailed Randolph by telling him he'd give the story of Randolph's past to the media of Randolph didn't give JR the bids. So JR got the bids, but he didn't use them to win a bid on anything. So how bad was it? He wasn't going to lie about Edgar; he was just going to tell the truth about him. JR didn't unfairly make money off of getting the bids, and the government didn't lose any money by JR getting the bids. It did help Cliff win, so Cliff gained from the blackmail scheme, but that wasn't the intent; it was an accident. So I see what you mean by it being ambiguous and yes, that was a great storyline - the best of the season.</blockquote>
