Besides, anyone who had undergone that kind of surgery (similar surgery to the surgery that left Pam so ugly she couldn't bear to let her family see her looking that way) would have had lots of scars. I didn't see any scars on Parmalee's face. The best doctors in the world couldn't have done a plastic surgery job of that scale that well, and his surgery was done in a small hospital in the jungle. When we found out he was just Wyatt Haynes, the third guy who got into the helicopter later it explained him having a completely different build from Jock but didn't explain not having any visible scars. The storyline was insulting to Dallas, Jim Davis, and the fans.2. "JR staying married to Sue Ellen for so long after their second marriage." I don't know how JR could stand Sue Ellen.  Where we supposed to believe JR didn't believe he could do better than have an abrasive, irritating drunk for a wife? If she didn't like it she could have left. If not, JR should have made her leave by divorcing her. He was supposedly waiting for her to "give him a divorce." That's entirely out of character for JR. He would have divorced her whether she wanted a divorce or not. With her record no judge would have awarded her custody of John Ross. JR lived to enjoy life. Sue Ellen lived to be miserable and to try to make others equally miserable. JR didn't do anything he didn't enjoy or find worthwhile. While people like Donna Culver were making themselves miserable talking about JR and how much they didn't like him, JR was out having a good time. JR lived to have a good time. JR and Sue Ellen had two diametrically opposed philosophies towards life which proved to be incompatible far earlier than their eventual final divorce. They just ran the storyline way too many times for too many years. They ran it into the ground over and over again and ran millions of viewers away in the process.3. The Lee Ann De La Vega storyline - that woman never would have been able to fool JR. She wasn't even close to his level of expertise at business. She was just a foolish dilettante and they had her pull off things that the shrewdest oil men in Texas were never able to accomplish. It was absurd. This storyline includes De La Vega selling Ewing Oil to Michelle Stevens and Michelle becoming owner of Ewing Oil. The whole thing was ridiculous.4.  JR Getting Himself Trapped In An Insane Asylum - It was very out of character for JR to have everything planned so poorly. The writers in the final seasons had no respect for the character of JR which considering it became the most iconic TV character of all time, they should have had a lot more respect for the character. I won't include too many things from the last few seasons because they could fill up a 10 least realistic storyline list on their own.5. Sue Ellen and Peter Richards - She was old enough to be his mother! What would she see in him? Completely unrealistic especially for a woman whose place in society was so important to her. It was in very bad taste and it was ridiculous. There were some other unrealistic storylines, but this one was also painful to have to watch.Continued soon...</blockquote>
