[QUOTE="Werewillie Oleson, post: 162268, member: 8"] A bunch of notorious kidnappers has arrived in Dallas, and this time they plan to extort a fortune from Jock Ewing. [ATTACH=full]16265[/ATTACH] Their target: JR Ewing. Bobby has a flat tire, takes JR's car to drive to the construction site and that's how they end up kidnapping the mistaken identity Ewing instead. [ATTACH=full]16264[/ATTACH] I always like scenes like these, those short moments before the characters are confronted with a tragedy. [ATTACH=full]16266[/ATTACH] Pam is getting a little worried, but only we know how really bad the situation is. Cliff arrives with a note from the kidnappers, Jock reads it and it becomes apparent that they had intended to kidnap JR. [ATTACH=full]16267[/ATTACH] Now, none of this is JR's fault of course, but it does create the idea that Bobby is the victim because JR [I]isn't.[/I] The characters don't act or say anything that supports this idea, but somehow it makes the situation even more uncomfortable. Bobby is almost sexually harassed by the female kidnapper. [ATTACH=full]16268[/ATTACH] Is that politically correct or incorrect? She looks like a cross between Jennifer Saunders and Rebecca Wentworth. [ATTACH=full]16269[/ATTACH] JR and the Southfork men shoot the kidnappers shortly after the money/victim exchange. Cliff accuses JR of endangering their lives, and his life in particular. And to be honest, Cliff was still rather close when they started shooting. [ATTACH=full]16270[/ATTACH] You'd expect JR to laugh it away, but he's getting quite upset. "There's no chance of that. You were both in the clear, both of you!" [ATTACH=full]16271[/ATTACH] It's not really clear why this bothers him so much. Maybe he hates the idea that his decision may not have been the best decision? Or because he doesn't want Bobby to think that he would intentionally imperil the life of Cliff Barnes? [ATTACH=full]16272[/ATTACH] It seems to be a happy ending without any heroes… ...but JR declares himself a hero anyway. "Well, with me there he was never safer in his life" [ATTACH=full]16273[/ATTACH] There's absolutely nothing convincing about that statement, but that's not the point - or actually, it is. [/QUOTE]
