[QUOTE="Werewillie Oleson, post: 291745, member: 8"] The pace and soapy plotting in the next episode is near flawless as it continues to develop without losing any of its drama and suspense. Seeing Miss Ellie so distraught when section 40 is being cleared for operation in an almost ceremonial fashion as the box opens to reveal its future Pandora, Jock is determined to sell the Asian oil leases in order to pay the bank and save Southfork. [IMG]https://64.media.tumblr.com/18d95b9e069f19d3590d967f732f1b18/037465037da6654f-9f/s500x750/542d85d46da052f3a54f8a0ae29640d5c0620d34.jpg[/IMG] Oh yeah, that house of happiness and peace and quiet. Everybody has an opinion on Sue Ellen's indifference towards baby John but I feel it's not really helping when Marlon Brando's sister is still there to take care of the child, something that Sue Ellen uses as a default excuse. Bobby and Pam can hear the Mr. and Mrs. Ewing argue in the other room and I think there's something funny and unsophisticated about off-screen arguments. I remember another one that has Miss Ellie arguing with JR in the living room while the focus scene plays out between characters in the hallway. I think this kind of scripting is more common in UK and Australian soap operas? There's a nice touch when Bobby receives a postcard from little boy Luke in Montana. Maybe he and his pa are working on the YELLOWSTONE. [IMG]https://64.media.tumblr.com/8bc2225a50ab0744e1712b4547f5df7a/037465037da6654f-f4/s500x750/e45768b7367d6a51d7c4379eed155b0259e3fcc9.jpg[/IMG] Sue Ellen is still seeing Dr. Ellby hoping to get some answers and cut and dried instructions, but all she gets is more questions, how frustrating! For the first time I noticed that Dr. Ellby actually has a very sinister physical appearance, like the leader of a cult or the villain in a naff British sci-fi series. [ATTACH type="full"]30294[/ATTACH] After a most unintentional meeting, Sue Ellen reluctantly agrees to discuss the parental situation with Cliff in the privacy of his apartment. Once she's there she immediately starts to play the victim role but Cliff doesn’t want to hear it anymore and turns the tables on her with nasty counter-accusations. It mostly serves as a convenient clue for Sue Ellen and Dr. Ellby to get to the core of her problems, but still, someone had to come up with the idea to do it this way. Soap always looks so much more simple with the benefit of hindsight. At this point in the story baby John is still Cliff's son, and until the end of this episode Pam was baby John's first "mother". Which brings me to the parallel storylines between Pam and JR (of all characters). They're both clutching at straws, there's no way to get in and no way to get out, but then when their respective situations actually [I]improve - [/I]Ewing Oil's overseas investment finally pays off and Sue Ellen finally embraces motherhood - they are the ones who're going to pay the price for it. [IMG]https://64.media.tumblr.com/4f43e1a336fc251774e657f05c3d6623/037465037da6654f-b4/s500x750/74c07fc9595b117a2f279e63ec4b2d659e9e557a.jpg[/IMG] Once again, JR is being reined in by the only person he looks up to, and Pam is no longer needed in the nursery. [ATTACH type="full"]30293[/ATTACH] Like Southfork was never JR's to play with. I thought this was an interesting scene because it kind of plays out as the three-way split opening credits. [ATTACH type="full"]30296[/ATTACH] Jock and Miss Ellie celebrate the all's well that ends well, as if their private dramas will no longer be televised, Pam is alerted by the sound of crying coming from the nursery and she runs up to her fate of the empty armed Madonna. At the same time, the focus is also on JR who's choking on his pride and covers it up with clumsy-goofy champagne failure. Ray Krebbs is in it for only 40 seconds but he becomes the winner of this episode when he stumbles upon a twist with great shock value. They shrug it off as "just a skeleton" but I have a feeling that this is not the end of it. [ATTACH type="full"]30295[/ATTACH] Also starring Lucy with dramatic hair movement. [/QUOTE]
