[QUOTE="Jimmy Todd, post: 315229, member: 3926"] So am I. Most of these things happened during Dallas' best seasons, and their actions also elicited reactions from other characters. These reactions helped us know and understand them better. I liked Sue Ellen and Afton's scenes together. There was an interesting dynamic there. Sue Ellen knew Afton shagged JR in her own bed, a low class, terrible thing to do. Yet, Afton would also deliver some truths to Sue Ellen. She rightly pointed out that Clayton was in love with Sue Ellen AND that if Sue Ellen was smart she'd ditch JR and Cliff for an upright man like Clayton. Sue Ellen had very good reasons to dislike Afton and when people tells us some truths, well, that's the worst. For Sue Ellen, not us, the viewers:) If I'm not mistaken, [USER=152]@Snarky Oracle[/USER] was the one who brought up the archetypes in the soaps. Afton then would be the Greek Cassandra, the prophetess who was doomed to never be believed. Sue Ellen didn't believe her. Pam wouldn't believe her. Cliff didn't either. Ironically, JR was the only one who valued her judgement. Ah. Dallas. I bet Aristotle, Plato, and Shakespeare would have been big fans. [/QUOTE]
