[QUOTE="Taylor Bennett Jr., post: 212281, member: 2740"] yeah, it really seemed like they abruptly shoehorned in a complete revision of the origin story as an excuse to give us a couple of younger Ewings who looked good in swimwear and a half-season worth of storyline. Part of the intrigue of the Jock/Digger story was that nobody really knew exactly what happened back then - even Jock and Digger's recollections/versions weren't entirely reliable and comprehensive nearly 50 years later, even if it was hinted from time to time that Jock's version was closer to the full truth. Think of Jock's "real power is something you take" speech to Bobby (and Bobby's reaction) in that context and it's more interesting - what did he mean by that? [I]"You're damn right I took it, it's mine!"[/I] I think spelling things out later with Jock so clearly in the right, to the point of near-sainthood, was something of a copout. The whole Jason nonsense is not canon to me! [/QUOTE]
