When did JR stop being scary?

[CeeCee72]

The first time I ever remember JR being "weak" was the scene by the pool where Sue Ellen revealed it was Kristin who shot JR.

Sue Ellen walks towards him - and he looks terrified. I get that he thought she shot him and he probably thought she was there to finish him off, but he look so scared of her.

He seemed less scary to me from that point on.

Come on Junior, your precious daddy and brothers are fighting for their lives with a crew of dastardly strangers and you're still sitting there cowering with your beer!

I always expect JR to push Sue Ellen away, knocking her ignominiously on her bum -- degrading her even as she's cleared of his shooting. I'm always surprised when it doesn't happen.

To me, it was when BD Calhoun started messing with JR.

J.R. was never going to dominate a mercenary like B.D. Calhoun, even vintage J.R. If anything, most mercenaries like that would have killed J.R. fast for his betrayal without any messing about.

Knocked the guy out with the glass though, doing more damage than any of the others did, probably.

I thought it was the pitcher he hit the guy with?

You're probably right, we won't fight over it.
