[QUOTE="the-lost-son, post: 338855, member: 672"] The character of JR was great as long as you did not know how far he would go. The uncertainty what he was going to do, what his intentions sometimes were (eg stockpiling oil), that's what made it so compelling. I'll handle Kristen my own way. - freeze frame. (to lady Jessica's question what possibly could go wrong with Ellie's wedding to Clayton) almost anything - freeze frame It always comes down to the writing. During the last +4 years the writing was mostly so predictable. Every intention/emotion is articulated immediately, like LeeAnn delavega announcing to take Ewing oil weeks in adcance to the audience. The need not to miss an episode is gone, it's easy to catch up, like in any other daytime soap. A scene like JR standing on the balcony after figuring out SE's affair with Peter doesn't seem possible anymore. The audience was let into the secret that JR knew it, but the unpredictibility in total made it such a treat to watch. [/QUOTE]
