[QUOTE="xab, post: 340733, member: 925"] Scary ... ? He proved to be ruthless, manipulative, tough, insensitive, but I wouldn't use the [I]scary[/I] word. Freddy Krugger is scary, Norman Bates is too. JR remains a human being. He's no serial killer. But I'm no Digger's daughter (I'm not Patricia Shepard's one either) and I never been involved in the oil business, so who am I to talk ? Whatever, I strongly think becoming a father showed him the path to humanity. Sort of. Ok, it took a little bunch of episodes. But I do think John Ross changed his life and his schemes around JR III's custody seemed more legitimate than the many previous ones. His love for his flesh and blood became the most important thing in his life. You could root for JR at last. I'm not sure you could have before that... And let's not forget he was shot and thought he would be paralysed for who knows how many months or years. If not the rest of his life. Even if a JR wouldn't acknowledge it loudly, it's a trauma, whoever you are. But, on top of all that, he aged. We all do. We all change. I guess he just did... [/QUOTE]
