Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jock&#039;s Ghost" data-source="post: 407646" data-attributes="member: 1183">The problem with Season 11 is that the drama was drawn away from the Ewing family. Everyone is there, but nothing affects Miss Ellie, Ray, and Bobby. All of them do their own thing and rarely intersect.JR is shark-like, but nearly as quick and sharp as he was 4 seasons ago. Hagman seems to want to give him a softer edge. He mourned Jock. He saw Ewing Oil as an extension of his father, but he lost Ewing Oil and did nothing. No depression- no regret, nothing... the hostility between him and Sue Ellen is dumb. A more interesting route would have been to have them team up and bring down the Cryders together- Sue Ellen goes more power-hungry than JR!Bobby is a lonely doofus. His moping leads us to the moron April. He does nothing business-wise and rarely interacts with JR.Where is Miss Ellie? Saving the homeless! HAHA! I was never a huge fan of BBG; she never felt like a Texan; no accent, nothing, but her later years are dreadful, she is very bored and there for the paycheck—stupid Clayton, is now more useless than ever.  April? Why is she here? Her intro was based on being married to Jack. He left and so should she. Never liked her. Never felt her character fit and their interacts contrived. At least the DREAM SEASON feels like real Dallas with the family intact and acting like real humans.The only bright spot is Jenna and Ray- too bad we didn't see them sooner. They are good together- PP is a better actor with Kanaly than Duffy. She's not so predictable. Jenna completes Ray's winning streak of BANGING ALL of the eligible women.</blockquote>
