How Adam didn't fall after pushing Dex in this ridiculous cliffhanger is beyond me......

I’m about three-quarters of the way through season five, and I hate Nicole so much! If I didn’t already know who dies at the wedding, I’d be wishing she’d be one of them.

I can think of loads more scenes from the series that are better than that one. How could you not choose the infamous first meeting of Alexis and Dominique?

[Soapsuds]

Alexis telling Blake that she now owned the house was great but the choking scenes were so cheesy and unreal....and made the ending shot fizzle.

I still laugh about the YT user who asked, "Did she just pull out that [document] from her [vagina]?"

 

Boy, how that earring of Alexis' just flew across the room, lol.

 

No, if I had to choose a favorite moment from this series, it'd be this one:

I like this scene:

I like all of the above scene picks. Not to derail, but the scenes in the Dynastyverse that I find myself watching over and over again are Sable and Connie's... well-written, well-acted, great dynamic between those two.

 

Over the past few years, I've grown a greater appreciation for Krystle. I love her little strut, she'll just be walking down the hallway leading with those massively padded shoulders and I melt. She was the best when she gave Alexis the business.

[Franko]

Oh, Sable and Connie were on a whole different level. I'd go so far as to say Connie was the best overall rival for Sable, followed by Alexis and then finally Frankie (a lot of that has to do with Katherine Ross).

 

I definitely agree with you about Krystle. Linda Evans had a nice balance of authoritative and elegant. There used to be a clip on YouTube from the Krystle in the attic storyline. George Hamilton and Rita are going over footage of how Krystle carries herself, how Rita's going to have to get it just right. It's a little kooky, but also 100 percent correct.

 

[Khan]

Of course, we'd all be remiss if we didn't include this, the first of many catfights between the two Mrs. Carringtons.  IMO, it was the best, because it was the culmination of months of animosity between Krystle and Alexis, with Krystle discovering how Alexis had caused her to miscarry her and Blake's baby.

I just finished up the Rita storyline and as ridiculous as it was, boy was it fun to watch! Especially in the midst of all of the dullness following the massacre. I truly enjoyed it.

I don't hate the Rita storyline either, but from people I've talked to who watched it way back then, it's worth remembering this was dragged out for three or so months on the show (and it's worth remembering that this plot was supposed to last all season in the original bible!). So yeah... it probably got frustrating for those viewers - as someone who watched the show in reruns on weekdays, it was rather exciting if ridiculous!

I actually quite liked that storyline too. I am a sucker for the occasional outlandish story.

 

But, yes, binging (or, at least, watching it faster than over months) does really help. And, let's face it, Evans was not delivering acting gold.

[All My Shadows]

The second half of season six is good stuff! Caress and Ben came in at just the right time, and The Trial two-parter was great fun. I’m so glad they were able to rebound from all of the boring Moldavia stuff. I know the future looks grim, but I’m happy to just be making it all the way through the series. I started it literally a decade ago.

Oh yeah, the last half of season six is definitively one of the peak periods of the show, even if Alexis's sudden realisation that she's in love with Blake comes a bit out of nowhere. It's too bad that the squandered it in season seven as Alexis taking control of the mansion could've been a fantastic storyline but you know... it's Dynasty.
