The ratings have leveled off at 2.6 million viewers. If the show returns it will return in the summer. I dont see TNT airing it again during the fall or winter airings...too much competition....if 2 seasons is all we get it is better than I would have expected considering it was just a dream to see the show once again. If someone who knew the history of the show were writing the show it would increase in the ratings...where is David Paulson right now??

*sigh* I just can't imagine having a job on this show and not watching every episode of the original at least twice. I hate to admit it, but Dallas 2.0 is sort of an empty shell. I want to like it a lot more than I really do, still it's good to see old friends.

I would have already brought in all the Dallas kids....Bobby and Jeanna's son...Lucas......Donna and Ray's daughter.......Cally's son....hell even Mandy could have left pregnant with JRs baby without us nol knowing...it wouldnt be rewriting history but a nice twist...instead we get lame characters like Elena...blah.

Did they end up having a daughter? Do you remember her name? Just curious. I haven't seen the original in a decade , although I've seen all of the episodes more than once. I do remember that in one version of things Donna was going to have a baby with Downs, but that was a dream season. Didn't she lose that baby? I seem to remember her giving birth in Washington maybe? It's all sort of fuzzy. One of these days I'll break down and buy the DVDs.

The scene when the doctor tells Rebecca that its best they terminate her pregnancy was HEARTBREAKING. I think Julie did a phenomenal job with it. Oh I had a feeling at least one of the babies would die. That final scene where the baby died and they watched the second one fade away too was too much. This was more emotional than JR's death IMO

Her mother looks amazing for her age. She has aged very well (well great work at least!)

While I think she was miscast as Rylands mother, JL is the best thing on this show. I love her old Texan accent! My only wish is that they make her character even nastier than she is now bc she has potential to be such a delicious soapy bitch. Im so glad she's not dead bc I thought we were going to get a cover up after last week's episode

When Sue Ellen said her old friend was Ken Richards, I thought she said Kim Richards at first...lol

Dang, that Emma sure gets around now that Daddy isn't watching her. I wonder how long before she makes a play for Christopher. Elena's bro kinda reminds me of Jon Snow from Game of Thrones

I hope Christopher is vindicated soon. I don't like how all this is being blamed on him. Oh look Sue's guy uncovered it

y'know, I cringed when I heard about Lee Majors being cast. Granted, it's not a huge role, but I was surprised at how comfortable he seemed.

Guess I forgot he could do more than use his bionic arm or fall from moving trucks...lol.

Just finished watching Episode 10 where Rebecca loses the twins....so heartbreaking. I knew it was probably gonna happen and it still destroyed me. I wonder where they're gonna take the character from here? At some point she'll have to find out that her own father was behind this tragedy.

At first I found Cliff amusing but after this last episode he's clearly insane. Just a complete psychopath who's been obsessed with JR and the Ewings for decades. I'll never root for him at all after what he just did to his own daughter.

I don't care about Harris Ryland or his crazy mother. That entire storyline is just boring as hell. Rebecca's mom (Afton I think?) was just flawless and fit in so well IMO. Loved her interactions with Rebecca and the Ewing boys. I was blown away by the acting on the person who plays Rebecca. She showed some true raw emotion in those scenes.

This was a really good episode and I lie Christopher and John Ross as a team. I am not sure how Pam's lawyers when pronounced dead didn't see to it that Christopher got his inheritance but ok. Also, when Rebecca died there was no such thing as Barnes Global since Cliff had no money to speak of that was his own. If only Katherine would show up, that would make this show must see TV.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
