Dallas 2.0: Discussion Thread

some has been posted already but not the whole interview

Oh damn that was a good finale with good twists and revelations!

I love how JR was In control of his own death and framing Cliff for it was such an unexpected yet logical way to go about with it all. Very fitting

Did anyone else think the nurse was Pam? I kept paying attention to her in those scenes with Christopher.

Emma continues to be a slut

Elena? Irrelevant! I love how Rebecca is back in the good graces of the family and Elena has all been pushed out. Can she go away next season? The twist with her family's land would have been so much better had she been a better character with a different actress

You know this served as a good series finale too in the event that the shoe wasn't going to be renewed.

The finale wasnt bad but it could have been better...I wish we could have gotten an actual cliffhanger...but we didnt....

I think Dallas 1.0 did the best cliffhangers.

I don't mind. This show is on shaky ground, so I think they are trying to do right by fans.

They didn't have a cliffhanger for season one either and this is a show known for cliffhangers. I think the biggest problem with launching the show for season two is that TNT really didn't have anything to promote. Once Larry Hagman died they had a huge story they could use for promotion and ratings went up. For the next season finale once again you will have a tepid show and nothing to promote since everything was pretty much wrapped up.

Even though I thought Season 2 wasn't as great, for me (the last half was much better than the first half), I'm thrilled it's getting a Season 3.

Ugh really, TNT

The 15-episode Season 3 is slated to launch in early 2014.

I'm still watching the final episodes of season 2 and I was really impressed by it. I's clssic soap opera material and the plotting is actually quite clever on the most part.
Its nowehere original but sooo much better than season 1. I truely like it - Larry Hagman's passing served more a boost than a burden on thre show - which I would have never imagined...

I don't see the problem? That seems expected to me

Almost a year away, way too long IMO if they want to sustain the viewers they've got.

Yeah, I'm not really understanding such a long lag time either. Unless it's just kind of standard for TNT, which does have a fair amount of original programming.
