Dallas 2.0: Discussion Thread

Jesse Metcalfe sucks. Hopefully he gets fired.

Liked this episode plenty. Larry Hagman just steals the show. Loved seeing more Linda Gray...but it's still not enough!

I really think that Christopher should be a bisexual dude. I can see that he embraces his wife Rebecca but I can also see why his character might/should embrace DICK too! That's just me. HAHA!

Haven't bi people already had enough negative media representation?

Lol.I really can't picture any bi characters on Dallas especially well written ones. Seeing those gifs gave me a flashback to John Tucker must Die when the girls made him "The Face of Herpes"

Christopher could have a fling with Rebecca's brother. That works for me.

No!

Oooh... so I just had a thought/theory about Rebecca. I have no idea if this is where the writers are going, BUT what if...

Rebecca is really Pam's daughter? She looks vaguely like VP when she wears her hair straight, and I read elsewhere that Rebecca was Pam's mother's name. What if Pam left because she was dying and knew she was pregnant as well and didn't want Bobby to watch her and the baby both die? But by some miracle she survived and had Rebecca. IDK why she wouldn't tell Bobby the truth, but she didn't. So Rebecca is really a Ewing by blood, but Christopher by virtue of his birth and adoption is not. Yes, it's vaguely incestuous, but didn't Dallas do that the first time around, having Lucy sleep with someone who turned out to be her uncle?

IF Rebecca is Pam and Bobby's daughter (and that's a BIG if, I realize), then perhaps she and Tommy have bonded together to steal this patent of Christopher's because they believe it's her birthright as a Ewing to have. I know there are rumors that VP may come back at the end of the season, and people have speculated that it's because Bobby is dying. But what if her return has more to do with Rebecca than Bobby?

Marathon on the Fourth.

And Linda said how they do consider this as the 14th Season of Dallas.

wouldn't this technically be the 15th season, not the 14th

They keep saying 14th. I am wondering if maybe they should have skipped a week because of the 4th. The ratings won't be that good.

I wonder why, cause didn't the original go 14 seasons

On the dvd releases there are 14 seasons but the first release has the mini season and the following season as seasons 1 and 2. I guess the stars of the show consider it as just one season.
