I'm guessing the people who didn't see it are people who didn't even know that Pamela Rebecca Barnes ever existed in the first place. People who saw the original series almost had to have an inkling from the start. Just the name Rebecca itself tipped me off. Then her reaction to Chris bringing how Chinese food? Dead give away. Loved it!

Okay, Ann just won me over... that scene in sleaze's office!

I guess you could attribute it to the fact that she's headed into town, but I was laughing to myelf at how she always looks like a million bucks in her blazers, leggings, and heels whenever she goes to see her slimey ex, it's like pathological. But damn, she got him good!

John Ross renting out the old Ewing Oil space was like fanfic gone right. Nice touch.

I actually think JH did a pretty nice job with that scene where Elena stormed out.

Carl mentioned JM's rumored pec implants above, and they sure did look like swangin' titties when they were playing basketball.

I actually thought she was going to be that stupid to sleep with him...well the writing cliche......I just hate how they try to make her this million bucks Ewing yet they try to make her out to be the next Miss Ellie with her shotgun comments and stuff...ugh To me she is no Mrs. Pam Ewing or Miss Ellie. I did like the scenes but she is NO Ewing.

JH is ok in my book. I did love the Ewing Oil Building shown again but I think that was the one JR bought after losing the original Ewing Oil to Jeremy Wendall. I think Bobby did finally get the offices back. I loved the old Ewing Oil Building set. I didnt particuarly like the new set that JR bought.

LMAO at your JM titties....hahahahahaha...when he laid on top of JB I thought damn those are huge tits....LOL

Yeah, it's a little hard to believe that it would be an empty shell like that now. It definitely looks like a new building/raw space that has never been inhabited.

I must say, I really enjoyed this ep and was so tickled by J.R. at the end. I'm very glad that they got a second season and I'll be watching as many of the old seasons as I can in the next few months. Random memory, yet I'll never forget that night in the 6th grade, we had our first little hormones raging school dance, and my cousin and I came home and there was my aunt and uncle watching the Dallas finale as we gave them the play by play on the dance. I watch now and think, "Larry, Ken, Patrick, Linda, you may NEVER die! You better live forever!" Much of the joy is just seeing these old characters again which is such a luxury given that so many of our beloved stars have passed away. I want to see these people, these characters while I can, even if the writing isn't as great as the orignal series. And let's not pretend like those last seasons of Dallas were exactly Strindberg. I'm soap thirsty after this year of cancellations and Dallas 2.0 is hitting the spot.

It was nice to look forward to something again. Dallas was my favorite nightime soap and it's glad to see it back on tv again. I wish they would bring back some of the original extras that are still living. It is great that we wont have to wait till next summer to see the next season and come the new year a new season of Dallas arrives. It's great having it back after ATWT was cancelled and no other show has seemed to empty that void.

They showed one of Cliff's henchmen carrying Tommy's body into a vehicle during the scene between Cliff and Rebecca. I hope the actor is back next season. He is very good looking and can act.

I loved the finale and the entire season in general. Its been amazing! My only complaint is the new generation. I tried, but I just can't invest in them. It feels like the writers have no idea what their doing with them each episode, but John Ross is the most entertaining of that set.

I can handle the acting, in fact its much better than some of the acting from the last 2 seasons of Dallas. I could hardly watch Cally Ewing.

I think there's something to be said for the fact that I can stomach the not-so-great acting of the newbies but it'll be a cold day in hell before I bring myself to watch the online after show specials hosted by Camera Whoreison. I just can't.

I liked the episode, but I wish there was an outright cliffhanger like soaps used to have. Where is Katherine Wentworth when you need her? Cliff turning on Christopher this was is a little sad, Pam would be so disappointed in him, as would the first Rebecca. What is Audrey Landers up to these days anyway?

See I was hoping for a outright cliffhanger too but I am fine with it. I know what you mean about Katherine Wentworth...so good....Until you mentioned I hadnt realized that Cliff turned on Christopher. Since I cant stand Christopher because of the casting I dont mind it. Yes, Pam would be disappointed I think thats why the producers wanted her back or want her back on the show. I know some of my friends thought they might pull a fast one and Victoria would be the cliffhanger. Audrey Landers was in the first reunion movie in 1996. She has expressed interest in returning to the new Dallas but no word if producers are interested in bringing Afton back.

         And I must say that Latvia's song is oddly magnetic. I think it deserves a place in the final. I would much rather have seen Australia and Serbia in the final than Lithuania and Malta though.
    • Grant Aleksander is a charismatic performer, but I never liked Philip very much. I thought he was a sanctimonious ass at times and also too intense for me. I do think they had a great opportunity for his 2009 return story at showing a man who had come back from the brink and wanted to reclaim his life. If the show had continued, I am curious to see what they would have done. The show's biggest mistake with the Spauldings was keeping Alan much too long instead of having Philip take his place as head of the family. Ron Raines was the luckiest man in daytime to last for 15 years. Alan should have died in the early '00s at the latest, during the Philip/Olivia saga.
    • Too soon to make any judgments about nuTed, but I will say that I think they should've gone older.  And I also saw some chemistry between Bill and Leslie as well lol but Bill's part in Ted and Leslie's affair/Bill and Ted's friendship needed to be established a lot sooner than when the reveal happened. Their relationship could be a really good counterpoint to the Duprees.   But I really liked the parallel that was drawn between Kat and Chelsea, and what their father's did. I like their relationship and I hope they go on to investigate Laura's accident. I just hope it doesn't come until something happens between Eva and Tomas.  Btw, Happy Birthday, Eva! A lot of birthdays today

    • I love you He’s definitely not for me. He comes across very meek. Trisha is going to eat this man alive in scenes.  Excellent scenes! Her damn nicknames be tearing me the hell up
    • Stephanie also was raped in college and killed her rapist along with the help of Chelsea.  It was an accident, but that's something the show has only touched on once or twice since AK took over the role. Very good point!
    • Robinson is less imposing than Johnson was and that makes the character seem completely different. If anything he came off as someone who could have played Doug. 
    • Exactly. That's a fertile ground, where a lot of drama could be mined from. That's a great idea. Especially since her kidnapping was a part of the Dimera/Kiriakis war at the time. Not only could it cause conflict between Stephanie and Alex/the Kiriakises, it could also be tied to both families trying to buy the hospital, and how that would make the hospital look, since these villainous families both want to own it.
    • Hmmmmmmm... I'll have to go back and check

    • @j swift @carolineg I was looking at some scenes on YT of Shelley's take on Stephanie.. and her 2007/2008 take on Stephanie was very spirited, bold, and confident.   I often think her ordeal in 2009 when she was kidnapped and kept in the morgue by that creepy guy probably did change her.. but I don't recall the show ever focusing on the after effects of such a traumatic event. In fact... her novel/manuscript should have been loosely based on that trauma in a fictionized account.  Maybe the rest of the manuscript will involve some of that.. but I doubt Ron C would ever think to include that event in a constructive way to explain the current behaviors/motivations of Stephanie.
