Just wondering what everyone thought of the TNT reboot...we started season 1 up on Sunday! My mom watched and loved it when I was little, and I have also gotten hooked...to us, at least, it was a seamless transition, even though I know some do not prefer it.
Sue Ellen: - J.R., five letters, water markers.
JR: - Buoys.
Sue Ellen: - What did you say, J.R.?
JR: - B-U-O-Y-S. Buoys.
Why was Sue Ellen drinking in almost every scene at the ranch while she was pregnant? Didn't doctors recommend not drinking during pregnancy?
I’ve only seen the entire series once, back in the SOAPNet days.
Trying to think of ways to incorporate this group, but I’ll be watching on my own schedule. Not like I’d wait for a weekly single episode watch party (although that would be fun…I’d just go back and watch whichever episode the group was watching that week).
Idk what I’m looking for with this post lol. I guess if anybody has any good idea I should think about doing while I’m getting started to let me know.
Thanks
Just started the series for the second time through.
Couple things….
Is there a story behind them choosing to film with snow on the ground? I’d think that wouldn’t be the best idea visually with a new show named Dallas.
Pam has a lead foot behind the wheel.
I forget Miss Ellie’s accent and how she almost turns “Pam” into a 2 syllable word.
Forgot how little used (and bitchy) Sue Ellen was at the beginning.
How did they cope and how did the makeup team and clothing team constantly refresh them?
The men are clearly sweating. Then you have the characters in suits all the time. Then, the women have to look immaculate
Apart from the poolside scenes featuring the Ewings enjoying a relaxed Saturday at Southfork, nothing in season 7, episode 15 - “Offshore Crude” feels quite this over-the-top. These scenes were filmed on the “Dallas” soundstage in Hollywood, where the pool is much smaller than its actual Texas counterpart. As a result, the race involving Bobby, Ray, and Peter seems rather laughable, since Patrick Duffy, Steve Kanaly, and Atkins can swim across the pool almost instantly. Nevertheless, season-seven cinematographer Bradford May succeeds in making the exterior sets appear more realistic than they did before, although they still cannot pass for the genuine locations.
Pam in particular is tactfully, but obviously, disdainful of Jenna Wade and I just love her facial expressions here. You can tell she doesn't give a flying leap what Jenna thinks of her but also at this point in Pam's life she clearly thinks she's better than her while also still being somewhat jealous because she still loves Bobby. Jenna comes off as being a little out of her element and cold but with a chip on her shoulder and the kind of stubborn determination that reminds of early seasons of Pam.
The friction between Afton and Katherine is also priceless and overall I just love the tension in this scene and find it very entertaining.
I hope he becomes more prominent. Over the last 7 seasons he has been relatively calm, menacing and a bit of a loner. Even J.R seems cautious at times to go too far, too often.
