Last Barbecue

[DKosty123 · 8/10 · 27 June 2012]

We have this one ending on a mini cliff-hanger, with Rebecca about to tall Christopher about the email, it seems. Of course we have a classic stop here as it will be next week before she actually tells him and how she might spin it. After all, Christopher's newly minted wife of 4 episodes is being led down this path by John Ross but she also has another motive which has not yet been made clear.

This episode has the old JR running around maneuvering like he is still a young JR. His scheme is that he is trying to out smart and out maneuver everyone including his son. The only person that he is still sparring with is Sue Ellen.

Christopher confides the wrong email story to Bobby, not knowing the real truth yet, but admittedly torn between Rebecca and Elena. There is a lot going on. The last Southfork Barbecue brings back Ray Krebs and Lucy Ewing as so far they seem to be party animals on this Dallas. You never know, but I don't think they will be doing anything as frisky on Southfork as they did when the original series started.

From this one, with JR unhinging Marta on John Ross, things look to be pretty exciting next week. I am staying tuned for sure. I am trying to sort out Rebecca and Elena as they are heading for a show down again really soon I suspect.

Surfing through the channels from my cable TV offerings, I've seen truckers drive on ice, pawn shop owners swindle deals from desperate gamblers, Alaskan state troopers busting reckless outlaws, and Kardashians acting more and more like the entitled idiots we all know them to be... but all that "reality" doesn't come close to the the emotional charge I get from watching Dallas 2012. Reality shows---sit back and let us show you how REAL entertainment is done. Texas Style. Be sure, JR (Larry Hagman) , Sue Ellen (Linda Grey),Bobby (Patrick Duffy) and Cliff Barnes (Ken Kershavel) while being a bit long in the tooth are still as compelling as ever. And I'm sure we too, the audience, who fell in love with the show the fist time around are no spring chickens. But the young pups, John Ross (Josh Henderson) and Christopher (Jesse Metcaffe) do a great job of drawing in the 30 something demographic with their good looks and a dramatic flair to convincingly attract the obligatory female eye candy. Plot? Something about Bobby selling South Fork from under JR. Who cares? Watching JR dissing his old nemesis Cliff Barnes with those classic Texas put downs ("why Cliff Barnes has more holes in his gibberish than a Mosquito net") It's oil. It's greed. It's Blackmail. It's double crossing. My God, TV is fun again. And wait, is there a better opening TV theme than Dallas? Good call to bring that back,
