    So who do you think will be the first character to be killed off? We are almost at the final episode of season 1. So expect a typical Dallas season finale cliff hanger!

    Of the new characters, I am not liking Elena. I don't think the actress is great to be honest so if any character is to meet a sudden end I think it may be her.

    Given Larry's age, I wouldn't be surprised with a "Who shot JR" redux.

    Didn't realise that it was nearing the end:( Ten shows is a very short run, was hoping it would be 22. Its as corny as hell but I am loving it:o Its so bad its good. Pure escapism. So many cliffhangers in the lastest episode:eek: I am not liking Elena or Rebecca so wouldn't miss either.

    That was some episode! :eek: (just caught up now)

    I have to say I've loved this so it's great to hear its been green-lit for a second season. Agree that without much JR in the last few episodes it's been missing something but its still very watchable. I like how they've stuck with the premise from the original show - that no matter what else has happened between them, when the chips are down the Ewings pull together (John Ross / Bobby).

    It really wouldn't work without the senior (no pun intended) cast though I think.. it'd be just another bland remake of the style we've seen lots of in recent years, so fingers crossed they'll all be in it for a while yet (wouldn't surprise me if 2 finales were written, one if they weren't renewed and the one we'll get to see next week)

    TV3 9am this evening . I will keep an open mind but Dallas was a template for so many other shows (Falcon Crest Etc) that I hardly think this will rock TV-its a concept done to death but for pure nostalgia will be good to see Bobby and JR. Was curious that they dont use the character of Bobby's natural son with Jenna Wade? The one Ray Krebbs adopted? Of course the fact that Ray once dated Lucy (incest?!) is airbrushed away but sure Bobby and the Shower etc

    Someone compared Michael Noonan coming back into Finance to Pam and Booby shower scene-great one because both date from the same era! The shock of it-thinking baldy was gone and Presto he is back talking about bullions like he was never gone!

    im torn whether to hate john ross or christopher although john ross is the ruthless one Christopher willingly slept with his cousins ex fiance less then a day after they broke up

    TNT will premiere Season 2 of Dallas in January 2013.


  • Registered Users Posts: 201 ✭✭door


    The cliffhanger was sort of poor. If you see "Dallas: JR Returns" the 1996 reunion movie you will see that Christopher and Rebecca began dating then. So it really doesn't make much sense.

    the makers said its a continuation of the original series there not counting the tv movies

    Rebecca could be Cliff Barnes daughter so that would make her Christopher's cousin *yikes*

    :cool:

    The TV Movies are not canon. Rebecca and Christopher are not cousins by blood. Christopher is Sue Ellens sisters Kristin and J. R's son and was adopted by Bobby and Pamela.

    Actually... he's not even JR's. As far as I remember, Kristen's brother tried to blackmail JR by claiming the baby was his (but wasn't) but when JR didn't give in, Bobby bought the baby (Christopher) and took him as his own.

    (I watch too much telly :))

    Agreed, episode 3 is a marked improvement. But improves again as it goes on

    Well it was/is a cultural icon and will probably draw in huge viewers for them so who can blame them :p
