Let me start off by saying that old Dallas was classic nighttime soap and while plots dragged out for a while with different characters I was curious as to how they would do it now. Where the audience expects a faster paced story and where it is only on 1 day a week. Let me not mention that it is on TNT probably one of my favorite TV Networks to watch. They produce quality shows Fallen Skies, Leverage, Rizzoli and Isles, The Closer and Southland.
Season 1 didn't disappoint character wise here is what I love and what I don't:
JR Ewing- Larry is still bad ass as ever, period. He and Patrick Duffy are golden as feuding brothers and his storyline this season was amazing to watch, I was so nervous that the older set would simply be props. I was wrong.
Bobby Ewing- I've always loved do gooder Bobby a good man, good husband and he needs a rival with his brother. Dallas wouldn't be Dallas if he and JR weren't at odds. I also love that he has a new wife and Ann doesn't disappoint my favorite Bobby wife.
Ann Ewing- One of my favorite new characters, she is interesting, strong and a good match for Bobby. I'm curious about her past with Harris Ryland and I certainly expect for her long lost child to appear in Season 2. I also love her with Mitch Pileggi they have wicked chem.
Sue Ellen- Linda Gray still is showing that you can come back and rock it. I love her as Sue Ellen, period. I love her trying to right the wrongs with John Ross as a mother and I am rooting for her for governor. She is still beautiful and the cast is seamless with her a part of it.
Harris Ryland- Mitch Pileggi has always been brilliant in anything he is in and I love seeing him play a power hungry kinda sick ex-husband asshole. He and Ann have mad chemistry and I hope he sticks around for season 2 after all that locket and all the hints about a child. I have a feeling he'll be back.
John Ross- Josh Henderson kicks ass that is all. I love him as John Ross, he is his father's son tip to tail as JR put it last night. I wouldn't expect anything less and JH just sells is, my only annoyance is his vomit inducing great love for his cousin's left overs. Please he could do better Rebecca anyone?!
Rebecca Ewing (Rebecca Barnes)- She is my favorite so far next to John Ross, I called it early in that she would be revealed to be Cliff's daughter and the payoff was worth it. I hate how Christopher treats her, bitch please wipe the floor with him. Could be that I hate Christopher and his saint hood, that he did no wrong marrying her at the beginning of the season after he knew about the e-mail. The proceeded to blame her for the mess he got himself into. I'm pretty sure that her love for him died when he threatened to take their kids. Perhaps she and John Ross can hook up and destroy the lame ass couple of Chris/Elena.
Elena Ramos- I don't care that Jordana Brewster is skinny she looks like me skinny, I eat a lot. I'm more annoyed that I haven't seen what is so great and grand about her that she has two men wrapped around her finger. One that she clearly believed would dump her after years together and another that must prove himself to her over and over again. Does she have oil filled boobs or something? I'm trying to figure it out all while getting annoyed with her every episode. She couldn't even break up with John Ross in person, coward bitch sent her mother and then goes and bangs Christopher.
Christopher Ewing- St. Christopher apparently, woe is me Christopher, Rebecca ruined my life Christopher. Please shut up already! He knew about the e-mail yet still married Rebecca knowing that he had feelings for Elena. Let me not even mention that instead of chasing after your 'great love' he just left to China and then hooked up with a stranger in Rebecca. Bitch you were played own it instead of whining about it, you do the right thing by paying off said ex and saying horrible things to her that are apparently forgotten about by the time you bed her. You treat your current wife like crap until you find out she is pregnant and even then it's ugh. It could be that I find Jesse Metcalfe extremely weak as an actor, Passions and Miguel anyone? Or that his renewable energy source storyline was stupid to the point of throwing up. Regardless I hope John Ross and Rebecca wipe the floor with him and Elena.
Things I want in Season 2?
- I wanna know more about Ann and Harris, I'm pretty sure a child will be popping up.
- I want to see more of JR/Sue Ellen I'll always root for them and I can't help but want them together perhaps uniting for their son.
- John Ross to finally win one over and his stupid cousin and Elena, show them that he means business, i'm sick of their great wuv and whining.
- Rebecca Barnes to go all bad ass on everyone, bitch shot her business partner watch out. Plus I wouldn't mind seeing her with John Ross, sexy times two.
- Elena to lose something, she is a fickle ho bag. She thinks she is special because she had two men trotting after her like she was in heat. Please she isn't all that.
- For them to explain where Pam is or for Pam to return!
- Bobby and JR to continue in their scheming ways, one upping each other and I wouldn't mid if Bobby losses just once.
- For Christopher to get what he deserves he is self righteous, selfish and all round I just can't stand him, see above John Ross and Rebecca.
