Normally TV is pretty uneventful for me. I watch here and there but nothing really excites me about it. Except for Monday nights now on TNT it is my can't miss show. I literally have walked away from the dinner table to watch. I record the Voice.
A few things happened this season that have just pulled me in JR's Masterpiece and my head is spinning with all the possibilities of it. Secondly the pairing of John Ross (JR's son) and Pamela Rebecca (Cliff's daughter) is just a dream come true. Rival families falling for each other and it doesn't hurt that the actors have chemistry in spades for the couple.
Other new additions to the cast I am enjoying is Mitch Pelliggi as Harris Ryland. With JR gone they did need a dark character and him working with Cliff is just brilliant.
If you watched old Dallas you know that there was a feud between the Barnes and the Ewings. I was so disappointed that they seemed to be wasting John Ross with Elena Ramos who doesn't have any ties to the original show and Pamela Rebecca the adopted son of Bobby, until this season. Starting out as revenge sex and slowly moving toward realizing they have feelings for eahc other is just brilliant writing. Not to mention the history tie in between them with their parents.
If we are building up to JR's grand plan to take down Ryland and Cliff in one feel swoop I believe it was key that he knew that turning Pamela Rebecca against her father would be key. What better way to do that than have your son fall for your enemies daughter. If you think I am crazy go back and rewatch the episodes leading to JR's death, he asked John Ross if he had feelings for her John Ross hesitated. Then went behind his father's back to protect her!
Fast forward to episode 10 and 11. John Ross acted more like a father to be and husband to her than Chris did when her twins died. Saw her at her worst in 11, Julie and Josh just sell them. Now I am sure you are wondering where I am going with this.
If Barnes Global is owned by Cliff, Katherine and Pam (Cliff's sister not daughter) that means the Ewings have to have a majority to own it. If Pam is in fact deceased Christopher would get her shares, or JR could be sending them on a wild goose chase and she in fact alive. Pamela Rebecca would get her father's shares if he were to be out of comission. In order to get John Ross in on the idea...you heard it hear first business marriage.
Not only would John Ross get Barnes Global he would have original Ewing Oil back. JR would have pulled the ultimate dupe on Cliff by stealing his daughter permanently back into the Ewings by having her fall in love with JR's son. It would kill Cliff, slay him because of his hatred for the Ewing family. TNT released some spoiler pictures for next week and if you want to doubt me look at the pictures yourself. John Ross carting Pamela Rebecca in his arms in the rain.
You have other spoilers out there from the actors saying that no one expected them to just take off like they did or that they would go there with them. Business marriage while having real feelings for each other would shock I think everyone.
All this being said I may just have to do something I haven't done in two years...make a shipper video after monday night. Suggestions for music anyone?
