Re: Dallas -- "Collateral Damage" -- 7/18/12
Am I the only person that laughed over how Christopher didn't care that Rebecca was pregnant (he even said it didn't matter if the test results proved the kid was his) until it turned out she was pregnant with twins? Cos that totally changes everything.
I knew it was coming eventually (she was only a guest star) but I'll miss fake Marta Del Sol. Though I'm perplexed as to why anyone thought John Ross killed her. I get that they set that up with the scratches on his neck. However, it was incredibly awkward how the onlookers immediately zeroed in on John Ross. He seemed no different than any other shocked onlooker.
Larry Hagman's one scene was little more than a cocktease. This show is nothing without JR.

And Marta was a total babe.
And it seems like they are setting up that Ann is Christopher's birth mother.

I guess you're right. It's been years since I saw the original. But then who could that baby be in the picture burning in the fireplace?

Another episode where it's obvious that Larry Hagman shot his scenes after the show wrapped. I hope it's not this way for the rest of Season 1 (but I understand if Larry needed to leave for health reasons during the shoot).

The onlookers were pissed because John Ross pushed them out of the way getting out of the elevator. That's why they remembered him. (Joe Schmoe beat me to it, too much looking up things on IMDB :-)
Speaking of coincidence, apparently there are only two officers on the Dallas police force since the same ones came to arrest both Bobby and John Ross.
I agree Larry Hagman is the reason to watch but Brenda Strong is doing a good job and Mitch Pileggi is a great villain. Tony Almeida is also very amusing.

I liked even more how the cop asked "Are you Bobby Ewing?" Like the Dallas police wouldn't have a clue what one of their richest and most public figures looked like.

and John Ross is an idiot. Once he figured out that Elena wasn't there, he should have taken off. I think the scratch on his neck and then Tony Almeida's goons throwing Marta off the balcony was a little too predictable that he was going to be set up for murder.
at Chris, what a fucking stubborn dope. Now that he's having twins, that makes a huge difference.
And Charlene Tilton is gradually getting more screentime as the season goes on. Hopefully she and Ray will be more involved in season 2.
And I agree with DeFan. Brenda Strong has been great as Ann.

I don't think it was twins that changed things for Christopher. I think seeing the ultrasound is what made the difference. That's when he really got emotional because the pregnancy was suddenly "real" to him.

No...that's wonderful.
For men without J.R.'s wealth I always thought there should be a dating service where like a bunch of old guys chip in to get a trophy wife and each of them getting her once every few weeks.
