It’s been a long five and a half months, but Dallas is back! This season promises to be full of lying, backstabbing and of course tears. It will be interesting to see how they deal with the death of Larry Hagman, but my guess is it will be completely over the top. Hopefully you enjoy – I’m getting back into the swing of things after the off-season.
One Big Happy Family
After a quick update, we start at Sue Ellen’s campaign headquarters. She is talking to her many followers about the great things she will do in office. I don’t think anything on this show can be that straightforward or simple. I’m predicting her going down in flames.
Next up, John Ross is at a party/club/mixer and walks up to some girl that looks about 18. She is wearing an apron showing that it’s her last single night and has items to cross off some list of whore-like behavior. He shoves his tongue down her throat while her bridesmaids hoot and holler. Badly. I mean, this was some terrible acting. Next thing you know John Ross is getting dressed in the morning while the blushing bride-to-be is calling in her refill for her valtrex prescription. I really don’t understand the purpose of this whole scene other than showing that John Ross is some kind of man-whore without Elena. But alas, there is a higher purpose. It seems that his overnight host’s daddy, Mr. Cartright, has a trucking fleet John Ross wants to use. Like a perfect gentleman, he has a video to blackmails him with. When daddy tells him that his daughter is in love with her fiancé, John Ross says that ‘love is for pussies’. They really should have saved that wonderful quote for closer to Valentine’s Day.
While you’re calming down from all the love and romance, we can skip over to a racetrack, where a racecar bearing the Ewing Energies logo is going around the track. Elena and two random guys are watching the car until it stops. Who should emerge from the car but Christopher? Do they just let anyone climb in a racecar these days? And did he really need to shell out the money for the racing suit? He goes to talk to one of the guys, famed Nascar driver Ricky Rudd, about having a methane-fueled car. Ricky agrees to test-drive the car and Christopher and Elena start groping each other in celebration.
John Ross shows up at Ewing Energies and JR is waiting for him. It seems father does know best, because JR asks John Ross if the trick to sleep with the daughter worked. Is anyone else totally skeeved out by JR giving out sex advice to his son? JR wants to cripple methane, but John Ross tells him that he has ‘issues’ with his cousin to work out first. By issues, I assume he means the whole ‘I lied to my fiancé, stabbed my family in the back and she left me for him because of it’.

I don’t know why Christopher thinks he needs Real Rebecca. Even without proving Fake Rebecca was engaged in a fraud post-reconciliation, she and Christopher, though not blood related, are cousins. I think that’s not OK, even in Texas.
This show was on my ‘watch later’ list (aka when I am stuck home with the flu/cold). But after one of the main characters passed away in real life, I am tuning in just to see how that is handled.
I have said it before and I will say it again, but all the fake teeth on this show drive me crazy. Sue Ellen’s are awful (both the top and bottom) and look odd in her mouth. Elena is just painful to watch. Jordana Brewster has lost so much weight and is so skinny. When you can see your fake teeth through your cheeks it might be time to stop with the extreme diet.
Can anyone explain to me what happened to Rebecca being pregnant with twins at the end of Season 1 and now at the beginning of Season 2 there is no “baby bump” to be seen! What did I miss? Please fill me in.

I think she is still supposed to be pregnant as they keep referring to “the babies” and Christopher is fighting for sole custody (LOL good luck with that). Not sure if it was in the first episode or the second but Christopher was refurbishing an old cradle in the driveway. Why he did it in the driveway I am not sure. And why he was doing only one and there was no sign of a second considering they are expecting twins, not sure about that either. Christopher isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed even though he invented the “mining” of methane.
