[QUOTE="James from London, post: 229813, member: 22"] It's strange: I was totally gripped by New DALLAS the first time around, but as I'm watching it again, there's a lot I don't remember. There [I]is[/I] a lot to take in. It's very tightly plotted, much more than EMPIRE or DYNASTY, with so many twists and turns. Also, it felt quite overwhelming at the time, in a good way - I was kind of in shock for the whole three seasons that DALLAS was really back! And the pace seemed really fast whereas now it feels just right. I wonder if that's because the rest of TV has caught up with it in the last seven or eight years. I read one critique which seemed to find the idea that [I]Rolling Stone[/I] would put a relatively unknown R&B (i.e, black) singer on its cover just as far-fetched. It didn't occur to me either, but then once it did, I thought, 'Am I just stating the obvious?' Cristal #1 has definitely grown on me. [/QUOTE]
