[QUOTE="Trick-or-Treat Stevens, post: 175545, member: 11"] I overall liked Josh Henderson's John Ross on the TNT Dallas. My only critique was that he acted too young at times, not someone in their thirties. I would have liked to see John Ross more like how he was being portrayed in the later years (and [I]JR Returns[/I]) of the CBS Dallas as Omri Katz. Kinda bratty and arrogant at times. Not a bad kid but certainly someone who felt a level of privilege with his upbringing. It would have been nice if Dallas had gone on a few more seasons on CBS to see how John Ross developed in his teens. At the beginning of TNT Dallas he would have been thirty-three or so and I think he should have already been in the Oil/Energies business and be a mix of JR and Sue Ellen. Confident, charismatic but also underhanded at times and prone to weakness, bad impulses. From a writing standpoint John Ross is a very interesting character. There is so much we don't know about his life from 1991-2012 that could have shaped who he was in 2012 when we met him again. I think it would be wrong just to make John Ross 'JR Ewing 2.0'. That would be lazy writing IMO. I certainly would have had him married by 2012 or have an ex-wife. [/QUOTE]
