[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 190752, member: 23"] In addition to the later seasons, you've now really sold me on the [I]Dallas[/I] films. I have no memory of watching[I] War Of The Ewings, [/I]even though I feel quietly confident I must have done at least once. I could tell [I]Knots[/I] wasn't going to come out of this too well. It's an inferior product, perhaps all the more noticeable because it was the most consistently watchable and sensibly plotted of the prime time soaps. It seemed to struggle without room for the plots to breathe. But considering how great some of the early standalone episodes were, that's not much of an excuse. Gosh. I wondered what you'd make of this scene. I've always found it very cheesy. Camp is the word that seems to be most associated with the scene. But it's deliberate camp, which doesn't always work. Alexis throwing sequins while shouting "Take that. And that" is the stuff of Adam West [I]Batman[/I]. Absolutely. The bottom line is that the scene is fun and enjoyable to watch. So it's a success. That's a great image. Oh God. Yes. Val said it to Gary at the end of [I]The Loudest Word. [/I]Could it be a belated nod to that? [/QUOTE]
