[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 395645, member: 8"] Sorry but I'll stand by my previous comments. Krystle's reaction makes it seem as if the fight takes place [I]because[/I] Alexis is a miserable bitch - which means that it could have randomly happened in any episode because Alexis is [I]always[/I] a miserable bitch. But being a miserable bitch isn't as cruel as torturing Krystle with her double loss, first the miscarriage and then the adoption that couldn't happen because Steven returned. Considering the subject and gravity of Alexis' villainy in this scene, the insult "miserable bitch" sounds relatively light-hearted and even a little bit nondescript. I would have preferred to see Krystle, out of breath because of Alexis' cruelty, calling her a [I]monster[/I] - perhaps more like a realisation than an insult. The dialogue doesn't even have to end there. Alexis could retaliate with the comment that Krystle had done everything to destroy Alexis' relationship with [I]her[/I] children, a feeling that had instigated the scene in the first place. On top of everything, and similar to the first fight caused by Alexis slapping Krystle, maybe it should have been Alexis who pushed Krystle into the pond, only to end up in the pond herself because Krystle grabbed her. Since the choreography of the fight totally sucks I think it would have been better to only show the part that is witnessed by Blake. Which brings me to another point: a witness/witnesses increases the shock value of the battling Denver Dames. There needs to be an opportunity to judge these upper-class soap characters. Jeff and Fallon's trippy midnight swim witnessed by Krystle, Fallon and Mark's semi-hedonistic act during the opening of La Mirage, and even the outrageous Carlton fight in season 9. Don't get me wrong, I still like the scene the way it is. It's just that the perfect soap that is DYNASTY deserves absolute perfectness, which has nothing to do with completely rewriting storylines but paying attention to detail in scenes and characters. And that's why PEYTON PLACE was, is and always will be the #1 American soap opera. [/QUOTE]
