Message: <blockquote data-quote="tommie" data-source="post: 264890" data-attributes="member: 370">I think the issue is that a lot of OG Dallas fans tend to partly overestimate how much exactly the general public remembers about the original show and also forget that the Lorimar Dallas wasn't always consistent in itself and would often retcon things (like the daytime soap counterparts) to fit in with the story they wanted to tell at that moment. Not saying consistency isn't nice, but those things tend to be more a wink to the obsessives who remembers who-said-what-when rather than the average casual viewer (which is who they're targeting any reboot/remake or whatever to). If Dallas is ever revisited again then a story that makes sense for someone who's never watched Dallas or just about vaguely remembers some pop culture trivia about it will always be the priority.</blockquote>
