[QUOTE="Kenny Coyote, post: 206746, member: 102"] The idea of a doing prequel can be to address unanswered questions, but that's just one approach. What I would find interesting is the stories that could be told by having this same group if characters in an earlier time period their life. It's having stories take place in that different scenario that would allow for them to have stories that are distinctly different from what we already saw. How does Jock take Ewing Oil from a mid-size company to a big company? How did he operate before he had a lot of power and how did he get it? What type of obstacles does he face when he was in that scenario of just running another mid-size company? ? Seeing Bobby in his college football years and "playboy phase" gives that character completely different circumstances than what we've seen him in before. Seeing JR before he'd built a reputation of his own as he starts out at Ewing Oil and watching a young JR learn the business. There are unanswered questions too though. How did Gary act when he was in his teenage years? Did he bring his problems on himself or were they a response to mistakes made in parenting? I suspect both, but to what degree did each contribute? Where was Gary when JR took Lucy from Valene? Any kind of man would try to prevent that from happening, or you'd think so, but what did Gary do to help retain Lucy? Or were he and Val so young and unready to be parents they they saw it as the best thing for Lucy to have her grandparents raise her? If not, why did Miss Ellie keep Lucy once JR brought her to Ellie? What caused her to not immediately return Lucy to her parents? How did the favoritism Jock and Ellie displayed affect each son? Was JR basically a good kid before he found himself as the only son who wasn't a favorite to either parent? Did he figure that if being "least favorite" is where being good got him, why bother trying to please people anymore if his very best just wasn't ever enough? [/QUOTE]
