Would This Have Been the Way to Go

[Spooky Owl!]

I guess the Margaret Michael’s Pam scene when she talks about the fact she’s dying is the closest we ever got to any kind of closure. Unfortunately Bobby and Christopher weren’t privy to that.

I've rationalized that Margaret Michael's isolated "Pam" appearance might actually have been Jeanne O'Brien first attempt to draw Bobby in in order to distract him for some reason (later revealed to be Wendell's scheme) and even her doctor isn't entirely in on the scheme.

But the plot doesn't "take" initially.

Far-fetched? Maybe. Convoluted? Definitely!

also for one of those twin millionaires "friends" with Clayton, where Jessica very stupidly showed up at.

I wanted Jessica's murder spree to be played straight, like a horror movie. And someone here suggested that her victims should be the Dallas cartel members she'd been extorting for decades over fear that her claims of paternity of Dusty be revealed.

Clayton realizes that she might show up at the funereal because of what happened when Amy died: Jessica acted a fool at the ceremony and seemed delighted to hover over her victim being dumped in the ground once-and-for-all.

She's just so twisted!

I would have preferred more Farlows on the show not just Clayton and Dusty.

No, No, a thousand times No.
One Farlow was one too many

Never liked Dusty,
JR was right about Clayton being an outsider and interloper.
JR was completely right about objecting to Clayton getting half of SF
It was disrespectful to Jock, who save d SF as JR rightly pointed outr.
If Miss Ellie predeceased Clayton, the Ewings would have no claim
Bobby should have supported JR

However, Alexis Smith was great as Lady Jessica

I agree with your viewpoints. Let me explain. I agree with everything you say here. Clayton was an outsider who did not belong on Southfork and he earned JR's dislike. My point was that if you are going to make Clayton and Dusty main characters, you might as well add more to the Farlow family. I would have preferred exploring Jock's family more not just annoying Jamie and Jack.

Lame. Katzman was a hack. Simple as that. He ruined a great series.
1. Mistake was killing bobby permanently. Never. Coma, kidnapping anything....
2. Not recasting Pam with Michael's and killing her off.
