A.I. to 'sweeten' DYNASTY ?

[Snarky Oracle!]

I can't stop watching. It's almost like an illness. Such that my Youtube "shorts" algorithm is now only giving me these morbidly obese (mostly) women on a waterslide, or demanding more food after 7 hours at an all-you-can-eat buffet, or hang-gliding off a mountainside when the cord snaps. And I laugh like a hyena... And I can't post any more of them @Daniel Avery is threatening to banish me from this kingdom forever.

If they were real people, of course, it wouldn't funny (as I lack, which might surprise people, a basic sadistic impulse) because the subjects would be killed or seriously injured. But what makes it so riotous is that somebody went to great lengths to make all these things just for laughs.

Can't someone, who has the A.I. abilities to do so, give us Krystle & Alexis in the lilypond at 900 pounds each??

Misogyny. It's what's for dinner.

For you, you'd have to watch Season 7 on repeat.

I never thought you were evil!

I never thought you were evil!

...you didn't? I don't know whether to be flattered or not.

This is really good, @Ked :

To reiterate: I would spiff-up Alexis' penthouse, would add color panels to the walls of mansion bedrooms (which are often the same set) to distinguish them from each other, would add windows to the solarium, add instruments to the conservatory, eliminate the flat-lighting (for some scenes only) in the mansion hallways, add stone walls and orange pillars and color to the carpet in the La Mirage lobby, add cascading stain glass lighting to the Carlton lobby, add reverb to the dialogue in the Carlton lobby and the mansion's main hall, replace all those overstuffed white couches with something more upscale and beauteous, install a Godiva room off the Carlton lobby, and place mountainous vistas outside the mansion windows.

I swear I'd do it, the show was so mealy mouth with its production design.

Thank you so much! x3

And yes, those all sound like excellent ideas. Let DYNASTY live up to its own reputation.

But the first thing I'd do to DYNASTY with A.I. is deepen Krystle's voice in the later seasons as she became increasingly infantilized -- sure, Krystle had to devolve a little bit in keeping with her later health issues, but she spiraled downward (and her voice upward) far too much and far too long -- and largely due to the scripts, the impact of S.A.D., and Linda's feeling "stultified" as the series went on.

YouTube commenters often refer to how much "deeper" her voice is in scenes with Alexis from Season 1 & 2 as compared to scenes from subsequent years where it's higher-pitched (and, arguably, more ineffectual).

Once in the can, spiffing up Alexis' offices, the La Mirage lobby, and the mansion bedrooms are on the agenda. As are craggy snowcapped Colorado peaks in view of the house and visible behind those Delta Rho stables, etc.
