[QUOTE="the-lost-son, post: 384664, member: 672"] You're spot on. In Barbara Curran's book it was documented just like that. The body floating in the pool/Kristen's death shouldn't be overshadowed with the next major character's death. The scene when Miss Ellie gets the call is my first Dallas' memory. The death of Jock, the pacing, its repercussions - it's the best writing in TV for me. I wouldn't change a single thing. In regards to funeral for Jock: I'm glad the producers stayed away from it. First, they bring very little to the plot (except introducing new characters) and the episodes were packed with content at that time. But foremost - missing characters are frustrating, eg. Lucy Ewing, a millionaire, who couldn't get a 2hour flight from Atlanta or a driver (11 hours) to get her to Bobby's funeral. These are different times - the series Succession had a funeral of a major character towards its ending with basically every character attending. That or off-screen for me. [/QUOTE]
