[QUOTE="Rove, post: 441889, member: 100"] I would argue both, though take the 'ance off ignorance as the TNT showrunner was informed by the big brass to ignore the reunion movies as though they didn't exist. That's like ignoring the dream season but it's part of Dallas folklore...it exists. We somehow have to acknowledge it but not dwell on it. The laziness creeps in when a showrunner fails to watch Dallas in its entirety; including Dallas: The Early Years and obviously Lorimar Dallas. Attempting to retcon new characters into Dallas history is bound to frustrate old fans, which it did. Lorimar Dallas wasn't perfect in tripping up on it's own history but TNT Dallas magnified how utterly inept a continuation can be when history is ignored or twisted to fit an agenda. [/QUOTE]
