Message: <blockquote data-quote="Billy Nolan" data-source="post: 437430" data-attributes="member: 1037">I´m in Season 8 now and J.R. has his fights with Jamie.Again, I think (like often before) Jock Ewing was a real as***le.Jock Ewing was a real jerk. What Cliff Barnes says to Jamie Ewing  hits the nail on the head: Jock left Digger Barnes and even his own brother Jason Ewing penniless and ravaged by alcoholism, while he himself amassed a fortune. It therefore seems only fair that their name is finally cleared and their children receive a third of the Ewing oil.Although the series repeatedly tries to portray Jock as an honorable patriarch, his behavior often tells a different story. He frequently treated his children harshly and didn't always show the necessary warmth, even towards Ellie. Friendship—for example, with Digger—family unity—towards Jason—or genuine fatherly compassion for Gary weren't always his priorities. Cliff is right—and J.R. remains, as so often, the ruthless antagonist whom we somehow still enjoy watching.I hope J.R. will finally be brought to his knees.I really cannot stand him.</blockquote>
