[QUOTE="Jock Ewing Fan, post: 437696, member: 40536"] In season 2 when Ellie was prepared to give ownership of SF to Garrison, that was a major red flag. How can Ellie say that she loves the man who saved SF from bankruptcy, built it into a wealthy ranch operation, built Ewing Oil into a multimillion (later billion) enterprise and fathered her sons, then turn around and give it away to a brother who had been absent for decades and did literally nothing to save the ranch? JR was right to object JR was also right to object when Ellie further disrespected Jock by giving half of SF to Clayton, with Jock's sons having no property rights if Ellie predeceased Clayton That seems inconsistent with love, at the very least It is fiction, granted, but in the real world, it is unlikely that Garrison would have kept ownership of SF, even if Jock' s name was not listed as an owner. Jock and his sons would have had a claim of adverse possession, since Garrison was away for decades and/or Garrison would be responsible for reimbursing Jock for the upkeep of the property during that time, likely millions. Garrison would have nowhere near that much. [/QUOTE]
