[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 404730, member: 57984"] Well, Aaron's shows didn't always bring the best out of the actors. Especially when S.A.D. was applied, as it was in DYNASTY as of Season 3 (as I've said ad nauseum and will continue to as I'm gurgling in my casket -- except I'm not planning to be buried but instead die in a wild sex accident where things blow up and people scream in reluctant approval). If you look at Linda's post-BIG VALLEY work in the '70s, she's quite good, very effective in a less-is-more kind of way, soulful and organic. That includes the first two seasons of DYNASTY. But of all the destructive creative decisions that were made by the show-runners after that, I still say S.A.D. was the worst, the most corrosive. Because it made even adequately-written scenes take on a vaguely dumbish vibe. (And not always vaguely). The cast's performances were all impacted to a degree, but as the nice blonde, white woman, Krystle suffered the most. And today, that's Linda Evans' image, if she still has one: beautiful, aged like a man, and a bad actress. It's so unfair. But I guess she didn't know how to fight it...
