[QUOTE="JROG, post: 86927, member: 43"] [FONT=Arial]I'll echo most of everyone's thoughts: It was much more decent than I expected it to be, except for that opening narration. Although I am not sure about this ambiguous direction they're taking Cristal, I think in a few episodes' time, when all is revealed, they'll have positioned her as good by revealing the 'secret' is not really her fault or there's a good explanation or something. I just want the actress to not play her as catty. The catfight with Fallon was actually fun, and the feud with Anders was great. Grant Show fit in perfectly for the Blake of 2017, and it seems like they won't be shying away from his ruthless side. Fallon: I enjoyed her. They can't possibly make her worse than the original show did. Steven was funny and a cutie. I thought he had great chemistry with Sammy Jo. The story of Steve's gayness was groundbreaking in 1981 but I'm glad they're not continuing that now. Besides, the show DID allude to issues between Blake and Steven because of his gayness. I loved all the little callbacks to the pilot (the pool playing, Blake saying he won't send a parade of flowers) and then mentions of Alexis, which are setting everything up nicely for when she does show up (Season 1 cliffhanger?).
