[QUOTE="Alexis, post: 86932, member: 68"] I think we are so used to seeing this trashy pimp swag money thing now with the likes of the Kardashians and those Real Housewives of Everywhere shows. It doesn't leave us in awe. It's just empty, we are desensitized now. We see it all the time and it's not a world we don't know about or really even aspire to, honestly. With old Dynasty there were all those feelings from insecurity, to uncomfortableness, to ravenous hunger that we sensed from people on the periphery of the Dynasty world. Krystle coming in, Steven not entirely happy being there, Claudia an alien in that word, and Sammy Jo desperate to embed herself there, literally. You the viewer had those feelings too, as that world wasn't one that you belonged in. And you wanted that world, that fantasy but you felt it was so drastically different from the one you lived in. You were Krystle, Steven, Claudia and even Sammy Jo. And look how totally different all those characters were, but yet you empathised with all of them. This new show fails in that regard doesn't it? Or the pilot -at least. I really hope we get more character bits. [/QUOTE]
