nuDynasty Episode Chat S02E06 That Witch

[Zable]

Well, once you see the episode, you will realize I was not putting that much thought into my remark.

I’d been mulling in which threads to post some of my remarks that had been percolating on the back burner; it would have required more than one post in different places. Then the “Oz” in your comment caught my eye and “Kows” triggered the word association with KO (knock out) and “Killer” all combined to bring James Mackay’s comment about “…firing Aussies” and the (possibly misplaced) ire that's raised to the fore. And suddenly I’d found the imperfect spot to put the spine of my comments down. That’s all.

The flying cow and the look-what-the-stork-dropped twister made me chuckle. It reminded me of my response to Toni’s pix of baby Dumbo in the Miles Colby Appreciation thread on The Colbys sub-forum.

It’s a thread where I’d earlier posted the youtube link to the Sable-Miles appreciation video by Old Movie Fan (OM F). “Sable and Miles (The Colbys) – You Raise Me Up” is a video in which “walking on stormy seas” is part of the lyrics. I can see how that might have been creatively reenvisioned.

As I mentioned in that thread, You Raise Me Up was the same song that was used in another YT video for an In Memoriam tribute to Ricardo Montalbán. Ep 6 also reminded me that it was Thanksgiving Day in the United States when RM was born in Mexico on Nov 25, 1920. So, taking everything I posted on the Miles Colby Appreciation thread together, I can see why cwDynasty might have gotten it in their heads to use Thanksgiving Day to put a spotlight on nuAlexis’s men and have Hank ‘acknowledge’ their mummy-son relations in this episode.

I get the idea that they like what they're doing, that this is how they want it to be.

Yes, I get the idea that many of the episodes are about them pleasuring themselves.

A creative vision can be disliked, but it's never wrong.

You're quoting Nero, right?

 

[Willie Oleson]

You're quoting Nero, right?

Yes...yes, I did.

 

[Michael Torrance]

Yes...yes, I did.

Was she really that different from the other Nero in her effect on DALLAS?

 

[Matthew Blaisdel]

I can't help the feeling that S2 of peach Dynasty ist very stricktly aimed at the minds of 14 y.o. insta-girls, much more than season 1 was.
Even season 7B of original Dynasty really was a challenging mind puzzle in comparison.
Again a very, very, very SILLY episode.

Apart from Dex saying in D.S9, “All we need is one more witch and a cauldron” (after seeing Sable & Joanna approach), did anyone else use “witch” in a sentence on O.Dynasty? Did Leslie ever refer to Alexis as “That witch” or did Sable or Sammy Jo or anyone else?

 

[Daniel Avery]

Did anyone memorably say "that bitch" on original Dynasty? Because the CW might have asked them not to use the B word in an episode title...?

I could picture Krystle saying it about Alexis right before some big blow-out catfight.

Lily pond

 

[Tony]

I think Sable says it about Alexis after she spots her in LA in episode 2

 

[Matthew Blaisdel]

On the phone? That indeed was "that witch". ("I want you to find out, what that witch is doing here, how long she's staying and where she's staying.")
And wasn't that at the lily pond "you miserable bitch"?
Can't recall "that bitch" though.

 

[Michael Torrance]

And wasn't that at the lily pond "you miserable bitch"?

Yes, it was that. Per the TV Guide reporters, that was the first use of the term on prime time TV. Although I know one of our posters has a different memory.

Go to 00:19.

Funny how of all characters to use the word "bitch" for the first time on TV, it was Krystle Carrington.

to use the word "bitch" for the first time on TV

The first time on American TV.

It had certainly been bandied about on British TV a long, long time beforehand. And probably a number of other countries earlier still.

Even Mollie Sugden was on the receiving end of it a dozen years before Joan Collins (at about 10:45):

If there was a quiz and the question of who used the word first, J.R. Ewing or Krystle Carrington, i'd always lose. Still can't believe it.

 

[Michael Torrance]

The first time on American TV.

And as I said, I remember someone, maybe @Snarky's Ghost, challenging the TV Guide statement for US TV.

 

[Snarky Oracle!]

And as I said, I remember someone, maybe @Snarky's Ghost, challenging the TV Guide statement for US TV.

Huh?

 

[Michael Torrance]

Huh?

TV Guide had written that "you miserable bitch" was the first time "bitch" was uttered on US prime time.

 

[Willie Oleson]

Ha!

But look!

A baby for Alexis! I hope she keeps it.
