[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 141521, member: 8"] I don't feel it's written as a "story", but the same applies to season 1. Although there's something to be said for having absolutely no idea what to expect. Apparently they are familiar with O.Dynasty so why wouldn't they understand? This is the Fallon Show, not the Alexis Show, therefore the story dictates what kind of character Alexis should be, not vice versa. Kirby's storyline painted Alexis as a true villain, to the other Carringtons she's nothing but a PITA. Again, we have no idea what to expect. They're not as all-important as we thought they would be, but I don't mind watching the Carringtons associate with some familiar faces every now and then. C-A has been sold, everyone got their money so at this moment there's no storyline for them. At least they're not stalling the episodes with unnecessary filler scenes. Maybe the situation is going to heat up when (or if) Dominique arrives. Indeed. While I agree that this was not the most exciting episode, narrative-wise it made sense because it dealt with (and wrapped up) Fallon's dilemma. [/QUOTE]
