[QUOTE="Carrie Fairchild, post: 138709, member: 673"] So I've decided to give the show another go and three episodes into season two and I'm still hanging in there (just about). It all feels a bit unfocused right now but I'm guessing that may be as a result of them trying to undo some of last season's arcs and get the thrust of the new season going. They'd previously said that this season would focus much more on the mother daughter dynamic between Fallon and Alexis but they've barely shared a scene together in these first three episodes. I'm presuming they'll band together once the new Cristal becomes more of a threat. Speaking of the new Cristal, isn't this kind of a redoing of the previous Cristal (a woman who is pretending to be something that she is not?). I would've liked Kelly Rutherford to have hung around a bit longer as I like her (Megan was one of my favourite characters from later period Melrose Place). Her storyline being wrapped up in about three lines was abrupt and stank of writer's dumping something that they didn't feel was working. Hopefully she might be back in the future. The Joseph being Steven's father revelation is quite the twist but what are they going to do with it? Having Carringtons not be Carringtons only serves to dilute the dynastic element of Dynasty IMO. On the subject of Anders, Kirby is obviously supposed to be the new Sammy Jo type troublemaker but I'm not really feeling her. The shouty "I'm back bitch" stuff just doesn't wash with me. I get that she's pissed with the family but I'm finding her a bit much. Also, what is the purpose of the Colbys? I know that they announced that were actually Carringtons at the end of last season but they feel like they're off to the sidelines. Anyway, I could go on but my main feeling about this season so far, is that it's a bit all over the place and they really need to draw them all back into the mansion and have the family duke it out, rather than having all these sideline distractions like the Van Kirks and Ada Stone (although Katherine LaNasa is a welcome addition to any cast).
