[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 441067, member: 57984"] And that was yet another perversity of the show -- DYNASTY finally did a year-long story arc for the first time in forever, and then they're not allowed to discuss anything! "Liberal" Hollywood, post-the advent of Reagan, found politics difficult to discuss comfortably -- even in fiction. Some films tried, but it was nervously frowned upon. And, certainly, a series as poorly-written as (most of) DYNASTY, and produced by pimps, was [I][B]not [/B][/I]going rise to the occasion. So they did nothing. No political issue could be debated. At all. Only what bitches and bastards the two were. For an entire year. DYNASTY was largely an '[I]all-dressed-up-and-no-place-to-go'[/I] type of program already, but the Season 8 gubernatorial campaign plot, with so much potential, lasting the entire season with absolutely no details whatsoever, was the[I] ne plus ultra[/I] of the fervent pointlessness that [B][I]was [/I][/B]The Carrington Saga. [I]Much ado about nothing[/I] -- I'm afraid that was DYNASTY in a decaying Pignolia nutshell.. Almost anything! [/QUOTE]
