Message: <blockquote data-quote="Michael Torrance" data-source="post: 221829" data-attributes="member: 719">In retrospect, a colossal error on the part of the show in season 3. I am sure I have 87 posts on this already, but reducing the Colby Dynasty to just Jeff with the death of Cecil was beyond short-sighted. Imagine if back then we suddenly had Constance descend to challenge Alexis as a co-heir. And Sable to visit her dear cousin. Of course she was. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />Yes, season 9 is much more focused unlike previous seasons, but DYNASTY is a much more coherent show also in season 8.  I don't think it is that any amazing talent shift back to the original show happened, but that the spin-off's cancellation and the new, later and worse timeslot finally scared the execs to realize they better shape up or else. A trimmed 22-episode season and consistent, season-long arcs helped. As for the Colbys in season 9, it is mixed bag. I loved Sable and Monica on the show, and the way tensions from the spin off were still present (Jeff and Sable). But the twins retcon was just...blah.</blockquote>
