Dynasty - 5x20 "The Collapse" Part 1

[GuitarM0use]

The intro reminds me of the legend of zelda :D

[NFitalianGuy]

i thought cecil and jeff's shares in colbyco which alexis has and she had controling interest ...

[hardrein101]

This was such a stupid seen between Alexis and dominque and yet another insult to the viewers intelligence.....in season 6 when Blake attemted to take over colbyco he had to borrow 1 billion dollars. Now we have this stupid scene with dominque attempting the same thing....even if she inherited 125 million dollars from her fathers estate....she had no where near enough money to even make alexis sweat since she is $825 million dollars short....so WTF!!!!!

[westnar1]

@hardrein101 You have a point, but you know the company may have gained that value in an year or so... Now,

Big companies have big stock offerings and I think that Dominque had the ace here because she had many different connections to make up the difference. You gotta hand it to her though she had balls...Making herself into an international star from an orphaned child! Dominque was smarter than Blake in that she didn't let her anger cloud her judgement in business...

[hardren101]

@westnar1 dominque could have very many connections but they never showed her attempting to raise any capital....alexis was queen of the hill b/c money is power and colbyco was over billion dollar giant= to an exxon....you would have to have an understanding of the stock market and big business (not that i am saying that you dont) but any viewer that was a stock broker or investment banker would c through this bull as alexis empire was far to large and complex to fuck with.

[westnar1]

@hardren101 In a episode or two before this when diahann carroll didn't appear, adam told blake that dominque used her denver carrington stock as collateral to get a big loan...So she did raise quite a bit of money also you gotta remember that alexis had many enemies domestic and foreign who would have jumped at a chance to shank her corporately

[hardren101]

@westnar1 even is dominque use here dc stock to get a loan she could not have raised enough money to be a threat to alexis or colbyco...in s1 the oilot episode they made the mistake of making refference to blake's net worth at it was $200 million and dc was in independent oil co similar to ewing oil on dallas...colbyco was suppose to be a major oil company worth over a billion dolllars. i guess pt of the prob is this is fiction and we are basing our response on reality...i make that error often.

[westnar1]

@hardrein101 My question would be why didn't Dominique use her colbyco shares to stop Alexis from taking Denver-Carrington in season 6...I am sure she kept them after the battle with her on this...

[hardren101]

@westnar1 you have a point because anyone who holds a min of 10% of a co stock can automatically demand a seat on the board and anyone on the board can influence the policy of a co and can not be thrown off b/c of the large amt of stock that they control....it was never mentioned how much stock dominque was able to purchase but if she was attempting to take over the co she would need min 50.5% to tip the scale and that would take far more cap than she had so the entire storyline was stupid.

[hardren101]

Respond to this video... You also have to understand that any publicly traded company is open to take over since I get a bunch of investors to back me and then make an offer for the company based on the stock price and stockholders are only concerned with profit and money...the company has 5 million outstanding shares of class a stock with each share being work $6.00 a share and now i offer $6.75 a share and am willing to go as high as $7.00 a share....now we have a fight on r hands...

[hardren101]

Respond to this video... this is what hostile takeovers and corp raiding is based on and how the stock world works!!!...the CE0 would have to make a case to the stockholders why even though this might sound good in theory...it will in the long run destroy the company....but most stockholders would not care since they would dump their stock once the deal closed.....this is what alexis was attempting when she tried to take over DC and what blake was doing when he tried to take over colbyco.

[TheNsd09]

first adam went after jeff's then wife kirby and now after stephen's wife claudia... what a dog!

[The1Returner]

Claudia looks kinda HOT in that nighy. With her hair back....DAMN I GOTTA HAVE HER!!!!!!!!

[sharlyntrish]

Good grief! You know, I always rooted for Krystle, but she can be such a dweeb! Why doesn't she stand up to Blake??? She always has this crestfallen, scared expression on her face when he's telling her off. :-/

[tonywrestles2]

@sharlyntrish

Specifically, why doesn't she show Blake the picture of him and Ashley dancing? And why doesn't she notice Blake's envelope is almost identical to hers?

[westnar1]

@sharlyntrish At this point, Krystle was on a tipping point with Blake, she didn't agree with his business practices and she had the appearance of being in an affair with Daniel Reece. She is trying to prove that she is being faithful to Blake and he doesn't want to believe her. She is trying to talk things out with him but he doesn't wanna hear her. Look at the next episode when she walks out on him and the tables are turned and he is begging her to talk.. I think she should have divorced him.

[bigdaddy214167]

@luvmysweetie yess i must say

[BelleDeNuit88]

did people really think shoulder pads are sexy in a negligée back then?! those shoulder pads are the only things that bother me about krystle's looks...

[tonywrestles2]

@BelleDeNuit88

"did people really think shoulder pads are sexy in a negligée back then?!"

Unfortunately, yes, we did... *shudder*

[chrispatyna]

the interaction between Alexis and Dominique is absolutely fantastic!!!! Especially Joan, the lines, the face, she is truly amazing!!!

[FaytLinegod]

Diahann was in flawless form here. Dynasty was so lucky to have her.

[richisdevine]

joan is perfect and so elegant

[solitairecat]

Claudia has managed to sleep with every Carrington under Blakes roof except Fallon and Blake. Now seeing as Fallon's not back yet I guess Blake must be next....lol.

[Slavolicious]

@solitairecat hahah. lol. There's Amanda on the way now.

[brwnone93]

lol. i agree solitairecat. Claudia is what Claudia does. Saddle up Blake.

[hardrein101]

[pisces516973]

"Colbyco is a giant, Dominique. You are down there with the ants, you don't stand a chance."

[parkguy505]

Uh... "rude and impolite" have the same meaning. Come up with better adjectives Alexis come on!!!!
