Dallas Season 11 "Farewell Pam. Ewing" 1/2
The Dallas Drama Season 11 Ep.282, Cliff Barns found Pam.
This was a godawful ending for Pam's character. It's so unbelievably written, you can only assume the writers & producers were sort of flipping the bird to Victoria Principal.
It was Leonard Katzman and Larry Hagman who brought this mess on by insisting to bring back Patrick Duffy. They got a o...

@averette You don't need to be psychic. Just watch the show. He's not gay. He's a priest. Wisecracks that all Catholic Priests must be gay aren't interesting.

Funny, but Dynasty in 1989 was borrowing 2 storylines that Falcon Crest did years earlier, the WW2 Nazi treasure, and the Catholic priest falling for a beautiful young woman and questioning his vows. Though Falcon Crest was a campy mess at the end, when they did those 2 plot lines years earlier t...

Stephanie Beacham was only 42 in this episode. She was surely playing a bit older (to be Monica's mom).. If anything Monica is a bit too old, and looks it, to be Sable's daughter. Funny, but Nolan Miller's fashions & styling made women look older than they were.

Sable's scene with Kristina is super sweet, and a more subtle character-development scene than Dynasty usually did. I do like the potential Sable/Blake/Dex triangle that's being set up here. Since Dex and Blake were such good pals up til now, it would've been interesting to see that play out. Or ...

I have to agree with some of the comments here about season 8 being more the reason for the cancellation than season 9. Season 8 was just awful, and as a result, producers had lower budgets, a bad timeslot change from the network, and less PR to work with for season 9.
Creatively, and given wha...

Honestly, Dex is one of those supporting characters who, along with Sable, and even Sammy Jo this season, are keeping things interesting. John James seems to understand the gig is up, an...

While the scene with Alexis and Fallon in Alexis' bedroom is fun on one level because of her taking stock of her ex-husbands, it really just highlights the fact that her storylines have been repetitive.

My 2 cents:
Yes, the Carlton Hotel was a giant step down for Alexis from the penthouse she had before she tookover the mansion. My only guess is that The Carlton set was actually more economical, because they can house many characters there, just by changing up the set-decorations. Alexis' penth...

It's absolutely stupid that Alexis tracked down the guy she hired to get her ships. To do what exactly? Stand there and bitch at him about how to do his job? She can't possibly have anything to offer him in terms of help, other than money. Stupid.

This Virginia storyline has been dead on arrival. Why waste time on this, especially since they cast such a weak actress in the role? Had they cast a compelling actress, it might have been interesting, but it's been a mistake since she first showed up.

It does seem like Emma Samms was given more direction & styling to appear closer to the original Fallon. More subdued hair & wardrobe, better attempt at an American accent. At least they were trying. Funny they didn't try harder for consistency when Emma first joined the show.

God, I wish they'd get rid of Virginia already. She has no chemistry with any other character on the show, and they all kind of hate her. The plotline with Dex is juvenile. So she was a streetwalker he slept with 10 years ago, and she got her feelings hurt? WHO CARES?

The Zorelli/Fallon romance has no real energy. They keep having the same conversation with each other for weeks. The romance has no sizzle. She's has so little acting range, and he's a cartoon cop from a bad sitcom.
