- GoofsThere is just no way that Holly, played by Lois Chiles, could simply have had that revolver hidden under the folds of her nightgown as it lays spread out on the bed. She was seen preparing herself to present an alluring sight to J.R. as he enters the room. She was alone, so there was no need to hide the firearm, yet there was simply no sign of it. Such a revolver is big and heavy and couldn't have been hidden on her person underneath such light bed-clothes. Stuck under the pillow? No. That's clearly not what happened. She pulled that gun from the folds of her nightgown as if by magic. in real life, this basic situation can of course easily be done, just not as seamlessly as on film here, considering just how bulky a firearm and how dainty her clothing is.

Featured review
rehashing of the same plotlines
It's absolutely marvelous to see Victoria Principal's Pamela Ewing being steered to much better advantage than in previous seasons. I'm the guy who complained and complained ever since the old neurofibromatosis development.
The plotlines cannot come up with something inventive. Long ago, Cliff Barnes was set up to leave the OLM for a political career. Then, last season, he was set up to buy into a non-producing oilfield, yet he rushed into it without thinking "more of the same" while really not being dumb. Now he wants to do the same kind of thing to J. R., setting him up with a political campaign to get him out of Texas. All of these clearly come from the same mind.
And Pamela seeing Mark with an air of "I'm a married woman who don't do this sort of thing"? Remember Alex, Pam? Just the other day, really...
What struck me in this episode is what Mark said. Pamela hasn't laughed in a long time. I don't think a character like the early seasons Bobby Ewing would have neglected Pamela the way he does. It's all, Well, the script says It's gotta happen, this carries the story, never mind what the character is supposed to be like...
All of these things are connected. The characters aren't true to their proper early seasons selves.
That said, it is still a majestic show that holds it own to a guy watching ORIGINALS, GAME OF THRONES, PRETTY LITTLE LIARS, COVERT AFFAIRS, you know, new this-century shows. And that says something 'cause is plain ol' no-gimmicks acting. The characters have powerful impact. Nothing of its time compares.
