The Kitchen Table

Dallas

13 years ago

Loved it tonight - was surprised that it was 2 episodes in a row and also that next week is 2 episodes in one night and that is the season finale - already ?

I feel that they are doing a good job with building the characters - using the old timers to their best advantage and cultivating the youngsters into their true personas!

Wonder when Judith Light will reappear - I feel that she will probably do something MAJOR to screw up her son just to show him who's the boss :)

Both episodes were great! It's hard to believe the finale is so fast...I don't want it to end. I love seeing the old-timers as it really helps to remind me of the original Dallas. I sure miss JR, but it seems as though John Ross is ready to take his place as scoundrel-in-chief.

Will a Canary island date palm grow [well] in Dallas?
Q
Comments (11)
If you are looking for a date palm, I would suggest a regular date palm or a Cretan date palm instead of Canary Island Date Palms. None of the date palms are truly 100% hardy in Dallas in my opinion, as the record low there is 0F and I've not heard of any date palm surviving less than 8F (a probably false report about a Medjool date palm). They are pretty pricey if you buy a mature specimen because they grow very slowly, but seeds are VERY readily available and germinate quickly and easily. That being said, they are easy to find, grow from seed, or replace, so go for it.:) You may also consider attempting to find a suckering plant as the suckers tend to protect each other from cold snaps, and only one of the stems needs to live to preserve the plant and shoot off more suckers.

HOUSE TOUR | An Enchanting Dallas Home Inspired by New England Design
Q
Comments (4)
I like the exterior of the house very much. However, astroturf and no trees in the backyard would be a dealbreaker for me. There aren’t even any vines climbing up the white vinyl fencing or plants in pots; it looks like a motel pool. I know trees create a mess for a pool, we’ve had pools with nearby trees but you just have to deal with that. The interior of the house struck me as a little boring and by the book. I liked her wallpaper choices but the overall spaces, individually or in combination, did not wow. The family room in particular looked underfurnished— which may be the first time I’ve ever thought that about one of these videos. The scale of everything in that room seemed off, with no cohesive design. It may look completely different in person but the whole house doesn’t look quite finished, like it was decorated by someone with a ”passion” but no training or expertise. That said, I think she is one of the nicest hosts of this type video.

Backsplash Inspirations for Dallas White Granite Countertops

the kitchen looks small......I would put a white tile splash in there. pick a shape to get the eyes to see a detail rather than the pantry door in the middle of this smallish kitchen. and pick pendants with some sort of flair......some good looking hardware. You can put details in w these sorts of things but keep the overall tones in the white palette. [how in the heck did you end up w the pantry like that?] .

I also loved watching both episodes and hate to see the season end....Can't wait to see the look on "bad Daddy" Cliff's face when he hears about the wedding....John Ross is his father's son, for sure.......

And I agree about Judth Light...She'll show them.........

I sitll can't figure out how/why Cliff gave the okay for the explosion knowing that Pam was on that rig. She could have died - would he truly kill his own daughter? Something's up there, I think. I remember back in the old days when Cliff was a sad sack that you felt sorry for. I just don't see that Cliff not caring for his daughter.

Pam had it right when she said that Cliff's hatred for the Ewings was greater than his love for her. He was hoping that the explosion would kill the babies--he didn't want Ewing babies in his family.

Two episodes?? I only saw the one - where Pam got her Aunt's
share of EO and the guy that set the explosive took off. After that one, the show Monday Morning came on, although they did
start showing the lead in to Dallas. I wonder is some areas are not showing Monday Morning, which is also a good show.

When Pam asked JR-jr what he wanted, and he gave her that stare, I had a feeling it would be the only way to get close enough to her shares, or to her father. When he asked if she loves him, or is just doing this to get to her father, she didn't give a straight answer....of course.

I love this show! Emma is a real problem.
