Trouble is, I only remember Carter having a son (Tommy) and a daughter (Tracey), but continuinty hasn't always been Dallas' strength.<br /> #2 - Rebecca eating Chinese Food. Her daddy must be so proud!<br /> #3 -The Ewing Oil/Energy offices are indeed in the Ewing Oil #1 building featured in the first (let's say) seven seasons which is a very nice touch. However, I believe their offices always faced away from the city towards a rail line. A nice nod, but another continuity error of sorts.<br /> #4 -Rebecca being Afton and Cliff's daughter. I always knew this was coming. Pamela Rebecca Barnes is named after Cliff's sister Pam and Cliff/Pam's mother Rebecca Wentworth. Funnily enough, if Christopher weren't adopted he'd be married to his cousin! This could lead to lots of great twists that bring Afton, Mitch and even Katherine Wentworth back on the show! It also sets the show up with many of the same dynamics as Bobby marrying a Barnes in 1978.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09226673128461031475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-70383395529636517922012-08-09T23:28:42.425-04:002012-08-09T23:28:42.425-04:00Loving the show but something has to be done about...Loving the show but something has to be done about all the commercials.

And that TNT's DALLAS picks up where the original series left off. I think the movies never happened in this iteration of DALLAS. Otherwise, Christopher would obviously know Pamela Rebecca. Cidre said in a new interview today that she didn't think fans would guess because she used Pamela's middle name. I'm not sure she remembers (or thinks we'd remember) that Cliff and Pam's mother was Rebecca, a very famous name in the show's history.Roger Newcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17605713149480918249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-23236791608351897622012-08-09T12:01:54.039-04:002012-08-09T12:01:54.039-04:00First I thought it was odd her name was rebecca.

But, my concern was that in the 1997 movie was Pamela Rebecca, and how close she was with Christopher and John Ross. Are we supposed to believe that the 2 movies never happened and it was another dream? <br /><br />This is what Cliff wanted to begin with (in 1978), he wanted Pam to be the Family spy, but she refused. She fell hard for Bobby and even had to compete with Jenna Wade (Morgan Fairchild, then Priscilla Presley).outviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11463619373631606176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-77770529142823696682012-08-09T10:42:38.445-04:002012-08-09T10:42:38.445-04:00Its was great!!Its was great!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04975814456726748794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-35930759404306308792012-08-09T10:37:22.682-04:002012-08-09T10:37:22.682-04:00I had a feeling Rebecca might be Cliff's daugh...I had a feeling Rebecca might be Cliff's daughter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
