"I'm liking the parallel being drawn between David and Adam. Both of them now seem to be country boys who got to the top of big business by their own intelligence, ambition and resourcefulness. David as the black sheep of his Big Oil Bidness family, a blend of all three of the Ewing brothers (Gary's vices, Bobby's sweetness and JR's ruthlessness), works for me! I'll DIE if I hear Vincent's southern drawl again! Perhaps when his great uncle dies, David's windfall will be huge!"
But Lubbock isn't oil country, is it? So I don't know if that scenario will work for us anymore--we may have to find a new one. LOL Or maybe the writers don't much care and will make it oil country anyway.
David seemed to be drawing a picture of a sprawling back-country family today, existing smack in the middle of nowhere. Which was a direct (and I'm sure intended by the writers) counterpoint to his quoting Tolstoy--so sophisticated and cultured--which is anything but what you'd expect from an ole country boy. So something is not matching up here. Either today was a complete fabrication--from Texas to the family--or David has one weird background. I'm 50/50 on it--I can see the story go either way at this point!
