Which would be fine for a British dramedy or a Jane Austen adaptation (and her stoner character Odessa on the Connors), but it really does not work for a campy melodrama like Dynasty. It's funny they bobbled Amanda twice. (Amanda on the OG show only had like a two-season run because she just wasn't that popular as a character.) The actress seems super-nice on her Instagram (and I liked her character Odessa on the Connors) so I feel bad for not being sold on Amanda yet. LOL. It's really not even on Eliza- she's a pretty experienced actress going by her IMDB but I don't think campy melodrama is for her. It's the same thing I thought about James MacKay as Steven. (My god, will they EVER bring back that character? Every time there's a tall gorgeous brunette guy on the show I think about how he could play Steven. Especially when Luke Cook showed up.) Anyway, Fallon calling Luke a frat boy was kind of funny, because everything about Liam/Adam Huber screams frat boy. LOL.

She was not good, and rather than recast for a third time, they wrote the character out forever mid-way through the season without even a good bye scene. I do think there is kind of a lack of energy with the current Amanda, and I hope that pairing her up with Adam helps bring out something in her. I did laugh when Blake asked if Adam had killed the nurse that was speaking to the reporter as a way to handle the bad press. It was the way Blake said it, as though the expectation is that Adam is just going to murder his way out of a problem.

Unless, of course, Fallon discovers that he moved to Eva's! Let us know if you find anything out. Eva is definitely a loose string. I have to assume Liam will be back at some point to follow up.

She's a blah character, the psycho assistant of Fallon's would have been better choice. Anders leaving Kirby that info to attack Blake is so out of character.

Maybe it's the vestiges of her quarantine 15. "Atlanta is basically Hollywood East." That's hilariously absurd. Sorry, not sorry, TP. Lol, Adam took the cookies back. Take that, Amanda. Eva continues to be utterly diabolical. Fallon will destroy her when she figures out what Eva has been doing to help wreck her marriage. Seriously Fallon? Like that woo-woo marriage counselor couldn't have simply googled her to find pictures of Fallon and her real husband. What are the odds Liam will show up and catch Fallon and Colin in flagrante on her desk, courtesy of Eva? (Well, I ended up surprised Eva missed that move but she recovered later.) S4E21: "Billionaire of the people"? Ugh, Dynasty writers, let's not. Does Michael Michele have a wonky eye? Something looked off to me about her left one, especially when she was meeting with the divorce attorney. Liam taking the blame for Fallon's habit of treating him like an afterthought made me mad. Such b.s. Oh Fallon, it's pretty much impossible to put the cat back into the bag. You have no boundaries with Eva left to redeploy. Of course Brady and Alexis are working together. Soap Opera 101. Cristal isn't the power behind the throne, she is the power apparently. Egomaniac Blake has no clue that he's basically her puppet now. And of course Kirby had another copy of Ander's dirt file on Blake. No way would she give up such a huge security blanket. Not sure why she performed that bit of theater for Culhane though. Gosh, looks like Jeff's brain is pretty far gone. Dominique was horrified to walk in on all his bizarre scribbled plans. Adam will save him! 🙄 Eva is straight up psycho. Poor Liam.

Every other character I can see as being expendable in this version of Dynasty, even Blake and Alexis. It's always been that way, for better or worse.

Speaking of show's leaving, I'm guessing Alan Dale must have wanted to leave but struck some compromise with all these dumb little cameos to satisfy his contract.

I loved Alexis' red dress at the campaign event but thought the red gloves were overkill. On reddit they're spectaculating that Adam put on a red dress and blonde wig before he tossed the doctor over the railing. But if Alexis was already at the party that doesn't really work. Poor Jeff. Did he shoot Culhane or not? I wasn't sure by Culhane's reaction whether he was hit. At such close range I would've expected his body to at least have flinched. Maybe the bullet hit Fallon instead? Why wasn't Adam rendering medical help to Fallon? Guess they didn't want anyone blocking the shot of her dramatically sprawled out on the floor. 🙄 Now that I've seen the episode I stand by my bet on the WTD? thing. Fallon could still be pregnant but the gunshot could end or seriously compromise it. At this point a pregnancy might not even be evident yet.

I remain convinced that the showrunners at the time were trying to bring a darker tone to this show to make it more like Revenge but it didn't last long and by early season 3 we were back towards the light-hearted camp.

DXD526 October 5, 2021 Share October 5, 2021 Good finale! Loved all the homages to the original show. Alexis being walked to her cell with catcalls from the other prisoners! She was even wearing a ridiculous dress with a big shoulder bow! And someone dressing up as her to commit murder is also a throwback. In the original, to get revenge on Alexis, Neal McVane put on a cape and fright wig and pushed Mark Jennings from a balcony. She spent the first few episodes of S5 in jail. If Adam didn't do the deed himself, he at least knows who did. It will be interesting to see how they manage to keep him on the show, if they plan to. In the original, he did try to kill Jeff and then frame Alexis for it, and she somehow forgave him and he stayed around, so who knows? Anything is possible in Dynastyland. I hope he sticks around, I've become fond of Adam, much to my surprise. He's fun, as long as he's not pushing people into fireplaces. It's true that Fallon getting shot isn't much of a cliffhanger. She's probably the show's only indispensable character. If it were anyone else, there would be a question as to their survival, but there's no way she's getting killed off. I hope not, I always find her amusing. I've grown to like Cristal III, too. I was into the concept of a new Crystal and a new way to spell it every season, but I really like this third incarnation.

Kaiju Ballet October 6, 2021 Share October 6, 2021 I've warmed up to Crystal 3.0 too, although most of the time I think her clothing and makeup aren't flattering. The actress probably does the best job out of all the Crystals to work off of whoever else is in the scene, so you can believe that they're really connecting and forming a bond. It's very Alan Dale-like, which is why I will miss Anders as a character. A big shoutout to the casting for Alexis and Dominique. They are enjoyable to watch onscreen, especially together, and the divalicious makeup, hair, styling is on point. That's what's missing for Crystal. Alexis, Dominique and of course Fallon are always red-carpet/runway/editorial photo-ready, while Crystal doesn't seem to prioritize or enjoy being in the spotlight. And it helps that Alexis and Fallon look like they are RL mother/daughter. Amanda is starting to be ok, but I think it's more the character than the actress. Her Fallon's been missing a friend/confidante, and Adam has needed a new reason to keep on his toes. Her styling is all over the place though. ITA that they need to recast Stephen and bring him back. I totally stan Fallon/EG, which is why I lament what the writers have been doing to her character. Way back in Season one, she was a lot savvier, smarter and badass than she is now. It's almost like they've taken all those smarts and put it into the Amanda character, and declawed Fallon as a result. She should have been able to destroy Eva without thinking twice, or know that she could. I used to be Team Liam, but they've dumbed down his character so much that I'm wondering if next season will be about them getting back together-- only so that Fallon comes to realize "you know what? You're right, Liam--you're not deserving of me"! Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/89546-dynasty-2017-general-discussion/page/13/#findComment-7045687

She's probably the show's only indispensable character......... Unless she takes the Anders Role and becomes a ghost to everyone during Season Five, which is likely to be its last.

But if Alexis was already at the party that doesn't really work......... This works better than Amanda becoming the second homicidal maniac Carrington child. I'm looking forward the the flashback of Adam telling Dr Scientist Do-Gooder to hang on one moment while he makes some calls, only to reappear in one of her red gowns and ratty wigs. Dr Scientist Do-Gooder has no clue what is about to happen, as he takes in the amazing balcony view. He turns around, bewiildered, argues and battles loudly. And Adam kills again. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/89546-dynasty-2017-general-discussion/page/13/#findComment-7067087
methodwriter85 October 20, 2021 Share October 20, 2021 (edited) I found this 2018 video of Sam Underwood doing some kind of stage version of Dirty Dancing and he gets mad props for this. Boy can move! (He's not quite strong enough to do the lift as Patrick did but otherwise it's really good.) I love him doing the New York accent. LOL.

snarkysnarkerson October 22, 2021 Share October 22, 2021 That fight scene between Eva and Fallon was edited together horribly. OMG. You could totally see Fallon’s stunt double a few times in the back and forth, and I died.

I know the CW renews everything, but I am really impressed this show is making it to the 100th episode. Not that it matters that much anymore because syndication isn't what it used to be (and their steaming deal with Netflix might prevent it) but still, a ton of reboots haven't had the run this one has had like Dallas, which you know TNT probably threw way more money into it than the CW did for Dynasty.

OG Dynasty was infamous for the same sloppy editing on their fight scenes, so much so that The Big Gay Sketch Show did a skit parodying just how bad it got at times...

SanDiegoInExile November 17, 2021 Share November 17, 2021 Go figure.... Netflix just started releasing its most viewed programs, On the TV side, with 21M "hours viewed" is Dynasty - Season 4. It had been in the Top Ten for 4 weeks. Also, it made the Top 10 in TV in 44 countries on Netflix Maybe the show will go beyond the CW-typical 5-years-and-out plan. https://top10.netflix.com/tv.html 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/89546-dynasty-2017-general-discussion/page/13/#findComment-7122841
SanDiegoInExile December 18, 2021 Share December 18, 2021 Season 5 debuts Monday December 20 with a two-episode "event". At least that is how the CW is hyping it. They really must not care at all about ratings, to launch the new season in a holiday week. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/89546-dynasty-2017-general-discussion/page/13/#findComment-7182566
