[QUOTE="ArchieLucasCarringtonEwing1989, post: 35166, member: 95"] I kinda remember most of what I wrote in the original posting on the old forum, so please bear with me, this was my favourite post and a number of people liked it too, so I thought I'd revive for Snarky....ahem...I mean UnPrincipled especially ;-) so I am going to write it again and add some more thoughts, forgive me it's not in its entirety, I may save posts into notes in future. As I remember saying Dynasty, like the 80s overall, had an obsession with the 1950s-60s era Even though that those two decades are so completely different from each other they may as well be in different planets, after all the year 1951 has nothing in common with the year 1968 so I'm going to narrow this down to the years 1955-1964, the 70s on the other hand where completely ignored during that period in time (the years 1970-74 was sort of nostalgic in the mid to late 80s probably due to the fact that it was still "the sixties" albeit an extended bit) and similarily Dynasty also ignored the 70s, Dynasty never once explained anything that might've happened from the time Alexis was banished from Denver in 1964 to when Krystle arrived in 1978, just two and a bit years before she married Blake. We know that Kirby left Denver for France in the mid 70s, it seems that she was gone away for some years before her return in 1982, but aside from this nothing. Blake can't have been a lonely batchelor for 14 years and grieving the loss of his marriage to Alexis, early Blake was brusque in his manner and he rose above things. Interestingly in season 9 Fallon mentions to Krystle that she alone brought them more closer as a family than they ever could have, this statement means to me that Blake hardly ever saw his children when they were teenagers. So what could Blake have been doing all those years before Krystle? Someone mentioned on the old forum that Blake and Alexis marriage matched an idealised time in America's history as they were married roughly around the Americana years, again I place this era to be mid 1950s to Kennedy's assassination/aftermath in 1963-64 when after that the sixties really "began".
