Movie Reviews of Dynasty - Season Three, Vol. 1
Movie Review: "Let the "Dynasty" DVD's Roll Out!"
Summary: 5 Stars
I know there has been much controversy surrounding how Paramount is splitting the "Dynasty" DVD's into two volumes, but my attitude is that at least the studio is releasing them! I know it's more money for the consumer, but look at the shoddy way Fox released the first season of "Dynasty"; they released it and no other releases became available. Also, if we boycott Paramount's releases of "Dynasty" we risk the fact that the studio will pull any future releases and we die-hard fans don't want that to happen.
I have already purchased both volumes of "Dynasty Season 3" and Paramount has done another great job with the boxsets. The shows are picture perfect with wonderful audio and the shows themselves look like they were filmed yesterday. I also like the packaging of the dicks too.
"Dynasty" became the 5th highest rated show on network TV in the 1983-84 season and it was because of the great writing and acting of the cast. Joan Collins continued to be the great villin everyone loved even surpassing Larry Hagman's J.R., and there were some wonderful cast additions like hunk Geofrey Scott who played Krystal's ex-husband Mark Jennings, who became involved with both Fallon and Alexis!. The biggest addition is Gordon Thompson, fresh from his role on "Ryan's Hope", who arrives in Denver as Adam, Blake and Alexis' long-lost son kidnapped at birth. Adam became the male antagonist everyone loved to hate, even going so far as poisining Jeff and raping a girl. There's also a new Steven, Jake Coleman from "Days of our Lives". Although not my favorite Steven, Coleman eventually makes Steven his own. Heather Locklear also returns in a few episodes as Sammy Jo, playing the tramp to perfection.
This boxset contains the first 12 shows and ends with Sammy Jo arriving with a baby in tow at the Carrington mansion. "Dynasty" will always be the best primetime serial ever!
Summary of Dynasty - Season Three, Vol. 1
DYNASTY:SEASON 3 VOL 1 - DVD MovieSay what you will about Alexis Carrington (the inimitable Joan Collins in her signature role), but not even she at her greedy, manipulative, and scheming worst would have sanctioned the splitting of Dynasty's third season into two volumes. And this, mind you, is the woman hell bent on ruining the lives of ex-husband Blake Carrington (John Forsythe) and his "sweet" wife of two years, Krystle (Linda Evans), whom Alexis disdainfully calls, "the once and future secretary." To attain the money and power she needs to put her best laid plans into action, she compels a hospital bed wedding to her barely conscious fiancé, Cecil Colby (Lloyd Bochner), who has suffered a massive coronary ("We have to get back at Blake," she pleads). Later, she will uproot the life of Mark Jennings (Geoffrey Scott), Krystle's former husband, from whom?surprise, surprise?she is not legally divorced. Alexis is the straw that stirs this intoxicating cocktail, but Season Three of this era-defining prime time soap is its most intoxicating yet (and marked the show's emergence for the first time in the Nielsen ratings' Top Five). Dynasty distinguished itself from Dallas by putting business on the back burner, and turning up the heat on its characters' outrageous private lives. As the season begins, Jeff (John James) and Fallon's (Pamela Sue Martin) baby is still missing, leading to one of the series' all-time great OMG moments, as the undone Claudia (Pamela Bellwood) clutching what is apparently the baby, accidentally sends it plummeting off a rooftop. The biggest development this season is the introduction of Michael Torrence (Gordon Thomson), a Billings, Montana lawyer, who learns on his grandmother's deathbed that he is actually Blake and Alexis's first-born son, Adam Carrington, who was kidnapped as an infant. Turns out that as the tree is bent, so are the twigs. No sooner does Alexis set Adam up at ColbyCo then he pits himself against the good and decent Jeff and has his office redone with toxic paint. On the homefront, Fallon wants a divorce and, in a bid for self-actualization, takes over the "white elephant" La Miranda Hotel, where she meets and flirts with "Michael," not realizing he is her long lost sibling. Her discovery of his identity when Alexis introduces them is just another priceless moment that makes this season, and this set, essential for Dynasty fans. Too bad it tops out at 12 episodes, right about the time that Heather Locklear re-appears as Sammy Jo (that's Samantha to you), with the missing and presumed dead Steven's baby. Damn you, Paramount; just when things are really getting good. --Donald Liebenson
