Dallas Takapa, Welcome, Conclusion Theme

[@danielreid3476]

One of the most unintentionally funny scenes in TV history! "I am Takapa"! Jock was so badass!!

[@melissagahn]

"I am Takapa!" That line gives me a chill every time I hear Jock Ewing (Jim Davis) say it. I miss him and this show. Rest in Peace, Jim.

[@Jo_Lubi]

I totally agree! I'm watching just that episode right now and it's one of Jocks most iconic words in the series. I've got the Dallas dvd box and I'm going to have an all seasons marathon for the third time 😅 I really miss that show 🙌 It's my best childhood memory! Jock was a hell of an actor! But my favourite character is of course J.R Ewing 😂 He's the best actor ever!

[@peacethroughstrength172]

I hear ya! He was able to play the role of the man because they were brought up that way in a time where thats how men were. Nothing compared to nowadays thats for damn sure!

[@melissagahn]

@@Jo_Lubi I agree with you on both aspects. :) I miss this show, too.

[@melissagahn]

@@peacethroughstrength172 Yes, women were seen, not heard, and never did they ever go against their husbands. like Miss Ellie said in one episode to Jock, "You believe the woman's place is 2 steps behind the man, except when walking through a minefield." What a show, what great actresses and actors they had. RIP Barbara (Miss Ellie), Jock, (Jim Davis), JR (Larry Hagman), Cliff Barnes, (Ken Kercheval), and everyone else from this fantastic show that have passed.

[@hardren101]

"Isn't everybody"....Jr comedic timing, priceless!!!

[@nrkgalt]

He looked down at Sue Ellen after saying that. He must have been thinking of Dusty Farlow.

[@hardren101]

@@SeanRankin2 Lol...WIth the exception of JR.......In this moment i believe Miss. Ellie was sour on Ray but only b/c she was still processing learning he was jocks love child. While she pretended to take it in stride.....It's one thing to know about Jock's affair n very much another to learn that affair produced an offspring that has been a part of her household for years. She eventually came to accept it once she had a chance to put the matter in perspective b/c prior to learning the truth, Miss. Ellie and Ray shared a mutual trust n respect for one another (While she excluded JR from ownership of SF, it was revealed in the re-boot that she had a codicil in her will that stated upon JR's death 50% of SF was to be deeded to John Ross).

I would give anything to be back in the 1970s and 1980s and know what I know now!

[@margaretsimpson1372]

You could tell Jim Davis was sick in this scene. A great character actor. Loved the TV series, but it changed when he passed away. He was such an important part of Dallas. The buck stopped with him.

[@jdtractorman7445]

I agree, the show lost a lot of momentum when he passed away. I have to wonder if the series would have lasted longer if he was present throughout the whole run of the show. I think it's the main reason why the producers carried on so long with the fight for control of Ewing oil between Bobby and J.R. in the following season.

[@conithomson4409]

Jock Was so handsome!

[@jonchaney]

The dude rocked that character. Nobody could replace him as jock.

[@hardren101]

AMEN!!!...Davis was extremely well cast as he was to Jock Ewing what Hagman was to Jr.....Had been around the industry for years b4 he wld become known n idolized for Jock Ewing....."So i gave you Power, if did give u pwr....U got NOTHIN.....REAL power is something you TAKE!!!!....never did a line fit a character so perfectly!!!!

Brilliant comment by Sue Ellen right at the end

[@dpstudents3878]

I always knew in the first few seasons when the episode was ready to end without looking at a clock or watch. Everyone always seemed to have a drink after sixty minutes of drama.

[@SaxonC]

It’s so funny that everyone remembers and imitates Jock’s declaration, “I am Takapa!”

[@corneliuswhite5139]

I literally came looking for it!😉

[@Patrick-tx9rh]

I used to impersonate Jock back then when I was a kid and my mother didn’t like that! 🤣

[@SaxonC]

@@Patrick-tx9rh how funny! lol 😂 for years, I would imitate the old comedian Phil Silvers when he was a guest star on “Gilligan’s Island “!when he yelled “BREAD! I BRING YOU BREAD!!” Alone when he makes fun of Ginger’s audition. My mother would get so mad because I would do it spontaneously and loud! My father would laugh 😂

[@hardren101]

By this time Davis's illness had begun to rapidly progress....Their marital woes were intended to last longer, but were forced to rap the storyline expeditiously.....By the time of his last appearance...He is only shown for seconds n he was sitting (in the limo) n only had 1 line....He past days after.

[@johanbrand8601]

WHAT IS TAKAPA

[@hardren101]

For me it was never Jock's declaration that I remembered.....it was the color draining from Mrs.Elle's face n the raw emotion she took the viewer through in a span of 5 secs n one word "what?".....VERY FINE ACTING.....She nailed it!!!....Howard Keel shared that bel geddes did not return for S14 b/c she was dissatisfied with the material she was given (or not given) in S13.

[@laminage]

Donna, Ray, Christopher and in her own way Jenna were "Tolerated" but not accepted. Donna never bought into The Ewing Status and she certainly didn't need The Ewings for her own success, she got it on her own.

[@warrenhoffman2006]

With some help from Sam Culver.

[@reinholdkorner6473]

Miss Ellie ist die beste 😍👍👍👍

[@tonyatmidnight]

It's a shame Donna's relationships within the Ewing family was never really fully developed. She was the cool, calm, collected one among the more passionate and emotionally-driven Ewing women, but that temperance was never really utilized to create conflict or strengthen bonds with her sisters-in-law. She was Ellie's best friend, but her relationships with both Sue Ellen and Pam were never of prime importance in who Donna was; instead, she was part of a couple, her stories primarily revolving around her marriage to Ray. It made sense that Donna was an "outsider" so to speak, and above involving herself with Sue Ellen and Pam's emotional rollercoaster rides, but women's interrelationships were not really a major part of Dallas' fabric, which was first and foremost a masculine show. Donna would have benefited from KNOTS LANDING's approach in examining female relationships.

Looking back, I think that Miss Ellie was a Environmentalist before it became part of the Vernacular. She always loved the land and she never wanted it "Spoiled".

[@srb9]

True.

[@jokerz7936]

Both her Husbands and her sons made their livings in the Oil Business so I wouldn't exactly call her an Environmentalist. I think the more proper term would be Conservationist.

[@Autigers2013]

This kind of pissed me off at Ms. Ellie, because Jock was so understanding when Ellie had her fling with the developer guy, and she treated Jock like crap here. But as I look back Ellie was patient with Jock when he had his fling with Julie Grey, and when he confessed about Margaret. I guess she finally thought how many more skeletons was gonna fall out of his closer!

[@johnhaas3270]

I’m later years they painted him to be some kind of Angel with honesty and high morals. That was far from the truths. He was ruthless and cold.. The only difference between him and JR is that Jock was more old school and direct. JR was fake and conniving.
