Dynasty Season 3 Volume 1:Alexis Becomes a Colby and Here's Adam! November 20, 2008
Like other Dynasty fans,not happy that season three has been released in 2 parts which does push the price up.
However this is a great season which sees long lost son Adam(Gordon Thomson)join the cast,Gordon Thomson was actually 37 years old,whereas Adam is meant to be 25,this allegedly led Joan Collins to tell Thomson,he was far too old to be her son!
Adam takes an instant dislike to brother in law Jeff(John James)and in one of Dynasty's most bizarre storylines,redecortates Jeff's office with lead paint,meant for boats,poor old Jeff starts to behave very oddily and attacks Joseoph(Lee Bergere)
Gordon Thomson is great though as Adam,he has a wicked look that sets your blood cold,the rape scene when Adam rapes newcomer Kirby(Kathleen Beller) is very disturbing viewing,Kirby really becomes the Dynasty victim while Claudia(Pamela Bellwood)is set to a sanitaruim.
Joan Collins'Alexis marries Cecil(Lloyd Bochner)on his deathbed,and gets the fortune essential to get her revenge on Blake(John Forsythe)Miss Collins looks great this season.
The marvellous Fallon(Pamela Sue Martin)gets her kidnapped son back and gets the La Mirage hotel,Krsytle's ex Mark(Geoffrey Scott)joins as a tennis pro,we see British actor Simon McCorkindale,briefly,he turned down a regular role in Dynasty,to do a Jaws3 film,which was a flop,he later joined "Falcon Crest".
Steven(now Jack Coleman)is badly burned in an oil rig explosion,we have to wait to see the new look Steven in vol2,also the classic lily pond catfight between Alexis and Kryslte(Linda Evans),can't wait!.........
When the going gets tough... Alexis goes that step further! October 1, 2008

I'm surprised to be the first reviewer for this title as, although a Dynasty fan, I much prefer the later season's to the early 80's episodes which take place before the show really found its (crazy) groove!
This is officially the third season of Dynasty, but to fans its actually the second - Dynasty didn't become Dynasty until Alexis arrived and that only happended at the start of the second series.
Season 3 see's the cast expanded from being mostly family (ie. Carrington) based to included many interlopers including Krystle's leetchy first husband Mark; the butlers daughter Kirby; the return of Sammy-Jo (yay!) and the arrival of evil Adam (boo!).
There are of course endless classic Dynasty 'moments' to be had as the series rolls though such as mad-bad Claudia dropping Fallon's baby off the top of a sky-scraper (only its not a baby, but a doll that Claudia thought was her baby); Cecil's hospital bed death, minutes after marrying Alexis and then stating in his will she can only have her full inheritance if she provides him an heir (ha!); plus Steven dying (but not), Blake's all-consuming search for him after the explosion and Adam re-decorating Jeff's office walls with poisonous paint (in a nasty shade of blue too!).
Its only a shame that in a (shocking) attempt to dig more cash out of the show's loyal fans, that the season is being released in TWO stages hence the volume 1 on the title. The price remains the same, comparable with a full season of Dallas (Dynasty's main competition) but you only get half the episodes and then buy the rest later for the same price - sounds like scheme Alexis would think up, doesn't it?
'Ooh Krystle, you look so elegant... I hardly recognised you!'.
However, for the above line alone - its worth the cash! ENJOY!!
