[QUOTE="ArchieLucasCarringtonEwing1989, post: 12679, member: 95"] Ive been watching bits of Dallas again and I'm watching season 9, this season was really good, I know it became known as the year "Dallas went full on Dynasty" but take that aside it was a pretty decent season. I find usually when a major character dies in a long running series it continues to evolve the characters and develops them further and takes the series in a new direction, Chase's death in Falcon Crest did this and it did rejuvenate the series, Bobbys's death does the same in Dallas. We get new romances in the form of Pam and Mark, Pam makes peace with Jenna and JR, JR and Sue Ellen put the past behind them, and actually make a happy marriage, Ellie finally realises that she can't lose JR and we see that she does love him, Jack is a worthy replacement for Bobby, and Jamie is a worthy replacement for Lucy (until she dies, which I'm quite sad about I actually though Jamie was better utilised than Lucy by this point) and we do see that Cliff and Jamie make a good pairing, Angelica Nero was camp as f**k but the show did need a new villain worse than JR. Plus I thought the original plans for season 10 were way better than the season 10 we got in reality, Cliff swearing vengeance on JR and Jack for Jamie's death, Pam finding Mark dead in the shower and her starting a new romance with Jack, plus Mark's mysterious past which apparently caught up with him and would become a mystery for the Ewings to solve, The Wes Parmalee storyline having a proper conclusion, Pam becoming powerful more so than JR and a teen romance between Tony (Donna and Ray's adopted child) and Charlie Wade and Sue Ellen being in a wheelchair or blind. I honestly think Dallas was much better without Bobby by this point, he didn't need to come back at all, Dallas completely reversed in development, not just by a season, but several seasons, old storylines were being repeated, actors were lost during this season (VP, Susan Howard...) Because of the dream resolution, we may have had Pam on longer or she may have had a better ending with her, Jack and Christopher leaving Dallas at the end of s10 or ending the series at that point with Pam giving birth. I'm sure it's been said before but I'll say it again Bobby's needless return killed Dallas in a painful death that lasted 5 years.... [/QUOTE]
