Message: <blockquote data-quote="Crimson" data-source="post: 400074" data-attributes="member: 5079">I don't like any proposed scenario other than a Dream. Any explanation offered on this forum through the years to explain how Bobby didn't actually die but was rather whisked away and placed into hiding is too contrived, too hoary, even for a soap. He died on screen. We saw the Ewings mourn him in private. . This isn't like Dusty or Mark, who 'died' off screen. Bobby's death was a complete boxed in scenario. It's the Kobayashi Maru. The only way to get passed it is to bypass it. (I'm not a STAR TREK fan, so I'm impressed I know that reference.)I don't hate the Dream resolution, I just think it was very badly executed.  For doing something so bold and risky, the producers and writers should have been much more cautious in how they executed it.   Since I thoroughly dislike S9, I'm happy to see it invalidated.   Given a choice, your idea of the Dream being Bobby's rather than Pam's makes more sense but I'd take either of them over a non-Dream resolution.I haven't seen S10 since probably the 90s and my memories of it are getting dim.  I think it was a step back  in the right direction, but also not as good as the seasons prior to S9.And all of the above is why I consider this to be the definitive end of DALLAS.  Everything else is apocrypha in my head. I don't even own anything past S8.[ATTACH=full]53256[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
