[QUOTE="xab, post: 289704, member: 925"] Dallas season 11 (perDVD) was the last "serious" season. It made sense in the history of Dallas : the struggle for regaining Ewing Oil, Bobby's fight for his son etc. Familly, business, it still tasted like Dallas, genuinely, whatever the circumstances ( let's remember a Writer's guild strike was hitting Hollywood by this time...) Season 12 turned the show into a sitcom after the " Southfork war". This plot, strong, wild, powerful, not so far from Dallas western roots, should have been the climax the season should have been built upon (the way season 6 around Jock's will was) All events leading to a Moldavia massacre, but in Dallas style. But we had very weak stuff after that. Another big missed opportunity : Sue-Ellen's movie didn't lead us anywhere, just like didn't Casey'revenge... All storyline were pointless... (who cared for the McKay before Cynthia Cidre did ...?) I was too involved into Dallas to ask for a full stop. But let's face it : Barbara Eden's appearance for Larry's fan service had nothing to do with Dallas... The show should have ended with JR stuck in that asylum... [/QUOTE]
