[QUOTE="Bobby Southworth, post: 444609, member: 4960"] Whoa. Hold up..Jock killed himself? Now that I've read it, it does sound familiar, but..why? and also..yeah, right! It just goes to show how put off I was by this episode; I probably really only paid that much attention the first time, and then kinda just watched it for the sake of what it was any time there after. I still think it was a terrible way for the show to end, but as I've gotten older, a part of me wonders..did they really do the wrong thing with J.R's character? No, it's not what anyone really wanted to see, but..after all of the terrible things he did without any real remorse, it seems like karma, to an extent. As the article points out, though, it's not just in the concept, but how it was handled. Some of their lives were worse without him..which..my first instinct would be to agree with the article, but..I mean, I suppose that's again somehow realistic, though. Most things aren't usually that black or white. You'd think their lives would all be better, but not even every single bad deed that he committed had just a negative impact, at least when you look at the entire ripple effect of the action, how it could have affected other people, peripherally- and that's just speaking of the bad things(yes, there were a few of those, though.. :lol: ) I agree with I think Miss Ellie passing probably would have been better than what we actually got, and maybe would have made sense, considering Barbara was done with the role, but it's not an ending I really would have wanted for Dallas.
