[QUOTE="Mustard, post: 135829, member: 46"] Agreed. What makes some people like Season 10 DVD is the nostalgia. For example, Pam is living at Southfork for the first time since Season 6 DVD, and it has all the Dallas legends together (minus Jim Davis and Charlene Tilton) one last time. But personally, despite liking this nostalgia to an extent, I thought the season was much worse compared to how events developed after Bobby's death in Season 9 DVD. Wallowing in nostalgia searching for past glories is not the way to build for the future, even though it was the last good Dallas season because of the old team all being there one last time. They were scared to kill Pam off, because of what they did with Bobby. The fans would be cynical, too. I'm doing a Dallas marathon at the moment. The last episode I watched last night was the one with Angelica's bombs blowing up Jamie and Sue Ellen instead of Jack and J.R., and then Pam waking up and Bobby being in the shower. Now for the last 5 seasons. It's going to jar, as it always does, at a season's worth of storylines never happening, and those cliffhangers having no resolutions. When I was watching Swansong, I made a particular point to remember precisely what the storylines were at that moment before the dream started, for future reference. I read an article earlier today from the Chicago Tribune, dated from 1989, and apparently Larry Hagman was getting bored with the same routines year after year with J.R. Ewing on Dallas, which kind of suggests that this is why J.R. was dumbed down a bit. And it was the Lorimar boss who convinced him to become an Executive Producer on Dallas in 1988 alongside Leonard Katzman, with Larry Hagman asking "why should I do it?" and the boss replying "because you'll make lots of money". I was thinking, what a mess. Even Hagman obviously wasn't convinced that he was an Executive Producer. Then again, if Hagman was getting bored with the same routines, why destroy the change in dynamics brought about by Bobby's death and the season without Bobby? He obviously missed Patrick Duffy more than any boredom with routines, and didn't want Dack Rambo stepping into Duffy's shoes. [/QUOTE]
