[QUOTE="the-lost-son, post: 321347, member: 672"] Dallas is truly a special, groundbreaking TV series. The first episode I watched was the B-B-Q when Jock's helicopter crashed in a 90s rerun. But for most episodes I had to wait for the DVDs. Dallas is really special to me. It mirrors real life in a way that's hard to describe. I love these silent scenes where you get soaked into a character (e.g. SE finding JR with Holly Harwood). There are many real life experiences where I can appreciate the character work and the sense of family they have put into the series. On Christmas Eve my mother died (suddenly, without any indications) with my brother and myself at her bedside. (We brought our father home because we didn't know how long it would take.) After she passed away, we left the hospital to our parents' house to give dad the news. I felt like the Ewing boys - when they told Miss Ellie the news about their unsuccessful search for Jock. Standing there, not able to digest the events myself and having to tell the sad truth. Six weeks later our father died. Suddenly and unexpected again, my brother and myself at his bedside. After that I fell apart, like JR after Jock died. It took me weeks to function the way I do now. Just like JR who found new motivation. The people in charge of Dallas created something unique. And although it's only fiction, it helped me. The values Dallas portrays are timeless - family, passion, love. [/QUOTE]
