[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 350669, member: 57984"] Although much of what they did in Season 9 was window dressing. Yes, the single scene where Bobby explained to Pam that she had dreamed 31 episodes was reductive, and it was jarring for the show to pick up -- very roughly -- where it had left off a year earlier. But Donna & Ray's venture through Disabled Baby Land was PC and didn't ring true, Jack dating Jenna didn't work, and now just what was Jamie's storyline while Pam was snoozing? If anything, I prefer their Season 10 plotlines, although brevity of the dream resolution was obviously harmful and corrosive. Also, Larry wasn't fond of Dack who "spray-paints on his jeans" and Katzman was ready to cull Susan Howard from the cast because she'd been publicly critical of his choice to utilize the dream explanation (placing her in all-black for the Ewing Barbecue, filmed during the dead of Texas summer, and having her stay at "The Arlington Suite" in Washington reveals Uncle Lenny's "this star is fading fast!" intentions for her). Jamie was actually revived from her car bomb by Katzman, only to be killed off a again a few months later so Cliff could inherit part of the company. I didn't mind the shift in their storylines particularly, except for how quickly they occurred. But as an actor, you probably wouldn't like getting fired -- or having to pretend one year of plotting, however questionable, never happened.
