Message: <blockquote data-quote="Willie Oleson" data-source="post: 32007" data-attributes="member: 8">Her last scene with Sable seemed very underplayed, the opposite of her mega-dramatic last scene on "The Thorn Birds", but still there was the same sense of victory and superiority.Indeed!There are a thousand reasons why they shouldn't have done it, but there's something perversely exciting about it. As a tv event, I mean.Story-wise it was a disaster, although it mostly affected what happened before the dream, I think.I can watch the dream season as an exotic stand-alone, spin-offy thing.Maybe it's easier to process when the story is over, especially after so many years. I had never seen The Colbys season 2 on tv, so I honestly don't know how I would have reacted to that cliffhanger.But I loved the twist with Angelica's bombs, Sue Ellen's situation being the most significant. I found it very exciting when I watched it on tv, but, ironically (in hindsight, after so many years) I don't think it was a good cliffhanger.If she had survived the explosion, then it would have been just as lame as Richard and Maggie surviving their mega-explosion on Falcon Crest (The Kiss that should have triggered the earthquake).At the same time I didn't want these characters to die, so it was sort of a no-win situation to me.</blockquote>
