[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 340069, member: 57984"] Where would you have ended the original DALLAS? I'm sympathetic to the argument that Bobby's short-lived death in 1985 was a proper stopping point, especially in light of how the series stumbled -- repeatedly -- during the last half of its run. But I, for one, would have hated to have missed Season 10 with its outrageous resurrection of "Jock" and the terrorism campaign of B. D. Calhoun.... Sure, I wish the doomed Donna Reed debacle had never occurred, and that Bobby was revived without the dream scenario, but I [I][B]still [/B][/I]didn't want to miss Season 10. So, me, myself and I (who talk frequently) am torn between Pam's crash exit (metaphorically careening into a tanker on a highway in the badlands) being the end of the show, or possibly concluding Sue Ellen shooting JR in Alexis' high-rise building because Season 11, though flawed and ill-paced, was the last year that felt even remotely like DALLAS. (I would have the tanker that took out Pam to be revealed to have been coincidentally owned by JR, doing illegal business after Ewing Oil was slapped down by the feds -- a fact JR spends much of S11 running around trying to keep from Bobby, until Bobby inevitably finds out and then finds himself also trying to hide this to protect the family and prevent further censure from the government). Or maybe Sue Ellen leaving Texas once-and-for-all at the end of Season 12 (especially if her "movie" plotline had been done more seriously and with less shlocky improbability). When would you have ended DALLAS -- would you have stuck it out all the way through "Conundrum" as most viewers refused to do??
