Should season 9 have been JR's dream?

Hear me out.

Many have said here on the forum that season 9 should have been Bobby's coma dream, but maybe it should have been JR's?

Think about it.

1. Bobby is dead. JR now becomes the favorite son (at least on Southfork) by default. Miss Ellie FINALLY shows him some affection.

2. Pam sells Christopher's shares to JR, giving him total control of Ewing Oil , with no strings attached for the first time ever.

3. Pam marries Mark and "that Barnes woman" is out of the Ewing family forever.

4. JR gets Sue Ellen back for good and he finally has a happy marriage and a happy family.

5. JR gets to have sex with 3 beautiful women (Mandy, Angelica, and Sue Ellen) (and honestly, why would Pam - or anyone else spend so much time dreaming about JR getting busy in the sack).

So, kinda makes sense to me that if HAD to be a dream, it should have been JR's.

Well, JR certainly dreamed that Bobby and Sue Ellen got it on at the beginning of WAR OF THE EWINGS, so anything is possible --- except that Katzman wanted "blame" for the dream explanation, which they knew was coming, to be dumped on some woman, like the ex-wife he didn't like. But certainly not JR.

He'd have sooner have had Theresa blamed for The Dream. So would Cynthia Cidre on nuDALLAS but for the opposite reason -- that is, if Cidre had any idea who Theresa was.

Katzman was his own worst enemy. He let his personal ill feelings get in the way of his professional conduct. He wanted Philip Capice gone and total authority of the show.

The dream explanation ultimately ruined one of the finest drama series of all time. :(

Killing off Bobby in such a permanent way was the first mistake. A Coma should have happened.
Making JR a loser. And introducing those damn worthless Stephens sisters. Dumb.
