[QUOTE="CeeCee72, post: 337319, member: 5055"] I prefer season 9 (dream). Sue Ellen's recovery was so well done. We saw her hit rock bottom and climb out of alcoholism in a realistic and heart wrenching way. In season 10, she just "decided" to stop drinking because Mandy pissed her off by calling her old in a restaurant. Also, JR and Sue Ellen's reconciliation was a slow burn, with both coming to terms with the state of their marriage and their feelings for each other gradually. Season 10 was just like, "okay, BD Calhoun happens and BAM - back in love." The scenes of Miss Ellie dealing with her grief were so powerful. Pam and JR at Ewing Oil was incredible. Donna and Ray and Tony were so heart warming. Then in season 10, boom! Contrived breakup and Jenna shoved down our throats. Yes, I could have done without Nero and the diamond mine. And Jenna's nervous breakdown wore on my nerves . But season nine is the only season I recall where Dallas let the fans into the MINDS of the characters. We knew WHAT was motivating them emotionally. Season ten was just this is how they act and you don't get to know why. I do love the Wes story in season 10 (except for the abrupt ending), but it looks like we were going to get that with Ben anyway. [/QUOTE]
