[QUOTE="James from London, post: 287181, member: 22"] The Dream Season is the only time I came close to stop watching DALLAS. Nowadays, I find it quite interesting to watch as a kind of period artefact, although I can still see what bothered me so much about it at the time. When the next season aired, it was such a return to everything I'd always loved most about DALLAS (along with some new elements that were totally fresh and exciting) that it almost felt it had been designed specifically with me in mind. (I had the same sensation when New DALLAS started.) Sure, the change in picture quality was noticeable, but I was so happy with the show itself I didn't care. As for the hairdos and fashions, I thought they was all a big improvement on the stiff mullety look that had really started to ossify in the second half of the dream. The next few post-Pam years had some weak points - Arlen (or Atticus) Wards's earlobe-tugging, Clayton's amnesia, aspects of Sue Ellen's movie story and Bobby and April's relationship - but it never felt so completely un-DALLAS to me as "the worst" of the dream season and I never considered giving up on it. The final season (Conundrum aside) goes at a great pace and has an enjoyable recklessness to it and is really fun. [/QUOTE]
