[QUOTE="Grangehill1, post: 291050, member: 833"] I hated season 14 when it first aired on BBC 1 in 1991. I watched it again as part of a rewatch about 5 years ago and was pleasantly surprised. Knowing roughly what was going to happen and watching it at a heightened pace I don’t think it’s as bad as everyone says. The time frame of the first 4 episodes is truly bizarre. Events that are meant to take place over a few days took a month to reach screens originally. In fact the pacing of the entire season is off. Watching the first few very quickly helps. Cally is pregnant and also gives birth in a very strange time frame Theres a lot wrong. The final episode is dire. The penultimate episode actually functions as more or a final episode so you might as well stop watching there. But there’s an air of finality about the whole thing. A sense of winding down. South fork becoming emptier and emptier. There’s an air of doom. I can’t quite explain it. it’s not perfect and nowhere near as rewatchable as the early years but once every 10 or years or so I might watch again. its sooooooo much better than the truly appalling season 11 [/QUOTE]
