[QUOTE="Luke_Krebbs_Ewing, post: 291323, member: 64"] April should've been brought home. That Bobby decided to bury her in Paris is a black mark against him. However we really shouldn't be surprised because of the outlandish storylines in this final season. The writers clearly didn't care any more. They ramped the violence quotient up. Perhaps they hoped Dallas would survive to another season. It didn't but that's largely down to the direction this season was took in, as well as the lame final episode Conundrum. Leonard Katzman was well past his prime by this stage, for Dallas to go on it really needed a new Executive Producer but by this season it was clearly too late to save the show. :( I watched it for the first time in years last year. I was pleasantly surprised. However it's not one of the seasons I would ever automatically reach for to re-watch. The fact that Barbara Bel Geddes is gone is the main reason why I tend not to reach for it, plus the fact that the show itself was a shadow of its former self with most of the characters we cared about gone. No Sue Ellen, no Pam, no Donna, no Ray and no Miss Ellie. Need I say more. :( [/QUOTE]
