I haven't watched the episode for ages and actually had forgotten about that scene. Nah -  you didn't come across as rude at all. It's good to have a discussion around it.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> It was a tough choice between the two shootings for me. I was too young to watch when JR was shot so it passed me by. I remember the cultural impact that summer: the t-shirts; singles; headlines and the word of mouth seemed to be everywhere. But I wasn't really part of it (even though I remember tuning in for the first episode of the new season along with most of the country). Bobby's shooting was the first Dallas cliffhanger I watched "live" when it aired, and it had the same impact on me as it did you. I couldn't stop thinking about it (and like you, I also worked out the suspect and her motive). It was a really exciting time. Watching in more recent years, separating the episodes from the hype, I've had more appreciation for just how well-executed Who Shot JR? was. The final two episodes of Season Two and those first four episodes of Season Three up to the reveal feel really special whenever I watch. The comparative simplicity and the less polished feel of the show really work in its favour. I tried to factor in how meaningful they were to me back then and how I feel about them now. It really could have gone either way though.</blockquote>
