[QUOTE="Rove, post: 47917, member: 100"] It's interesting you bring that up. I'm nearly finished viewing Season 7 (commencing with the Southfork fire and ending with Bobby being shot) and find this season exceptional regarding the writers thoughts on extending the Barnes/Wentworth family. And in direct comparison we find the Ewing family shrinking. No Miss Ellie at the beginning of the season with just visits from Clayton. Bobby spending more time at the office rather than home. Sue Ellen spending her time at the hairdressers/bedroom/local park or eye-balling Peter's budgie smugglers (Speedo's). I'm not sure if it was deliberate or just how the story evolved but I was beginning to enjoy Cliff, Afton, Pam, Mark and sometimes Katherine's story-line. Rather than impede my viewing (which TNT Dallas did by introducing irrelevant characters) this group just enriched it. It was a joy to watch. The dynamic had changed and this was clearly evident when Bobby would go to Pam's house to collect Christopher. Fast forward another full season and everything went to crap. Afton had left Dallas. Pam was island hopping searching for Mark and Katherine face plants herself on the steering wheel. And what was the pay-off for this brilliant writing? Dallas went to pot. [/QUOTE]
