[QUOTE="Lastkidpicked, post: 314351, member: 237"] What killed Dallas? Maybe nothing. They captured lightning in a bottle, and like everything else, you can't keep that level of energy forever. Look at the great seasons. The lead up to the "Who Shot J.R." storyline. Watching people one by one get steamrolled by J.R. and vowing revenge. It made us look forward to the next episode each time. [ATTACH type="full"]35002[/ATTACH] Lines such as, "I'm gonna kill J.R." "You'll have to stand in line behind everybody else." And then look at the Contest for Ewing Oil storyline. We did a rewatch a couple summers ago and I just couldn't wait to get on these boards to talk about it. We had to FORCE ourselves to wait a day in between episodes because we wanted to see what would happen next. Then time and years went by. [USER=22]@James from London[/USER] says it better than I can when he states "There is no sense of urgency" . That really sums it up. Some of the storylines in the later years are actually pretty good. But there is nothing to keep you on the edge of your seat waiting for the next episode. To put a finer point on it-- when Dallas was good, it was REALLY good. It was a helluva ride! [/QUOTE]
