[QUOTE="pete lashmar, post: 314371, member: 606"] I'm currently on another re-watch and what always stands out for me is just how good the show was for so long. At the moment I'm on season 4 (5 DVD) and Pam has just ambushed Bobby as he arrived back at Southfork with Christopher, which was a great cliffhanger. But thinking forward, as a fan, I know that the best is yet to come for the show and it's very rare that 5 years in a drama can keep the viewers glued like Dallas did. With Jock's death and the fight for Ewing Oil just around the corner, the writers and cast were on fire at this point, Dallas was absolutely at the top of it's game. Looking back now it must of been hell to keep the momentum going and it's such a shame that when the show ended it wasn't even slightly a shadow of it's former self, it was dying a death in front of the smallest viewing figures it had ever achieved. Quite a come down for the daddy of all soap operas. Yes there are some great plots and storylines in later series, but for me I would have re-molded the last 10 episodes of season 9 (10 DVD) - Wendell would cause the end of Ewing Oil (as seen in the following season) and I would have re-worked Pam's crash as being fatal and then Bobby leaving Southfork with Christopher. The End. Well...until the TV movies... [/QUOTE]
