[QUOTE="Julia's Gun, post: 343844, member: 987"] Lots of people say the series stops being great after Season 10, with Pam's exit. But i've just been re-watching from the beginning and I am now early in Season 10, and i'm really struggling. For me the dream season was an enjoyable and interesting re-watch for the most part. The first half was well written, well acted, and wonderful to have Barbara back as Miss Ellie. OKay it goes very wrong with the Marinos shipping/Angelico Nero stuff and Matt Cantrell (awful), but I would much rather they had continue as planned: with Ben Stivers becoming Jock and Bobby staying dead. Season 10 is pretty awful during this re-watch. I really hadn't missed Bobby during the dream season. His good guy macho counter to JR persona had run its course for me, and now he has come back I think i'd forgotten just how boring Bobby's character was. Is it sacrilege to say this? Pam was freed up after his demise and there was all the wasted potential of her feuding with JR at Ewing oil. I grew to like Mark, and their relationship had lots of potential twists and turns to go through. I liked the reconciliation of Sue Ellen and JR and Donna and Ray by the end of S9. Susan Howard was wonderful the whole year, and clearly put her all into that adoption storyline, writing one of the episodes near the end of the season. The re-set just doesn't work for me and I am thinking of giving up here with my re-watch and I'm only 7 episodes in. BD Calhoun is another awful addition, is it Katzman or Paulsen that insisted on all the macho male crap, or both of them? Susan Howard has been given a new glam hairdo, but she looks lost and bored after having her previous storylines dropped. Her and Ray belonged together, they had worked through all the problems, why separate them again and push Ray onto Jenna? Really dull stuff. So for me it ended with Bobby in the shower. Unecessary. Partrick made his choice, he should have stayed dead, and his career probably would have been as well. [/QUOTE]
