[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 344225, member: 57984"] DALLAS could have ended at numerous points: Southfork burning, Bobby's shooting, Bobby's death, Bobby's appearance in the shower, Pam's crash, Sue Ellen shooting JR, Sue Ellen leaving Dallas, JR getting dragged off screaming into the psych ward, JR's guardian devil goading him into suicide, etc... In order to avoid Donna Reed and the dream resolution, DALLAS would have to end on Bobby getting shot -- which seems a bit early (perhaps he had a two year dream!). Bobby dying seems like a natural stopping place, but I don't want to miss the haunted riches of Season 10 (despite the 45 second dream scene which opened that year --- I'd take a full episode to explain Bobby's revival and ditch the dream explanation). Pam crashing may be the most logical point of no return, but the show kept going. Sue Ellen leaving proved you couldn't really have DALLAS without her, and now you had DALLAS without Sue Ellen [B][SIZE=5]or[/SIZE][/B] Pam. And yet the show kept going. But even if you end the show with Bobby's death, that doesn't help us avoid Mis-Ellie Donna Reed -- a huge karmic blow to the program from which it never really recovered. But as I've said before, DALLAS was one big spectacular mess. And I guess it has to be taken on that level. And those who wanted to take it at least even [I][B]a little[/B][/I] seriously haven't been permitted that luxury -- what with all the annual gaffes which began in the fall of 1984. I still argue that a vengeful Jeremy Wendell started poisoning the Southfork aquifer in 1984, setting the Ewings on a path of endless hallucinative delusions (explaining all the weird stuff that followed) -- a scheme which could be revealed in the finale episode of nuDALLAS in 2014... Jeremy's Masterpiece. [I][B]"Yes, that's right --- thirteen hundred more gallons... right under the kitchen...."[/B][/I] [IMG]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cw8dmcGXUAQKB9x.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
