Message: <blockquote data-quote="DallasFanForever" data-source="post: 351716" data-attributes="member: 13221">This is quite the polarizing thread, isn’t it? If Digger turns out to be J.R.’s father it pretty much blows up what we watched for 13 years to bits. Rewatches would never be the same knowing what we would now know. So many storylines would have the feeling of no longer mattering perhaps, and the dynamic between Jock and J.R. that went way beyond Jock’s death would forever be altered. So why do I like the idea that [USER=21]@Barbara Fan[/USER] suggested so much? I’m not sure, but I do. Perhaps it’s because it would bring some much needed drama and chaos to those later years, and especially the ending of the show. Dallas went out like a lamb in 1991, but this idea allows it to go out like a lion instead. It’s a bold storyline, and highly risky. But aren’t those the reasons we watched these shows to begin with?</blockquote>
