[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 440996, member: 57984"] Although I don't view those things as retcons per se, there's no question that there was a bit of a pall over Season 8 -- which I attribute, if not entirely, to the recasting of Miss Ellie. There was a sense that something special had now been ruined. Also, a series has a natural arc, and DALLAS' was probably seven years (Season 8 in TV talk)... 1978 to 1985. I'd've hated to have missed Season 10 (although not the dream resolution which opened it). But Bobby's death, and the months leading up to it, had a finality about we even mentioned at the time. But that was true about [I][B]all[/B][/I] the nighttime soaps by the Spring of 1985 -- a slightly forlorn sense of ambivalent closure. [/QUOTE]
