Message: <blockquote data-quote="Brian Kinney" data-source="post: 283683" data-attributes="member: 3219">The dream should have started after Katherine drove him over and before he was in the hospital. Still a dream. But the dream wouldn't skip over the traumatic event itself (which explain why someone is dreaming of explosions etc.). Just the outcome of it could have been different. Restarting in the hospital with Bobby awakening from coma - with the same cast as in the death scene, except BBG instead of DR). Maybe days, weeks or months later. Accepting that some stories in the "dream season" actually happened to his surprise (Jenna and Jack getting closer, Mark's return, Angelica Nero - Jamie's death, but not Sue Ellen bombed). As a viewer I felt mostly betrayed that the car accident and his death in the hospital were erased. But I would have accepted a dream that acknowledged at least the car accident. It wouldn't have mattered if most of the stories from the dream turned out to be real. Of course they needed a writer and director to find a style for an outstanding episode, where a therapist would lead Bobby slowly to what actually happened. Everything to make it more real instead of destroying a whole year of Dallas. I don't think my idea is original because films who use the dreams routine often use the most traumatic scene that starts the cycle. Pamela though just went to bed, dreamt and woke up. That was terribly anticlimactic. My idea wouldn't save the ties to Knots Landing but could've saved Dallas's credibility a bit.</blockquote>
