Season 6 - and Mickey Trotter and Ray

[Billy Nolan]

I just finished season 6 and found it to be the strongest of all the Dallas seasons so far (in my opinion). A fiery cliffhanger and the worry about Mickey Trotter.

The Mickey storyline really touched me. This is the kind of story that Dallas has really been missing. More human connection, less business dealings by "old white men." And I'm glad that Miss Ellie finds a new man in Clayton. I never really liked Jock.

On the other hand, I like Ray less and less. In my opinion, he's overly authoritarian and has been too strict with Mickey. Why didn't he and Donna let him live in their house?

If he wants to take care of him, then he should do it properly and not half-heartedly.

I hope Mickey survives the accident. He brings a great dynamic to the show. And his chemistry with Lucy is fantastic.

Season 6 is my favorite, and I loved Mickey storyline. He was a great addition to the show and was awesome with Lucy. I wanted a scene in NuDallas in which....spoilers below since you haven't finished the season:

Lucy visits Mickey's grave and tells him she never had a lasting relationship because he was the only one for her.

I'm glad you enjoyed the Mickey storyline. I really liked Mickey and Lucy together too.
He was a good guy and he seemed to really understand and respect Lucy once he got to know her.

I think season 6 & 7 are the best seasons of the show. Dallas peaked here!

Ray bending Mickey over the pick-up truck and saying something about a horse was the most homoerotic moment in all of oldDALLAS, except of course for that giant bird on Kit Mainwaring's apartment wall.

It's been a while since I've seen these episodes, but I do remember really liking Mickey, and feeling quite sad that he was killed off. Even more so than Mitch, I feel like Mickey was the best guy for Lucy.
