[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 328497, member: 33"] [B]Match 1[/B] The [I]Dynasty [/I]cliffhanger was a good one. The argument that lead up to the fight did seem a little forced and contrived but it served it's purpose to start the fisticuffs between Adam and Dex even though Adam's reaction was totally disproportionate to what went before it. Alexis and Dex falling slow motion over the balcony and Blake being shot was the last we would see of them in the normal series and their lives were all in jeopardy. Over in [I]Dallas[/I], I hated that they brought Bobby back from the dead but at the time it wasn't 100% certain that it was him thanks to a closing credit listing his character as "???". The Angelica bombing spree for me was the best part of the cliffhanger. JR pulling off one of his typical stings, tricking a confession out of Angelica while Harry McSween is listening next door and Angelica's defiant "It's too late" as she is dragged away by the police foreshadowed her impeding attacks. The target for both her bombs were missed and innocent people (Jamie and Sue Ellen) were caught in the explosions instead which I thought was great drama. Because the realisation that this was all a dream wasn't confirmed until the beginning of the next season, I can look more favourably on this cliffhanger than I otherwise would. My winner for match 1 is: [B][SIZE=6]Dallas Season 9[/SIZE] Match 2[/B] [I]Flamingo Road[/I] had another falling through the banister to a possible injury or death finale, they really need to stop making the rails out of balsa wood. I know it was a bit cheesy but the Falcon Crest finale is one of my favourite conclusions to any long running TV series because it wasn't about tying up loose ends of storylines or going out with a dramatic and suspenseful ending but about doing something for the fans of the show. Just having Jane Wyman back for the ending was enough for me to love it and I liked how Angela wore white to someone else's wedding. The final scene was a positive one, everyone seemed genuinely happy and Angela and Lance had made peace with Richard. Angela's speech name checked all the main characters that didn't appear in the finale and it was nice that they found a way to include them. My winner for match 2 is [B][SIZE=6]Falcon Crest Season 9[/SIZE][/B] [/QUOTE]
