I have ticked the spoiler but i guess it's that old now that everyone will have seen it that cares. What an absolutely dreadful ending to what was my favourite soap.In it's heyday Dallas walked all over Dynasty without ever really needing to try to hard, but for the devil to visit JR Ewing and show him what life would be like in a world without him was bizarre to say the least,was it a dream? Was it a psychosis induced hallucination? I don't know but what i do know is i wanted to see him getting the better of all his enemies one last time,to stitch up all those who crossed him was a must.JR needed to go out in a bang of glory not an episode that looked and felt pointless. For those who haven't seen it,stay away.As i said JR is visited by the devil when drunk alone on the ranch one night after saying everyone would be happier if he's never been born.Sure enough the devil gives him an insight into what this would be like,sure enough everyone is different and no one is happier.At the end of this the devil encourages JR to kill himself,at this time Bobby Ewing returns to hear a gun shot and when he bursts into JR's room his face has that look of anguish we've seen before on Dallas.But is JR dead. Well in 1996 JR returned came out,so there's your answer.
