Plot: Here we have it -- the conclusion of the ""Dallas"" TV series (although, thankfully, TV movies would follow). In this two-part episode, J.R. is on the brink of despair, holding a gun to his own head, when he's visited by an other-worldly type named Adam.

Plot: Here we have it -- the conclusion of the ""Dallas"" TV series (although, thankfully, TV movies would follow). In this two-part episode, J.R. is on the brink of despair, holding a gun to his own head, when he's visited by an other-worldly type named Adam. He takes a mystical journey in the ""It's a Wonderful Life"" slant and finds out what the lives of those around him would have been like had there never been a J.R. Ewing. With a wonderful sense of humor, the writers give us a world where Gary Ewing is a successful lawyer, Cliff Barnes is vice-president of the United States (!), Cally Harper is a battered wife, Bobby Ewing is a wandering loser, Sue Ellen Shepard is a thriving actress, and the other Ewing son is named Jason -- and is a weasley little user and jerk. Finally, the two-parter -- and the series -- ends with a gunshot. Did J.R. do it? How can he, when we have reunion movies to do? Long live the king!!!!!! And, BRBTV notes, long live the brilliance of the amazing Larry Hagman! LESS
