2) A HOUSE DIVIDED: Schemes, passions and all the emotions you could imagine in only one episode with an unbeatable climax.

3) Sue Ellen & JR´s Wedding (POST-NUPTIAL): The beginning of a new phase full of spectacular scenes like in the old times.

4) Bobby is Shot (END GAME): A remake of the famous cliffhanger of Season 2: this new version is almost just as intriguing, with so many frustrated feelings leading all the characters to a tragedy.

5) They say Jock is dead (BARBEQUE 2): the always entertaining barbeque has a sad ending, and a hard time begins for the family, acceptance, E.O. War, Sue Ellen being lured back by J.R., Pam making apart from Bobby, the open door for Katherine, etc.

1 - A HOUSE DIVIDED: The show´s most perfect episode and the most revealing about the main character J.R. A TV time bomb in so many senses.

2 - SWAN SONG: This might have been considered the best ever episode but hasn´t, for 2 reasons: one, that part of it became a dream; the other, DONNA REED´s presence as an unbelievable MISS ELLIE.

3 - MASTECTOMY: Of all the plots devoted to deceases, operations and traumas, this 2-parter is undoubtedly the example of how to make something else out of a soap opera.

4 - THINGS AIN´T GOIN´ TOO GOOD AT SOUTHFORK: One of SUE ELLEN´s highlights, going off the wagon again after finding her husband with another woman. This is Act One of Three that led to the Fire Cliffhanger.

5 - DIGGER´S DAUGHTER: For sentimental reasons, and for everything is right about it. Few Pilots represented so well the show´s spirit and what would come after that.

6 - BARBECUE: End of the Pilot Mini-series and first real Cliffhanger of the show, the infamous Southfork Barbecue would mark the major characters in many ways...

7 - LOVE STORIES: An example of how to close a (temporarily) supporting plot, leaving the ground ready for the Cliffhanger to be aired 2 weeks later: BOBBY is shot...





8 - THE LETTER: If there was something difficult for DALLAS at that time, it was getting the perfect couple back together. This episode even would led to a divorce, thanks to historically wicked KATHERINE...

9 - THE FAMILY EWING: Spectacular "day after" the BOBBY´s death, featuring an impressive production design, sensitive performances and such an emotional plot that it could only that, just a dream.

10 - RESURRECTION: Proof of "life without BOBBY" could be possible for PAM, though not an easy life. The story allows us to see how much the character depended on her relationship with BOBBY, even after his "death".
