Someone Shot Bobby Ewing, and I'm Going to Get to the Bottom of It Just as Soon as Netflix Ships Me the Next DVD

So if you know me, you probably know I'm mildly obsessed with the show "Dallas" and that I'm constantly renting it off Netflix, and then locking myself in my house for 6 hours chunks of time because I can't stop watching it until the DVD is over.  It's awesome because that show was built on the cliffhanger principle, but with DVD technology, I can totally thwart that and watch the next episode seconds later.  (Except the end of season 3 when J.R. got shot.  I made myself wait the whole summer before I rented season 4, just so I would have to wait in intense agony like everyone else did that summer of 1980 or whenever that was.)

One of the problems with watching "Dallas" is that nothing is really ever going to surprise me.  I know most of the big plot points just from being alive when this was on.  And Wikipedia certainly doesn't help when I try to look up a certain actor and my eyes accidentally see a line that says, "And Miss Ellie marries Clayton Farlow in season 7..."

Speaking of season 7, I just finishing the last DVD of that set, which ends like this:



And even though I already totally knew that Bobby gets shot, and I totally knew it was in season 7, and I totally knew that this was the last episode of season 7....as I was sitting here in my house in my quiet neighborhood with all the windows open, and I screamed out "BOBBBBBBBYYYYYYYYY!!!" as if someone had just shot him in my own arms.  Maybe I should take a little hiatus, I might be getting a little too into it.  Again.
