So my old man grew up watching the TV show Dallas when it aired, and we recently gave him the DVD box set of the entire series for his birthday. Now we're bingewatching the whole series since, y'know, quarantine, and we just finished season 9. But I gotta say, what the fuck. I'll try to keep it as spoiler-free as possible.
So season 8 ended with one of the two main characters getting killed off, and this had major story consequences for season 9. However, in the very final scene of season 9, that character's ex-wife (who in the season 9 finale married someone else) wakes up and finds the killed-off main character alive in the shower, rather than her new husband. Apparently the entirety of season 9 was A DREAM that the ex-wife was having. Everything in the entire season was completely pointless. Season 10 just picks up where season 8 left off (barring the death of that main character). The entire 31-episode season (with a runtime of 45 minutes per episode) was completely meaningless. We might as well have just skipped it entirely. This is honestly baffling to me. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Game of Thrones season 8 made the entire series meaningless, rather than just one season.

Hikaru no Go's anime somehow outdid the manga's shitty ending with even more of a non-ending.

I watched that show as a kid. Spent an entire summer trying to figure out how the fuck they were going to explain that shit. And when they did, I quit watching the show.

Yeah, I figured there was probably a lot of behind-the-scenes fuckery going on, because no way in hell would any show retcon an entire season unless they had absolutely no other choice.

Best part is that Dallas had a spinoff show called Knots Landing with Gary Ewing, brother to Bobby and J.R, as one of the main characters.
They crossed over from time to time, and The problem is that they couldnt make another it was just a dream, so they split the shows.

My Literature teacher talked about this show this semester. She said what happened was, the person killed off was the most relatable character and people were really upset about it, and viewership was dropping, so they just undid it.

It was a prime time soap opera. Long lost twins, dreams, people coming back from the dead, etc are kind of regular thing.
