Didn't they then bring him back to life and say the last two years worth of episodes were a dream?I understand that in US this event had enormous cultural significance

That was different, when JR's brother Bobby was supposedly killed off at the end of a season and then reappeared at the end of the following season.
who shot jr was the moment soap took over/overtook realityIs that right? I've never seen the programme but when I was at uni I used to go out with this girl and she told me that in Dallas there was a bit when they killed JR and then for ages there was the mystery, and then the mystery was solved, and viewing figures slumped and so they brought the most popular character, which was JR, back to the show by having him coming out of the shower and not getting shot and everything in-between was a dream.,
So I've never ever seen the programme but I have "known" one thing about it for twenty something years. And it was wrong. Thanks a lot Tamsin.
which as I said above, is true. LBJ's Vietnam credibility gap was the original alternative facts.What you have in The Cold Six Thousand — which covers the years '63 to '68 — is that last gasp of pre-public-accountability America where the anti-communist mandate justified virtually any action. And it wasn't Kennedy's death that engendered mass skepticism. It was the protracted horror of the Vietnamese war.
By the way @Clinamenic and @version - you both totally ignored my first rule and made no effort to say what you think happened? Even if it's "dunno" just say so cos I really want to test the water here.

The first thing I said was I don't know.

This Jackdaw — originally published in England in 1967 before the facts could become blurred or adjusted by the passage of time — offers students a unique opportunity to handle and analyze documentary evidence, including a full size reproduction of the alleged weapon, F.B.I. photographs and eyewitness autopsy report, official Warren Commission exhibits, excerpts from Jacqueline Kennedy’s testimony to the Warren Commission, and a full-color model of Dealey Plaza. The documents are sure to inspire lively classroom debate and help students form their own hypotheses and opinions.
theres a new(ish) censorial attitude to conspiracy (admittedly for obvious and understandable reasons) like i couldnt beleive how hysterical the tone of this was, like, lighten up bro https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-...calypse-is-the-most-dangerous-show-on-netflixI'm drunk enough, and being a thoroughly rum soaked sarcastic dickhead, to express my puzzlement about the differences between the UK anarcho punk scene and the US equivalent...
when I used to hang around with ( UK based ) squatters, crass style anarcho punks, new age travellers and the like, there would have been no argument if you ventured the notion that LHO was a patsy and that a secret cabal plotted to remove a head of state... that's par for the course in the UK ( Wilson Plot, etc., we know it goes on ) , but I sort of learnt from when a, sadly deceased, friend of mine visited New York and I asked him to pick up a copy of Peter Dale's Scott's Deep Politics II for me, and he enquired in a supposedly radical bookshop ( pierced penis pictures in the window,Modern Primitive RE/Search style ) and he almost got thrown out on the spot, that questioning authority in the US is a preserve of the right, whereas in the UK we seem a little more open minded and across the board with our disbelief of those in power?
you can see in a post above that my favourite childhood toy was a cardboard cutout of Dealy Plaza and the only way the trajectories and the head snap ( "magic bullet" ) made sense to me was if the kill shots came from the Grassy Knoll
just having my fun, y'all
