greetings 90210 fans,

i have read many comments recently and feel it is time i added my 2 cents.
1)  what did ever happen to emily after she was institutionalized and what
is the rumor of her and jason priestly living together.
2)  on that note, i don't think jason p. is gay
3)  i agree with those of you who think nikki is attractive. i would like to
see alot more of her.
4)  i thought it was a joke when they gave steve a D+ average. get real, he
isn't that stupid.  a C average would have been fine.
5)  many of you think it is about time they are all graduating, but really
it is only what, the third season, which means they started as sophomores.
it just seems long because of the summer episodes.
6)  i too would like to see dylan and kelly get together.
7)  on that note, what is up with brenda.  my opinion is they are giving her
all these "bitch" scenes because they are going to get rid of her.  you have
to admit, it looks like shannen is pissing everyone off.  ie. when j. garth
was on the joan rivers show and couldn't think of anything to say (nice that
is)
8)  david silver has really come around hasn't he?
9)  get rid of tori spelling, she is unattractive and can't act
10)  not much to say about andrea, except, get over the editor job thing
11)  finally, i agree that show has been going down hill. the summer episodes
didn't really do it for me. although, i thought last weeks episode was pretty
good. 
12)  btw, how did you like what brenda was wearing at the dance.  the dress
wasn't THAT bad but was she wearing "hiking" boots?    

thank you for letting me get this off my chest.  i will keep them shorter, 
just needed to get it all out.

diehard fan,
kevin

	Believable? of course(heavy sarcasm).  I watched pretty much all
of the first few seasons, and this was my first time catching the new one.
Based just on this episode, I gotta say it sucks.

	1) Was the acting always this bad? or is it just a bad script?

	2) How many people attend BHS, because only about 30 people were
	   at the dance. Big Event?

	Golly gee, what a great show.  They almost dance as good as those kids
from Dance Party USA. 
	Sorry to be soooooo pessimistic(sp?), but is anyone else as disgusted
as I am with the show?

Has anyone thought it odd that the mother of Brandon and Brenda does
not have a job?  I couldn't help but think about this during the 
episode with all the bitching about the high cost of college for
the kids.  Maybe if she spent a little time working rather than going
to the beach every day, they could afford college for both kids and
move their family unit in line with the 90's.
Just my opinion....

I think they've established that Brandon works to have
money for his car, and Brenda doesn't have or want a car,
so she doesn't have to work. Presumably their parents buy
all their clothes, school stuff, etc. They've shown Brenda
shopping with Kelly and Donna in previous episodes where
she's complaining about not being able to afford what they
can. Seems pretty stupid that she wouldn't just get herself
a job (especially since she's such an ACE waitress!) so
she could afford what she wants, but it definitely seems
in character that she would rather whine about it than
take action.

What did you expect..a riot? I have to be perfectly honest and say that 3/4
of the way throught the show I almost turned off the television and storm out
of the room because I thought once again BH was being highly rascist, but I'd
have to say that I thought the ending was great, in fact after the show I said
that it was by far the best episode I've ever seen.  Why isn't it believable?

I'm sorry, but after reading some of the messages that people have been
writing, I just have to say this.  I enjoy the show, and excluding the
newest season, I've seen practically every episode.  But, I realize the
difference between fiction and reality, and 90210 is definitely NOT
reality.  So for those of you who ask things like "Why doesn't Mrs.
Walsh work?"  or things like that, well, IT'S JUST A SHOW.

As for Brandon, I too have heard that he is a bi-sexual, but then again, 
I'd bet that some jealous guys started that rumor to turn the girls off.

And who's this Nikki?  Maybe I've missed more episodes than I thought.

My you got this review out quick.  I thought it was a pretty good
episode although far too predictable.  I thought the issue they were
touching on was a good topic for a show but we didn't see much of
anything as far as real conflict that might exist (yes, I know this
is just entertainment--so I took it as such and actually enjoyed
it).

The Kyle character made a "cameo" appearance since he's apparently
on the football team.  He had some lines even but was never referred
to by name and didn't really have much to do in the show.  I see
that the actor (David Lascher?) has been on Blossom as Blossom's
boyfriend.  I still see him on reruns of "Hey Dude" on Nick but I'm
not sure if they have any new episodes of that.  Perhaps this isn't
of much interest here but just in case anyone's interested, this is
FYI.

Personally, I think Beverly Hills 90210 is the most awesomist television show

Yeah, well.  So it was irrational and unrealistic.  How many of us really
and truly expect that 90210 is going to deal with life in a non-hokey
manner?  Come on, people!  We all know that we watch the show because
there's something about it that we find appealing in some sick, twisted 
manner.  It's always wonderfully entertaining.  So it's hokey; one might
argue that the writers weren't trying to get the hokey characters to deal
with an important problem in a realistic way, but rather get their audience
to think critically about the problems addressed.  We can certainly see that
it's worked here.  

And now for the true grit of my little piece here:
	Can you believe the way Dylan, Brenda and Donna were dancing together
	at the end?!  What's up with that?!?!?!

   I remember several episodes in WiseGuy that occured in a small town in the
   north of the U.S. in those episodes agent taranova arrives to a wierd
   town to investigate murder cases.

   do you think david lynch got his inspiration from those episodes ?

Maybe.  I think Lynch has an interstingly twisted notion of reality
and an essentially visual take on life.  And that when something comes
along that intrigues him, he will use it some way.  I suspect that
there are lots of influences on _Twin Peaks_ that we still haven't
noticed, becasue they are so idionsyncratic.

As a possible example, I present the following.  A few days ago, I saw
a video for the J. Geilss Band song ``Centerfold'', about a guy who
discovers that his high-school love (``angel'') is now a centerfold.
It has the requisite chorus of nubile young women, parading around
Peter Wolff during each stanza.  They're all wearing black and white
shoes and the camera does a close up on their feet at the start of
each circuit.  Is the close up on Audrey's black and white pumps
influenced by this?  Is the whole idea of a high-school innocent who
winds up in a skin magazine, echoed by Laura in _Fleshworld_?  After
TP, it's hard not to see possible connections, but I can't be sure.
