This was really well acted and well written. Both Uhtreds had a lot of charisma. And adult Uhtred is a seriously pretty man. I kind of like that his girlfriend is not as pretty as he is. Don`t get me wrong, Emily Cox is a really cute, but Dreymon is ridiculously pretty. “I need to kill someone. And I choose him.”

I love all the hedging on whether Jason Priestly was actually attractive. This is what Aaron Spelling sounded like

U4EA is really the best episode. And I also never knew how heavy handed the foreshadowing with Dead Scott and the damn guns. Holy crap. Also, Robert Palmer is totally not alive anymore. Yeah. Makes the lawn mowing comment hilarious. And almost suspended, Sarah D. Bunting?!?!?!? The fashion in this is really intense. And ew, Dylan putting the moves on Emily. And Bitch Brenda was pretty hysterical. "Have a good time at the gynecologist." I came to the realization that it might've been braver/more interesting dramatically if Brandon and Andrea had slept together in the season finale and it all just went crazy.

I'm a totally insufferable theatre major asshole, but it's "James Shirley", not John. I'll see myself out.

Yeah, he has an identical twin, who was the 'put together' Xander in The Replacement. I'm sad Xander isn't well.

The look on Effie's face listening to Matt was my favourite part. And you also know that wasn't the first time she's heard various white dudes explain diversity to her, so she's had lot's of time to perfect it for the camera.

I like Piz and I'm not sorry. That was a very tight episode of Veronica Mars- I love Parker's screaming "RAPE!" It was very satisfying. And Logan bashing the cop car is the ultimate Logan moment. And drugged Veronica and the hair in the closet. Very tense. And apparently this plot was supposed to stretch back to the second season. Michael Cera's character takes Veronica around on a tour was supposed to be Mo. But he got all famous and was no longer available. ETA- Of course I leave my browser open and hours later comment without reading the later comments. Michael Cera- it is known.

Oh Chandler.....you were so bad here. Never try to out bray Brandon. I randomly knew about his tennis playing because it came up often in the media when he was dating Jennifer Capriati back in the day. And Sarah D. Bunting- I also am a baseball nerd because I, too, said, "That's not Vin Scully." Also, Roger would never be a Dodgers fan. He's white and bougie- he's totally an Angels fan.

When Steve yells at her about shrinking in the face of the Emily/Brandon relationship- that's one of my favourite moments. "What you gotta do is stop apologizing for who you are and get in the game!"

Dave's new ringtone needs to be Tara softly saying "Cindy feels...." Also, not to defend Dylan, but I think the "raging hormone" comment to Brandon was a reference to Brenda's insane mood swings rather than sexy times. But again, that's just my take. The twins were totally inappropriate and I wouldn't doubt that circa 1990, the two actors were boning. Jim Walsh should never say "Baby." "Honey" is his usual endearment. He also shouldn't call his wife the same endearment as his daughter. No, Jim. NO! Also, you aren't crazy- Andrea and Steve are great together. Even just as friends.

My favourite models through Cycle 12 or so 1-Elyse 2-Shandi 3-Toccarra was a serious star, and should've been the plus size winner instead of Whitney. And while Ann was sort of useless on the show, she's been a pretty successful commercial model. I still see her places. 4- Kahlen- who looks just like Carmen Kass. Or Janice, cause she left after this cycle and that sucked. 5- Nik 6-Danielle- my favourite winner. and Mollie Sue (who probably just should've tried out the next cycle.) Even though Tyra hated her for some reason. 7-All were sort of useless 8- This season bums me out, given what's happened to Renee and Jael, so I don't think about it. Natasha was beautiful and great TV, though 9- Lisa. 10- Fatima, Fatima, Fatima. And then Katarzyna for Euro bone structure. 11- Eh- Paulina Porizkova 12- Alison- though Celia once gave an interview with Rich Juzwiak back when he did recaps which was great. And she did have great style.

You knew Katarzyna was in trouble when she gently corrected the judges on how to properly say her name and they acted like she was sassing.

I think the Brenda Laveoine voice is a variation on Betty Boop- a terrible one, but yeah. And she does look insanely cute, but oof. Let`s pretend this never happened. Lydia reminded me of Jennifer Grey (probably the hair.) She`s also insufferable in this episode. I liked the dig at the chick who only has a career because her uncle is a producer- it`s a weird meta comment where 90210 is trying to be clever. Also, the comment on nepotism about a character played by Melissa Rivers. Shut up, Lydia. We never see her again. Also, the whole water throwing thing- I`m pretty sure they could`ve put a cut in there between Brandon being soaked and having to deliver the line. There are very few continouis takes. Shut up, show. Did you think of Jack McKay`s giant sweatpants when you described Brenda`s giant socks as 'sweatpants for ankles'?

There were probably handjobs in 1091. Just saying.

Manuel and Pepe. Shout out, boys. Also, it's pretty hilarious that they Latin-ized the theme song of the show. Mexican guitar 90210 theme.

I totally recognized the blonde car thief as the chick who Kirk Cameron got fired. I thought in this episode she looked a lot like Kelly (alterna Kelly) and that's why Steve was so into her. About Cameron's stupid evangelical movies, she wrote this on her MySpace: "He thinks if I read science books that I'm going to hell. rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints ... the sinners are much more fun. And a lot more interesting than some book-burner who is still having growing pains. I am at peace with God. Kirk thinks people like me are going to Hell, if I do then at least I'll go well informed and well read." I love Brenda in this episode- she goes from zero to bitch in a split second. That combined with Kelly promising to never go after Dylan was a good precursor to the ultimate Brenda line: "I hate you both. Never talk to me again!" I agree Garth was great in the Ross Webber scene and that was peak bitchiness by Amanda. Kelly tells her cute, slightly embarassing and goofy time with Steve (which is clearly the one she wants to count as her first) and Amanda bitches at her to tell the one, which sounds a little like date rape, where she is humiliated and felt gross about. It's also nice that Amanda's eating disorder/pill addiction is solved in about 30 seconds, another nice precedent set in how this show deals with drug addiction.

There is a classic Canadian movie called "Black Robe" about a French priest in 17th century Quebec living among Natives. In the movie, there is a white guy who acts as a guide. I watched it in French in high school, and my teacher would say "ce lui la, il est pas mal chaud" about the actor who plays the guide. Pas mal chaud = pretty hot. Watching the first season of this show, I recognized Aden Young from something and discovered he's the "pas mal chaud" guy! So, yeah, on board with the Daniel train.

I might be weird, but I find this show quietly hilarious. Sad and lyrical, but also hilarious. This definitely was a menacing episode. The dude who plays Teddy, describing how he essentially forced himself on "Sweet Julie" was amazing last episode. This is just extremely well written and acted. Trey is evil. EEEEEEEEEEVIL

This is the episode I hold up as the illustration of how the Walshes treat Brandon way better than Brenda, to the point of ridiculousness. I don't blame her that she's bratty, and some of her brattiness this episode is that she completely covers for Brandon and he throws her under the bus. His tone to Dylan about how terrible jail was was hilarious. Dude, you were there for a couple of hours and your parents bailed you out. And then somehow they still got angrier at your sister. I wish Brenda, anytime Jim got all huffy at her in later seasons, would just yell back "MONDALE!" I agree on Doherty's hair- the bangs are amazing and I want them. She's a season or so away from maximum gorgeousness -I always thought it was funny that Kelly was supposed to be the class beauty. Garth is totally attractive but Doherty is distractingly so.

Yeah, I stuck with dull for the wife, but yeah, she's dull and a massive nag. Let her go, Cullen.

I think the actress who played Lily actually wanted out, so they might be covering. If they didn't want Bonhannon to be too domestic, they could've broken them up. Deadwood did that with Mrs. Garrett and Seth Bullock- which I think is this show's more prestigious cousin. She's on that Astronaut Wives show now, with red hair. And yeah, having him pine over the extremely boring wife is not good. I'm probably going to watch till the end, because I might as well, but I think they seriously made a mistake killing off so many characters that people cared about. I just recently re-watched the Ruth gets hanged episode, which is so well acted and so depressing. Of all the killing that has happened in this show, it's Ruth that has to pay? And the Swede is now somehow working for him now? After he killed Lily? And tried to hang him? And various other things. It's things like that that hang over this show that sour what could actually be good.

They made a mistake making Bohannon's wife so damn dull, because I find myself not caring that he's looking for her. I just don't care. It's weird that she's dull, because Eva, Ruth, Lily and Louise are/were all interesting characters-so it's not like they can't write interesting women.

Wait a second? Someone younger? How old is Dylan supposed to be? When I was a kid, I loved the whole Dylan and Brenda drama in this episode, but watching it now, I'm like "Stop yelling." But it is kind of a perfect 90210 episode and sets up one of the major relationships that defines the series. Jim, shut up. Given how thrilled you were when Brandon had sex down the hall from you, your freak out over Brenda is especially ridiculous. Brandon, shut up. You are totally jealous that your cool friend is paying more attention to your sister and won't make out with you. Also, you just told him your sister was a virgin- which is absolutely none of your business and is really up to Brenda to tell him that. Bleat elsewhere. Kelly is great in this episode.

Ok, it's ridiculous to argue (and I will anyway!) But I think Scotch is an Scottish expat thing. Also, The Stone Angel! Woohoo! My grandmother (who was Scottish) had a book by John Kenneth Galbraith (the Canadian-American economist) about his childhood in rural Southwestern Ontario amongst the Scottish people there (including his family)....it was called "The Scotch." I think Scottish people in Scotland don't like it because it's what English people call them. In conclusion, Dylan is a tool.

I'm also Canadian, and I find it hilarious how Simcoe is portrayed in this show. In Ontario, there are endless references to him, as the previous poster illustrated. I have no idea about his personality or anything, but, at the very least, he was a very loyal man to the Crown and left a large legacy in the province. It's a great performance and I love what a weirdo he is, but oof. But given how Washington is portrayed on this show, maybe it is it's MO.
