     Why did Raquel go back to being called Rachel? Did I miss something?

    There might be an official reason I haven't seen, but my first thought was that it was a way of her taking back control of the name that belongs to her. Personally I was in the camp that calling her Rachel as a dis was an asshole move, and think it's kind of awesome if she was like, "Oh yeah, you think you're clever calling me by my birth name? Suck on it."

    But that's JMO/hope :)

    Yeah, I don't feel like this is a good reason for Raquel being trashed* -- I have stuff that is not necessarily made for adults just because I like it (including the very same galaxy light that seems to upset Lala).

    Haha, I actually GOT a galaxy light after this ep -- thought it was awesome! I love all kinds of cool and pretty lights :)

    The more Sandoval vents, the more I see how much he resented Ariana.

    Dressing up as Rachel for Halloween. Accepting Ariana’s help with regard to the costume.

    Ariana wasn’t thrilled and grateful when he attempted to initiate sex. 

    Ariana was more popular. Mutual friends were focused more on Ariana. Ariana wasn’t worshipping Sandoval 24/7. 
     

    ETA: The T-shirt comment.
     

    This affair was a big FU to her. 

    Great points. Also, I'm sure her building the sandwich shop added to all of that, between her standing on her own, as well as not being around as much.

  4. He's done and moreso said some horrible things, but so have I 100%, and I've always had a soft spot for James. My girlfriend who's also a HUGE fan of the show bought me a Cameo from him and I know he got paid, but truly have to say that it made me so happy. He seemed seriously genuine. Pretty sure my friend who also struggles with addiction, as do I, mentioned that, and that my boyfriend died last year. He called me by my moniker that I have on here as well, and even said "It's not about the pasta; it's about YOU, Judi Sunshine." Said I was absolutely beautiful and an amazing writer and that he knew I had a difficult year -- "a VERY difficult year," he corrected it to, and said that I had big things -- "BIG things" coming up in life.

    It was only a minute long, him walking down the street, and I know you have to give info and he maybe doesn't even know what I look like (I do okay but am not his type), and has probably not read my writing, but it meant so much to me. Both that my friend got it for me, would say those things herself ABOUT me, and that he truly seemed compassionate and genuine and encouraging. Others who don't even watch the show said he seemed very genuine.

    So I always liked him but now no matter what, I officially love him. Words can't express how much it cheered me up. No idea how many times I watched it.

    What the hell Rachel!  You just sat in your apt with LaLa talking about the fact she hasn’t been with a man since 2020.  LaLa and Oliver seemed to have a little connection.  Couldn’t Rachel have kept her tongue to herself and let LaLa have at it? 

    Normally would agree and Raquel for sure has been uncool to Katie and Arianna, but IMO she owes Lala NOTHING when it comes to dudes. Lala slept with James while he was with Raquel and treated her like shit for years.

  6. Started watching "Ginny and Georgia" and Sara Waisglass (Frankie from Degrassi!) refers to VPR with glee but also says that the show lost its way after everyone turned 30!

    I knew him probably from 90210 first, but I actually really enjoyed Daniel Cosgrove as Scott when he returned to AMC in, I think, 2011.  He had a very cute slow burn romance with a character named Madison and they were one of my favorite things about the last year of that show.

    And he's worked pretty regularly, including up to today, as Tara pointed on EHG (he's in "YOU" apparently).

    He was really good on "You!"

    Some writers were. In their attempt to distance themselves from normal sugary PR driven mags, they often struck a very snarky (and sometimes sour) tone that was VERY different from most mainstream media (snark was very rare on tv/in mags back then). They would slam people they thought weren't cool and act like someone put a gun to their head to feature these people. (They had a particular contempt for Milla Jovovich, and they didn't like Shannen, either.) I totally remember this article and feeling conflicted. I didn't really care for Tiffani (well... Really, her characters on both SBTB and 90210), usually loved Sassy's outsider stance, and even at that I felt it was too much. I would venture to guess that some of the ill treatment stemmed from her time as a YM model--and Sassy was definitely the opposite of YM at the time. This was also a magazine that issued a "Cute Band Alert" for Guided by Voices, so there's that.

    I always thought Sassy thought it was just TOO cool for everyone else and disliked it for that reason. I'm 47, same as the people on 90210 and was their target audience, but found that magazine to be super annoying. I know a lot of people did and am happy they had it, and I rode a LOT of public transportation pre-Internet and loved having magazines for the bus (books for trains). But I still only read it if there was nothing else.

    I am in love with the top 5 lifetime movies starring the BevNiners.  I know we've talked about them in the past- but I just love them.  This could have easily been a top 10.  I'd add for honorable mention "Lies of the Heart- the Laurie Kellog story" (Garth and Trapper John MD), Death of a Cheerleader (Spelling and Becca from Life Goes on), and She Fought Alone (TAT and BAG).

    So, this marriage with Matt and Lauren- was it so she could get health benefits? How was she ok with him dating Kelly? I'm so confused...

    LOVE "She Fought Alone!!!"

    You know, in a weird way that was always why I thought the costume department kind of sucked. It was exactly what my friends and I were wearing...in our small boring one mall having suburb. Brenda in particular always looked like she shopped at Mervins. It a TV show! The clothes should look better than what I could buy with my babysitting money! There was no clothes porn for the longest time, if ever. I know the 1990s were sort of a weird anti-fashion moment, but step it up.

    WHOA!!! I just was watching a "New Adventures of Old Christine" where she very indignantly corrected someone on the name "Mervins." I'm from NY, now in Colorado, never have heard of it, now it's twice in 24 hours!!!

    We covered the veggie burger moment on the podcast; Brenda reacts as though she's not sure she actually is a vegetarian since the thought of a veggie burger seems to gross her out. Doherty, Garth, and Spelling might all be vegetarians, but that hasn't been established on the show.


    In a later season, Kelly calls herself a vegetarian I believe but she's actually pesca, because she gets that Lobster Newburg with someone and doesn't it make her sick? Think it was a random guy, not main boyfriend. I can remember the randomness of Lobster Newburg, but not the guy she eats it with!

    Death of a cheerleader!!!That’s my favorite life time movie. But there’s also a fun one with TAT and BAG and I can’t remember the name. Tori has been in a whole bunch though.

    She Fought Alone!

    I have a friend who was an eyewitness to the famous fit and I was told Shannen Was horsing around and flipped up Jennies skirt unbeknownst to Jennie and her ass was hanging out while she was filming. The shot wasn't shooting that part of her body. When the take ended Jennie saw it and was embarrassed and angry and that's when the physical fight started. It started indoors and ended outdoors in the parking lot. Hair pulling fists flying all of it. Shooting that day was suspended for all of the cast and crew and they all had to come in early crack of dawn the next day to reshoot the scene.

    I did Jennie Garth's workout video SO much and remember her saying her least favorite part of her body was her "tushy." I think she always looked great, but as someone the same age as The Gang with thick legs and an ass, it was always a source of self-consciousness for me, especially before thickness and especially asses were more prized like now. So I could see that being extra humiliating for her. I definitely would have been back when I was more self conscious about my butt.

    I love buying shit online at all hours and I wouldn't change a thing, but there were certain consumer rites of passage involving The City that have gone the way of the dodo that I'm glad I got to do before things changed.

    Yes to all <3 I actually was late for Val's first ep because I had to go to Drama Bookstore from Long Island to get a monologue book and the train was late!

    In a showdown of "Teen Douchebag Lead Characters," does Brandon beat out Dawson Leery? It's a really tough call for me. At least Dawson never tried to solve racism.

    "At least Dawson never tried to solve racism" caught me totally off guard and I laughed so hard!

    And thank you to everyone in this thread to more Nikki info! I lovvvvvved Nikki!

    Bye Nikki - I'll miss you the most of any of Brandon's girlfriends we never see again. I'm already indignant that you're not the one the Brandon remembers most fondly at the senior breakfast

    Omg yessss!!! That upset me so much! First because I loved her, but really? Gabrielle Anwar from one ep? Whatever.

    Because Brenda barely gets in the van to LAX before he's glued to Kelly like white on rice.

    Ha! Especially fitting since Kelly wear that epic white outfit when she came to his cabana (?) and closed the door behind her :o

    Re: Dylan's not liking Kelly early on, I think one of the big things with them in the summer eps and then S3 was that Dylan started seeing Kelly's depth and vulnerability, and that she was also troubled, not just some shallow Plastic, before the Plastics existed.

    That's good to know! It's sure is a different world from when I was a child of the 70's and there was only one kind of pot. Of course it doesn't do me any good since I live in a state where it's still and probably always will be illegal. 😏

    Ugh, I'm so sorry. The federal ban and legal issues truly rile me. Don't want to get in trouble for being OT, but I hope that changes for you. It truly is such a beautiful medicine and has come so far. And for the record I was SUPER against it until I was 27. I'm 46 now so also a '70s kid, though not indulging in cannabis then! :) But nothing in the world ever helped my stomach, and I felt like I was never going to lose the 30+ pounds I put on in just a few months in 2000. Till I started smoking and ate a fresh sweet potato and was like omg this is what food should taste like! Yes ice cream also tastes amazing and the munchies are real, but it totally changed my relationship with food, especially because one reason I kept eating such crap was my stomach issues.

    To pull it back to the subject! I do get the concept of being fully sober, but it has definitely made me uncomfortable, how the VPR people conflate weed with alcohol. It's definitely a complex issue. But I've known SO many people, especially living in Colorado, who've been alcohol free for YEARS and years with the help of cannabis. And alcohol is so much more damaging, physically and mentally, IMO. So I hope that James manages to remain alcohol-free, not toss it all out the window because he sees it as all or nothing. Especially as he mourns the loss of his fiance <3

    But I'm also one of the people with a soft spot for him. It's really amazing he went two years without alcohol, especially in that environment, and in his 20s. Hope he can continue, and I don't see being "California sober" as such a bad thing; I truly don't. In general I try not to judge, but I do hate what I've seen coke do to people, though again, everyone needs to make their personal choices. Just think he'd be just fine sticking with weed and shunning the rest. Complete sobriety just doesn't work for everyone. Not to say other issues shouldn't be addressed, for sure, and I think Raquel definitely made the right choice. I would just like to see more of a continued focus on his anger issues, less on trying to quit weed.
