    Val's ability to do David's taxes aside, shouldn't his taxes/finances be more complicated given he had to declare bankruptcy last year re: the PPD?

    I think any Mean Girl-ing Tiffani-Amber Thiessen was getting was probably A factor in her leaving, but not THE factor.  I think, mostly, she looked around and was like, "Okay, I've been here for four years and I've successfully shed the good girl/Kelly Kapowski thing.  And now this show is limping around, even the main star is leaving, so I think it's time for me to try something else."

    Honestly, yeah.

    By season 9, I'm pretty sure being on such a tired show was starting to look bad. I mean, it was looking like it was full of people who probably couldn't find work anywhere else. Luke Perry crawling back on after his career failed to go anywhere probably sealed that impression. So, when the guy who had been there since day one and who was, arguably, the lead jumped ship, she jumped too. 

    Getting away from the show's resident harpies was probably just a bonus.

  2. I actually think there's a one episode gap - Brandon leaves episode, in-between episode, Valerie leaves/Dylan returns episode.

    Yeah, there is. I looked up the episode summaries and the first handful of episodes in season 9 are just people coming and going.

    Brandon is in episodes 1-3, and 5, Val is in 1-7, and Dylan comes in at the end of episode 7. And there's also the introductions of NeoBrandon in episode 4 and NuVal in episode 7.

    Sydney was on 90210?

    Laura Leighton was on, but not as Sydney which I found really confusing by the time I got to watch the episodes. 

    But 90210 and Melrose were in the same universe, so why was she someone else?

    You know what? Who cares.

    Moving on.

  4. I'm trying to think of something to comment on, but there's nothing. This episode was complete and utter nothing. These huge-ass seasons are so pointless. At least they trimmed it down to 26 episodes in season 9, but that's still 4 too many.

    Anyway... 10 episodes to bye-bye Brandon.

    A boutique named Now Wear This, a name that's maybe (MAYBE) ok written out but is so dumb when spoken. It was also staffed by the girl from Charles in Charge who isn't Nicole Eggert. 

    Kelly also goes from working at the Clinic Clinic to Now Wear This, then her own PR firm (she believes in every one of her clients), and is then a guidance counselor in the reboot.

    Wow. Just wow.

    Originally, I stopped watching after Dylan left in season 6. So, while I missed the awesome ridiculousness of both coke!Kelly and Terruh Streetchild, I definitely made the right decision.

    DOES SHE GROW IT OUT BC I REMEMBER IT LONG TOWARDS THE END WHEN HER AND DONNA OPEN A BOUTIQUE

    They what now?

    I mean, I can understand Donna the designer~ eventually opening a boutique, but why Kelly? That makes no sense for a receptionist/non-nurse.

  7. I do wonder if it was the actors' own personal style that got mixed in with the costuming. 

    Val, David, and Donna probably dressed closest to their ages, because the actors themselves were more or less the ages of the characters they were playing. Everyone else was 4 to 11 years older than their characters were. Ian was 34 in this episode and he dressed like a 34-year-old. Too bad Steve was only 23. 

    Dylan also had the same problem. As the show moved away from 80s fashion in season 4, Dylan went from looking like teenager in baja tops to a 30-year-old in suits.

    We need to start a countdown when Brandon will finally be gone forever! I know from Jason Priestly Memoir he does 4 episodes in season 9 - we are getting close!!! maybe you should read excerpts from his book until the day comes like you did with Shannon. There is several parts where Jason Priestly is actually braying at people in his book! Its freaking unbelievable

    I looked it up, and counting the two-part season 8 finale as one episode, he has 14 episodes left.

    And we'll never see him again.

    Seriously!  Even for the year this episode was in, 1998, those dresses are WAY outdated.  By about 12-15 years I would say.

    Not by so much, I'd say. In terms of fashion/pop culture, the 80s didn't end until 1992 and there was plenty of holdover thru 1994. 

    And there were also plenty of people over 40 who kept their 80s lewks for the rest of the decade. 

    So, the dresses would've been acceptable for a wedding as far as 1994 (especially a budget one), but 1998? Yeah, no.

    Jason Priestly made an appearance on the new Joel McHale Show. Of course, he looked about as tall as Joel McHale's waist.

    Yeah, I have to give credit to 90210 for not making Priestly look as tiny as he is. Ian and BAG are both 6" taller than him, and he generally doesn't look that much shorter than them. 

    But next to 6'4" McHale? Comedy gold.
