According to IMDB the og Erica has acting credits up to 1998 so she definitely didn’t quit the biz. Does anyone else remember how Kelly was always cunty to Erica and how Erica was Team Brenda? She’s probably like “oh great, this bitch!”

Jeez the Bev Niners are a pretty unspectacular, untalented, mediocre bunch. I can imagine being one of their classmates from either high school or college and being like, "you hear that loser David Silver has a nightclub? It's next to that stupid diner they used to always hang out at!" "Yeah I read about it in that asshole Brandon's shitty alt paper. Remember that guy? He was our waiter that time we went to the Peach Pit and he wouldn't stop smacking his gum?"

Oh god, he makes his "be be be my love" cube poo face while he's doing it.

Nor can I, though I feel like around the end of season 6 plots didn't only lasted for like AN episode. Which was super annoying. The David being rough in bed stuff made me think back to the post where we were rating the sexual prowess of the Bev Niners. When I heard "rough" I just imagined David being too over enthusiastic and lots of awkward hair pulling and spanking and oh god I think I feel my lunch coming back up...

More proof that Brandon is a psychopath: I know this is the guy who shot his girlfriend, but it IS a dead body. No shock whatsoever? Not a flinch? Just a dickhead shrug and then whisper-braying in the dead guy's face? BRANDON IS A MONSTER I just want to state that yes, these episodes are beyond awful, but the podcasts themselves have been really funny and it sounds like you're having fun doing them, even if the episode-watching part is HELL. So I hope you stick with it, maybe bring back some guest stars, Well well welly well well etc

Can anyone explain to me the deadline the Beverly Beat is on? If they don't even have a printer? Like vendors are expecting the first issue cuz it's an established paper but Rush fired everyone? The existence of this "newspaper" has me more angry than I thought it would. It brings me a lot of comfort that by the year 2010 it'll be out of business.

I'd like to point out the literal wacky trombone that accompanies Donna's "stuff" in this episode. Is the "tinkerbell disrobing" sexy sound bite going to make a comeback? (I hope so) Theres so much infuriating stuff in this episode but Steve getting handed a newspaper is making my skull explode. Surely, my son who plagiarized in college (and what was his major anyway?) will do a better job running this newspaper than the people I just fired.

Five ways the Beverly Beat offices could go up in flames just like Steve's rave.

HIPAA was passed in 1996!

Wow, yeah, I listen to enough MFM to know that Brandon's intricate description and cold demeanor is a sure sign that he's behind the shooting and probably is a psychopath. The whole thing getting pinned on Brandon and him trying to bray his way out of it and Kelly not being able to help cuz of her amnesia would have made for a MUCH better season 8.

I remember watching this episode when it first aired when I was in high school and screaming "NOOOOOOOOO!" when Kelly's like "who are you?" Because amnesia is the soapiest of soap tropes and they just had to go there. Is this season also going to be all a dream, too? Why didn't I go into TV writing? I can easily write shit this bad!

YES!!! I was just re-listening to this episode and I was like "woah uh no!" I remember Danny Drennan's recaps being surprised that Brandon didn't want to work in Appleton, Wisconsin cuz that's where his probable hero Joseph McCarthy is from? Also funny: Felice was shoe shopping at a store called O'Meyer's? Sounds like a feed store.

Kelly and Brandon shouldve kicked both Val AND Steve out of Casa Walsh, so they could be normie elderly people together and have a whole house to themselves. If Steve liked being roomies with Val so much he could get them their own place (we keep forgetting that Val just got Season 5 Dylan'd so she has no money for a security deposit, first months rent, moving, whatever).

Oh you're right! He was doing it at the Peach Pit while serving people food!!!!

Ok everyone is going to hate me, and I kind of hate myself for thinking it. But when it comes to doing it, Brandon took SEX110 from Lucinda, who probably made damn sure he did everything properly. So, I dunno. But let's just say his hatred for Lucinda after they broke up was so overwhelming that he started doing the opposite of everything she told him to do and he started chewing gum with his mouth open while doing it too, just to make everything more disgusting.

I remember when this episode first aired I was in high school and my best friend and I couldn't get over the fact that they were black candles, like did you get those at a witchcraft store, Donna?

It's so weird that Brandon leaves and the show keeps going, since the whole show was about The Walshes moving to Beverly Hills. I read recently that Hilary Swank was signed on for multiple seasons but ended up getting fired. Man, she really dodged a bullet.

I went to kind of an artsy fartsy college with not a whole lot of departments and I don't remember much cuz I was super checked out, but I think my graduation was all of us in alphabetical order. Maybe by department but I didn't sit with anyone I knew so I'm thinking mmmmaybe not. And we did the whole walk across the stage to get the diploma thing too. I had actually graduated at the end of the fall semester but my school didn't do a separate graduation for then, so I was beyond over it and really grouchy that my parents insisted I do it, but looking back on it they paid for all of it so they could make me do whatever they wanted. Either way, these people are idiots. CU has got to be one of those schools for kids that are rich but really dumb. The next few seasons are going to be really painful (NOAH!!!)

The Bill Taylor/Rush Sanders TV show: Bill pleads down his charges and gets house arrest, but all his properties have been repossessed so he doesn't have a home and has to move in with Rush. They frequently talk about how Kelly is a total capital Q QUNT and Steve is a doofus. Valerie moves in in season 2.

Let's see, CU: admits Russians who don't speak English, puts freshmen on "task forces", casts freshman in the lead roles of school plays, jeopardizes the health of their football players, has professors who head cults, has professors who make up grades for old students to back plagiarism charges, constant vacations, what else?

I KNOW. I feel like anyone who gets a positive pregnancy test and then "gets their period" would also be like "um something's wrong." Endometriosis is also super painful (it's why Marilyn Monroe was addicted to pain pills) and intense, yet she's waiting for her period in white pajamas like she's not about to The Shining elevator everywhere. This might explain why she's always such a bitch, though.

You guys, I think CU might be a not very good school.

How many more episodes are left? Fourteen? I think part of the culture war that has brought us to the disturbing place we currently are re: abortion and women's health is plotlines like THIS where characters get distraught over whether or not to have a baby, like no one ever is just like "oh shit, better call Planned Parenthood." Like even in Val's fake abortion scenario (holy shit ALSO FROM THIS SEASON?!!) she was all like "it was the worst experience of my life!" Like getting an abortion in 1997 was just like getting an abortion in 1847 (anyone here watch Alias Grace on Netflix?)

If I was that dead person this terrible episode was dedicated to I would poltergeist the shit out of the Peach Pit set.

Electric car = not gay Cruelty free shampoo = super gay God, if only the cops had shot Brandon on sight. Last but not least, this reading someone else's diary thing reminds me sooo much of the Golden Girls episode where Blanche read Rose's diary that turned out to actually be her 4H journal from the summer she raised a bunch of pigs. Nice borrowing of storylines, writers!
