Primetimer August 20, 2018 Author Share August 20, 2018 If only by Kelly's stupid hair, as Matt The Lawyer joins the show and Kelly is a bitch about it in the most important snapshots from S09.E04. View the full article Link to comment
TeeVee329 August 20, 2018 Share August 20, 2018 (edited) Holy cow, I didn't remember that Kelly Being A Bitch to Matt (and my gawd, I can't believe we've made it to Matt) about whatever Issue his case touches on started from their very first interaction. Why Matt didn't tell her to lose her number after this is beyond me. Here's something about Noah's drunk-driving case - didn't he kill Dead Beth in a drunk-driving accident? Wouldn't that prior be in his record somewhere (he was college-aged so it wouldn't be in a sealed juvie record), even if the Hunters bought him out of a majority of the charges? And again, why the doubling down on the Dylan 2.0 stuff ("I'm drinking because I have sads about my dad!") when 1.0's return is, like, three episodes away? Shut up, David.

TimeyWimey52 August 20, 2018 Share August 20, 2018 Wow! You weren't kidding about that sign! Hideous. It looks like "clothing" was just printed and glued to some cardboard but that's not even the most offensive looking part. 1 Link to comment
bluebox August 20, 2018 Share August 20, 2018 Worth noting, the guy who plays Matt (Daniel Cosgrove) came from the soap opera school of acting. I remembered him at the time as Scott Chandler on All My Children. I guess 90210 didn't give him his big break, because he went back to the soaps after, including AMC, Guiding Light, As the World Turns, AND Days of Our Lives (dang). Most interesting (to me) is that his first credit is the delightful Jennifer Aniston/Paul Rudd 1998 movie, The Object of My Affection. 1 Link to comment
Kimmykun August 20, 2018 Share August 20, 2018 Matt is fine, I guess? Looks-wise, he's too much like a Sean Cody model for me to find attractive, but character-wise, he's not super offensive. Eh, we'll see. I loathe Val's exit storyline. Of all the things they could've done, rehashing and retconing her abuse and then following it with going back to Buffalo with her heinous mother is the absolute worst. Gives me an idea for a user challenge, though: Five ways Val could've left the show that weren't this. Ugh. Don't really care about the rest of the episode. David, and Sophie, and webcams, and zzz.... Next week we bid Brandon adeus. And we'll never see him (in person) again. 4 Link to comment
TimeyWimey52 August 20, 2018 Share August 20, 2018 I don't understand what is going on with Piss-Face David and Sophie. He seems to hate her 99% of the time...except for when he's sleeping with her. I wish Steve would just punch him in the face and we could be done with it. I never watched these seasons....is there any chance David will be one of the ones we never saw again?? Link to comment
Stowaway August 20, 2018 Share August 20, 2018 I was just going to leave that without comment, but when I was looking for a proper Bianca pic, I found this of the two of them together! 1 9 Link to comment
yousetmeupyoucrud August 20, 2018 Share August 20, 2018 Thanks Tara and Sarah for this nice long episode which filled up a good chunk of my drive today from Chicago to Milwaukee. I was getting off the highway and at a red light when Tara said "Brandon's new auburn tresses" and I started laughing out loud and Sarah's "old man men rinse" really sent me over the edge and I started crying. The person in the car next to me was totally staring. Kelly is shitty in so many ways in this episode. (her telling Donna to blow off work was almost exactly like Brandon telling her to blow off her first day at the Foundation Foundation so they could go to Hawaii) Her "I don't have any problems" speech, aside from being so untrue (like why are you complaining about Brandon not calling you back then, you daughter of a drug addict runaway dad having eating disordered coke fiend) is such bad writing. It would have made so much more sense if she was like "I now realize I'm a rich white girl with my whole life ahead of me, maybe I should stop obsessing about my failed wedding to this guy I met in high school and just live my life." I wish I had any sort of insight into what as going on in the writer's room at this stage of the show, were college interns in charge? User challenge ideas: 5 inappropriate moments in the show where the theme song could have kicked in (I kept thinking it was going to interrupt Val's heavy moment with her mom) and 5 ways the show would be better if Jon Wurster as Philly Boy Roy from The Best Show was a character instead of Noah. 1 1 Link to comment

CurlyATX August 21, 2018 Share August 21, 2018 Anyone else missing Jesse and his smackdown on white privilege (he be gone, he be outta here) when Noah basically gets off for this second DUI? Is this before mandatory sentencing? He bitches about rehab?Wasn't Matt originally into Donna? I feel so bad for these people that they start bringing in... soap veterans who needed to fire their agents on the spot. 4 Link to comment

And when he's arrested, he has heroin on him. And then later he gives a gun to Kelly which she ends up using to kill her rapist. The gun is not registered and Matt tells Dylan he could be in a lot of trouble, so of course Dylan does his angsty tough guy thing. And I guess it works since he never goes to jail, argh! 4 Link to comment

Oh my, I must have stopped watching by then. I vaguely remember the boutique boutique and Sophie’s existence, but the rest is all new to me. Seems I didn’t miss out on anything, but I send my heartfelt thanks to our hosts for sticking with it! 1 Link to comment

TimeyWimey52 August 22, 2018 Share August 22, 2018 I also don't get the point of the webcam at The Beat, where like....four people work and one of them's not even around. Riveting! 2 Link to comment
GoRunner August 23, 2018 Share August 23, 2018 Gads, it’s milquetoast mall attorney Matt time. Ugh. I’m pretty sure heroin-addicted Dylan does not have bellybutton-itis. He can however, apparently drink without issues or problems. Not that being an alcoholic prone to falling off the wagon and getting sick on two airplane bottles of vodka, were ever a remotely important part of his character. WRITERS!!!!!!!!!!Season 9 man howdy. 1 Link to comment
Cekrypton1 August 27, 2018 Share August 27, 2018 "He took his with him, and I can't find mine."The key is the GUN, Noah. THE GUN! You still have it. I am sure it still works "in the lock." (hint, hint.) 1 Link to comment
