S09.E05: Brandon Leaves

[Maherjunkie]

Do the Walshes stay in Hong Kong permanently?

[Sarah D. Bunting]

Oh, the platform flip-flop is for sure back. If it ever left.

I walked into a Forever 21 because I had time to kill before a movie, and Holy 90s, Batman!  It may as well have been the 90210 costuming department.

Need to chime in on Garth's hair... I think she actually liked it. I'm almost positive I saw a wedding picture with a similar updo/spiky waterfall thing happening. I only remember it because I think she ended up getting married around the same time as I did (2002). I'm old... my wedding counterparts were Gwen Stephani/Gavin from Bush and Sarah Michelle Gellar/Freddie Prinze (they are still together I think).

Oh my god, you're right on the wedding hair. She looked insane when she married Facinelli.

made me sad to see that Tiffani was a bridesmaid- and they aren’t friends now.

Woof, that is some Dr. Seuss level shit. Looks like a doll my little sister had whose hair grew from a hole in her head when you cranked her arm. Every day I'm more thankful for having curly hair that couldn't have done this if I tried.

Holy shit!  Who let her walk down the aisle with that thing on her head?!?!  She didn't have real friends.

WHAT DID I JUST SEE? OMG, my eyes! 

[Kerfuffler]

TV shows never understand how lawyering works. Don't they specialize? So the exact same lawyer would not be doing a DUI case, a child custody case, and helping two twits set up their business?

[Earmuffs Mom]

Most attorneys do specialize.  I don't know any attorney would who handle a DUI, a child custody battle, and set up businesses.

A few years ago, I dressed as my "90's me" for Halloween (jean shorts, tights, flannel shirt, boots) and several of my young staffers said the look was totally appropriate now.  WTF?!

I am hoping we don't get the sundress with the baby tee underneath or (I apologize in advance for my participation in this), the platform flip-flop.  Are we entering the phase of the satin jeans, not-quite-racist-Chinese inspired tops, or the super mini skirts with the big slits? 

Oh, the sundress/slip dress with the baby tee underneath is 100% back. I have seen my younger co-workers wearing it. I'm less offended by those than by the return of Laura Ashley florals, to be honest.

[lefawn]

Dear, the Laura Ashley florals are back?  I went to my homecoming dance my sophmore year in one of her dresses.  It was satin and cream colored but had the big pink, blue and green flowers all over it.  It also had this totally awkward neck/shoulder line that was a really heavy lace.  I, of course, wore my hair up with a few trendills of hair on either side of my face and a sparkly faux-jeweled butterfly shaped hair clip.  I look at that picture now and cringe.  I was such a victim of 90s fashion and this show.

[Sharkushka]

I would probably wear Donna's many-handed-Buddha dress, even now (I'm 49). But hers does add new meaning to my saying, "Everything's better with Buddha..." including a covered up cleavern! :)

“Nightswimming” is an REM song. I’m positive Mr. “REM is my favorite band I want on a deserted island” slipped it into the episode on purpose.

[Scarlett45]

@TeeVee329 Jason Priestly was doing a play when the series ended that’s why he couldn’t make it back for filming- hence the video message. 

[GrahamV]

I thought I'd enjoy this episode more than I did. I've been waiting a long time for Brandon to fuck off, but I feel like the show just couldn't quite let us enjoy that, and instead subjected us to a final forty minutes of everyone blowing smoke up Brandon's ass. Val literally calls him an angel. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

To be fair to Val , he was really the only one who liked her And once he left , she’s like aight time to bounce. No one else will put up with me.
