Episode 20. Steve wears a large cup.

Brandon and Steve coach a little league team. Steve is on some George Steinbrenner shit and Brandon is on some Disney movie bullshit. Regrettably neither of them runs the team like Marge Schott, which I think would've been great for the show and little league baseball in general.

Brenda adopts a dog and fights with her annoying bitch of a father about keeping him.

This is a nothing episode. Everyone in it is raising his or her voice about shit that truly doesn't matter. Why is Brandon so intense about little kids playing baseball? I mean, really, who the fuck cares? And why is Jim being such a cocksucker? I know the show needs conflict, but let's not make the shit a cartoon.

Temper Temper

Brandon is about to hit this Cheryl girl. Seriously. His tone is like that evil voice that is usually reserved for the most violent Lifetime specials and he talks down to her so hard. Is it really that hard for our boy Jason Priestly to communicate his anger as an actor without it being so up on the d.v. tip? At least his look is moving up, kind of this post- Miami Vice slick look. 

So far the series has swirled totally around Brenda and Brandon, I wonder when the tipping point was? When did they realize, oh shit, Shannen Doherty is completely unlikeable and kind of fugly. I love that it was so unceremonious and they basically shit all over Brenda's character in seasons 2+3 for crapping up the first season. Cheryl just unloaded a great "making love with you was different" schtick on Brando - honestly just sounded like some cheesy dude line.  Brandon took it, kudos to Cheryl for having the best exit so far for the rotating door of "Brandon Babes" (which in translation means "marginally attractive niche interest girls who brandon will make out with but moreover bore to death with his perpetual judging"). 

Jim Walsh on... shaving your back.

"Don't do that shit, who cares."

Episode 4. Initial response

Why the fuck are these grown siblings standing in the bathroom together? Brandon is shirtless. Someone call child protection, this shit is foul and deserves prosecution.

I like the introduction to Brandon's girlfriend from back home. "Yeah I never talk about her because she's not around a lot..."

Dylan and Brandon met in shop class. Alright. I get it. Dylan has to be introduced as the dude running from his father's money and requires salt-of-the-Earth activities to establish that. Makes it easy on the viewer. But when we finally get a look at that shop class the dudes are playing with robots. Robots man. They give us the impression Dylan is doing small engine repair but he's actually building Skynet.

Brandon's girl is real prairie style. Sort of hot in a plain way at times. I like her big hair though.
