Brandon"s Hair is Different

It looks weird. Maybe less gel? Oh shit. I just realized... no mullet!

Episode 2. FInal Thoughts.

This is becoming a real clash of cultures.

An Open Letter to a Friend

Dear Minnesota, 

I think I should let you know you are harshing everyone's mellow with your better than you attitude. Really, why are you judging everyone? So what if Betty wants to get drunk on the beach at noon? And that her beach bros are good with it? So what if Kelly wants to dress like a slut? So what if Brenda wants to date a 25 year old? Where were you to stop Steve from wearing that shorts / blazer combo, or really anything he has worn to this point. Dude is a commercial for terrible gear. And you need to step up your game. This is problematic behavior that will probably last for the entire run of this television series if it doesn't stop soon.

Also, stop being a wuss about having sex with girls. So far, Marianne has thrown herself at you (quote: "let's take off all our clothes!"), and now Betty aka Sara (for those of you who DONT party) is tryna get hers. In closing, more sex, less judging. 

Sincerely, 

Dylan's got that Supertouch

His surfer dirtbag friends are a lost element of this show. Very rarely were any of the extreneous friends shown (Steve's jock friends, David Silver's dork friends) and they are almost always the best of every crummy stereotype possible. One of Dylan's dirtbag friends has a Bad Brains patch on his denim jacket, and Brandon is enticed by the burnt surfer chick. This is a rare breed that actually exists, I guarantee this girl, and others of her species, all have the most leathery of leather skin that may be the most unattractive female trait possible. 

Burnt surfer chick and dirtbag friends feel very authentic. Also Brandon's babyish reaction to being called "Minnesota" is very believable. Brandon sorta loses points with me here, Grow a sack MINNESOTA.

Episode 2 Synopsis

Dylan McKay. Nerd Protector. Outside steps lunch eater. Human skank radar. Brandon's friend? maybe not. Dylan brings Brandon to his borrowed babe lair and Brandon brushes off this seemingly innocent come-on. Brenda takes an hour to get ready for a megadeth concert (the beach).

At the beach, Steve and David continue their awkward greetings and Brandon saves some surfer bitch from drowning (on her own vomit). That bug-eyed Mrs. Walsh threatens to move the family back to Minnesota and i kind of wish she did so we wouldn't have to sit through twenty ours of this shit. Kelly ditches everyone to go off with her cooler (imaginary) friends.

Dylan talks to his mother's maid in french. Brandon never seems to get with any girls, but seems to embark on some weird mentorship program with them. End.

Episode 2. More thoughts.

Dylan is a certified bad boy. He gets the hottest(?) trim on the beach and drives a convertible.

There is unduly intense exchange between Brandon and Dylan early on that leaves me wondering if they later fall into bed together.

Brandon's love interest in this episode is pretty rough. She's the sex-doll for a surfer gang and looks haggard at 17. I think this is a good look for him. I wish this was the direction I could rely on him taking throughout the series. The show would be a lot more fun to watch if he was picking up runaways and grouping them with Dylan and his wastoid surf bros.

QUICK POLL

More Attractive -  Cindy Walsh or Brenda Walsh

PK - I'll go Cindy because I guarantee she can really work it out on top.

PL - Brenda, definitely. She doesn't have fucking crows feet. Is that too obvious?

RS - Cindy Walsh, she at least looks like a woman, sorta.
