I agree with Brandon, working sucks

Brandon gets some lame bus boying job.. I want to live like Steve. Drive around in my corvette, wear a lederman jacket with tight shorts, and watch a snuff porn that my rich father left in the vcr on my big screen t.v.. That's right Brandon. Throw that napkin at that bitch and quit.

"Why were you guys ex-friends?"

Two great additions to the cast - Anna and Tiffany. We'll discuss Tiffany first, who I believe I will refer to as TyFFanI from here on out. She is WYLD. She steals, gets naked on camera in front of David Silver, and sneers at Cindy within the first 15 seconds of meeting her. I feel as though Aaron Spelling didn't really get to excise this desire for a wild child female character until Valerie Malone (Tiffani Amber-Thiessen), but TyFFanI was a good start. I could see her hanging at early NiN concerts, and I'm sure anyone could relate to the teenager who needs to tell you about their absentee parent within minutes of first meeting them. She also proves to be too wyld for Kelly Taylor, the notorious spoiled brat skank of the series. Oops, episode update - TyFFanI's just "been caught stealin'." 

Anna is a sad character - she is the mexican maid who serves as Cindy's only friend since she moved to Beverly Hills, and much of their communication is Anna, wide eyed and frayed, as Cindy rambles on like some old spinster speaking to her cats, furniture, lawn orniments. I guess Anna should have known what she was getting into, her first encounter with Cindy Walsh was as she was outside, furiously gardening.... at 8 am in the morning. 

Episode 3. Get Nuclear

Brenda looks like hell in this episode. Serious car-accident, face-to-gravel-pit, beaten-with-hammer sort of ugly here.

Cindy and Jim's marriage seems to be on the rocks. He's in Chicago with a hot-ass secretary and Cindy is getting close to her Mexican house cleaner.

He seems to be drinking more. I see this ending with key parties and divorce.

Stupid Hats...

won't make you look better Brenda. 

Episode 3 Synopsis

Brenda gets really into the theater and she starts wearing a blazer that makes her look like an amateur magician. Kelly becomes the first albino to become the most popular girl at school. Brandon has to blow a dude to get a waiting job.

One of Brenda's friends with an enormous ass stuffed in a pair of jean shorts shoplifts some ugly old lady frock, followed by some ominous music. Mrs. Walsh hangs out with a maid who cant speak english (obviously) and it becomes very poignant, although i dont remember what they were saying at all. Mr Walsh comes home and they fuck. I think.

Brenda gets caught with her klepto friend and Mr. Walsh is very disappointed and decides to banish her to her bedroom closet where Brandon and her talk about how they both feel like migrant workers (the maid that works for them) .

Brandon says fuck everything and Dylan helps him get a job at the Peach Pit, where he is selling coke out of the back of anyway. The Walsh's sit at the dinner table like a bunch of assholes. End.

Episode 3. Initial thoughts.

Jim Walsh makes an appearance this episode but is still "in Chicago." I don't understand this foil at all. Why is he in Chicago? They moved to Beverly Hills for his job.

They were still working out the character kinks here. Is Kelly a stank bitch or what? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Pick an archetype and run with it, writing staff.

Weird soundtrack on this one. Sort of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Original Movie Soundtrack but way less urban. But I guess you need a lot of music when you are doing three montages an episode.

Episode II: Return of Scott Scanlon

This episode was nice, especially after the 90 minute douchepill that was the pilot. Everyone is more likeable (including Steve!) and it feels better rounded, everyone more comfortable in their roles. Dylan adds to the episode but he as a complex character is confusing. He's a typical deep surfer type who misses his mommy and daddy. WAH. 

Best McKay Moment #1 - Dylan busts out fluent French while calling his parents. 

Best Incestuous Brenda/Brandon Moment #1 - They close the episode embracing and doing some bullshit down the hallway. If I ever went to school with a sibling, I'd do my best not to even look them in the eye, let alone associate. Sorry sister, but I know you'd have it no other way.

SCOTT SCANLON UPDATE

- still hates jocks

- has narrowly recovered his Lakers hat (with his name embroidered on it) from S.Sanders corvette 

- has worn L.A. Lakers gear at every possible turn. I feel like I'm going to see a Michael Cooper jersey pretty soon

- has already established himself as a Milhouse to David Silver's Bart: Though involved in multiple Steve/David convo's, David does NOT introduce him, nor does Steve acknowledge his presence. He just stands there, oggling them both, in some sort of Uatu meets Paul Pfeifer zone.
