RSSTV Gal Extra: '90210'
I don't want to sound too dramatic but last night was the most perfect television experience of my entire life.
As you know there is no show for which I have more deep-rooted affection than 90210. So imagine being me, saying good bye to the West Beverly gang eight years ago and accepting the fact that that part of your TV life had come to an end. That you would never see those characters again.
And now they are back and we learned that Dylan is the father of Kelly's son Sammy. When Brenda said, "You're never going to be happy with someone else because you are still in love with Dylan," I paused my TV, screamed with delight, clapped, and then did a little dance around my living room. And then I watched that scene about 10 more times. I'm just so happy to have these characters back on TV again.
You know this means only one thing -- Luke Perry is SO coming back to play Dylan McKay. I'm convinced they wouldn't have mentioned him unless they knew for sure he'd be back. I'm so excited.
Also many of you have asked me what I think of the other characters on the show -- you know the ones the show is supposed to be about. Well I definitely think Silver is the best teen character and I like her potential romance with Dixon. Ethan is growing on me. Naomi is the only character I'm not picking up what she's putting down. But I'm trying to remember the Peach Pit wasn't built in a day. The early episodes of the original 9-0 weren't their best either.
What did you think of last night's 90210, talk about it below or email me at amytvgal@zap2it.com. And for my regular Wednesday post, click here.
As first post I just wanna say: Those girls are the show are waaaaay too skinny.
Amy, I thought of you the minute Brenda said Dylan's name. I too am watching the new show because I enjoyed the old one so much. Althought the new characters get the majority of screen time, I look forward to catching up with the original 9-0 characters. I do like Silver & Dixon and hope they explore that more. The way they are writing Annie is making her unlikeable... she gets on my nerves and it's only been 3 episodes.
Amy, you know I am right there with you, i am a tried & true 90210 fan and there were alot of bad episodes in the beginning of the original (but i still kept watching) and I still watch on RERUNS!
Dylan it is! Love Luke Perry in all he does (even Windfall!!)
Enjoy some of the new characters like Silver and Dixon, I even like Ethan, but good lord, Annie is over the top giggly and smiley too much!
Naomi, not so much, but they seem to be toning her character down a bit.
I really enjoy your columns and you can 90210 me all you want, i'll keep reading it all!
Run away, Luke, run!!!!!!
Just a thought...
Now I haven't yet watched last night's episode (and no I don't care that the baby daddy mystery is now ruined for me. I read the ends of books first too!), but everyone is saying Annie is giggly and unlikable. Wouldn't that make her a normal teenager??? All the 15 year old girls I know (daughters of friends, etc) are EXACTLY that way. Perhaps this makes her more believable.
Again, just a thought.
I'm uber excited about Heroes coming back! I really loved the first season, and I liked the second season. I think everyone's biggest gripe with the second season was the slow pace, but if you remember the first season had a very slow reveal as well. It definitely built to something. I'm hoping the writers learn and adapt to us picky TV viewers....I need me some Hiro! =)
I also was happy for you with the Dylan reveal, Amy. One thing though... am I crazy or was Ethan's house Casa Walsh? I missed it if there was an exterior shot, but that door, hallway and living room are so distinctive!
Oops..I posted under the wrong one. =)
Okay, I don't have a DVR in order to pause and dance, but I did scream with delight about Dylan. I think it's a big possibility that he's coming back. They are so not going to make Kelly Taylor a tragic character who ends up with no one!
Actually, I love Naomi. She's Brooke Davis Jr. I like her depth and the sweetness she hides. The one girl I can't take is Annie. She's starting to push my Brenda buttons.
I was actually excited that Shannon and Jenni actually seemed to *be* Brenda and Kelly again. They are getting back into the groove and that was fun to watch.
And Donna had a baby! Oh, and was I the only one that got a little irritated about the "I can almost hear Donna Martin Graduates" line? They chanted that at the School Board building--not the high school.
Okay, so I'm hardcore. I'm okay with that.
Three ways to tell I'm old:
1. I too am much more invested in Brenda and Kelly than I am in the "new" cast.
2. I can't tell some of the new cast apart. I wish they'd throw in a redhead or somebody with gl***es or something for me to go by.
3. I hear the name "Dixon" and my mind conjures up Lloyd Haynes' character from Room 222.
