As TeenDramaWhore.com devotees no doubt remember, I objected to "90210" (or, as I often call it, "nu90210") virtually from the moment it was announced.
“ But what gave the show the right to break up Kelly and Dylan? To nearly separate Donna and David? To have Kelly and Brenda again have their friendship challenged by a man? TO KILL JACKIE TAYLOR?!”
And I am glad that Jennie left when they wan her character to have an affair with the married principal. Kelly was so grown and mature but the end of season 10 of the original series but they turned her into a different character again :-(
I remember having butting heads with you sometimes during your live-blogging but I do understand where you are coming from because you do care for the OG show and its legacy, and I respect that.
While I do like the show with all my heart, I have been critical at times at certain character choices, especially during its last season. And I'm sure it would be an understatement to say the least that you were not happy with the things the writers did to certain OG characters in Seasons 1 and 2.
Surprisingly, they have tied many loose ends that made the cancellation hurt a little less, even if the intention then was to launch the show to a potential time jump that never was.
Nu9-Oh have shaped my own early young adult years in ways I didn't expect, and how relatable "We All Fall Down" turned out to be: From being a sophomore when the show started to graduating college at the end of Season 3, to getting fired from my first career job and lost loved ones around the same time when the show's end was announced during Season 5.
It's something that really got me through the best and worst moments during that period so I really out the show on real high regard. Years later, it was a real treat to see most of the cast reunite on Shenae Beech's Youtube channel, plus Tori Spelling.
At least, we can all agree on one thing: Lannie FTW. :)
Totally agree on this point:
