...
the episode discussed here has flowed into the next one on Pluto TV, meaning now we're in Season 5.
Season 5 of
Beverly Hills 90210 was such an absolute-bananas-beyond-ridiculous-so-much-its-still-exciting-to-watch season that even with a lot of the glue to everything being Brandon & Kelly's burgeoning romance, i.e. the most stilted/non-heat/gross/boring couple ever, it didn't slow down this ridiculous avalanche of a golden, magical season of television for even a second.
Is Season 5 of Beverly Hills 90210 the greatest tv season of all time? I mean ffs just at a quick glance we get:
The arrival of Valerie, the most cataclysmic addition to any cast since the shark in Jaws
The departure of Brenda byyyyyyyyyyyyye
Dylan's lost his fortune
Nobody cares but I guess we hafta mention Andrea has a baby
Brandon is dating Kelly behind Dylan's back in the world's most sexless relationship between two attractive celebrities
Dylan's drunken rampage that I guess was NOT supposed to be incredible comedy?
The whole Dylan/Val thing
Brandon runs for student government which for some reason is wildly cool to kids in college
Of course his running mate is killed
We met Ray Pruitt ooooh we hate Ray Pruitt!
Although camon this is hysterical
Brandon is asked to take down a brutal genocidal dictator from another country because of course that's what college student presidents do
The Peach Pit is born DID YOU HEAR THAT IN THE MIDDLE OF EVERYTHING ELSE NO BIG DEAL THEY ALSO START THE GODDAM PEACH PIT!!!!
DYLANS GOT A GUN!! A moment so explosive it does the unthinkable and makes Brandon funny!!
Kelly is trapped in a fire because that's one of maybe 6 horrible things that hadn't happened to her - was there any conceivably dangerous plot line they didn't give Kelly? Kelly gets raped. Kelly gets raped AGAIN (attempted), and has to shoot the dude. Kelly gets shot randomly, Kelly lives in a gutter with other crack rats, Kelly almost gets killed in a fire, Kelly has every eating disorder (which at least gave us one of Xmastime's greatest posts of all time, thank you horrible Kelly!), Kelly was on the Space Shuttle Challenger, Kelly was on the Titantic, Kelly was at Dealey Plaza and Kelly sold victrolas in Nagasaki.
Milton Berle even wanders through an episode in his bathrobe for some reason
Dylan and Val go to Mexico to get Dylan's money back with some sexy cloak & dagger shit
The whole Kelly/Professor Finley thing
Nobody cares but Andrea has an affair
David ends racism, surprisingly not by agreeing to give up his "music" forever
And this is just this shit I have the energy to type about.
