| Melrose Place - The Big Bang Theory I haven't really followed any TV shows in a bunch of years, and forgot how rewarding the end of a season can be.
Loose ends are tied up and shit, but the weather is usually lovely and it's still light out when the episode ends which reminds me of earlier in the season when it would have been dark for hours before the show airs, and how far we've all come together.
It's sort of like the end of high school, but with cooler people and everybody left wondering who shot the bitch giving the commencement speech and whether she'll live or not.
I decided to relive those days by sitting down at 8:00 to watch the 1995 season finale of Melrose Place.
A few notes.
This episode begins with Sydney visiting Michael in prison. Her hair has a lot of volume, which makes me sad because she gets that straight, Tori Amos hairstyle at the start of season four. I like Sydney/Michael scenes where they're equally shitty to each other and almost kind of friends. As opposed to Sydney being an idiot and just being fucked over by him scenes. And I'm glad it's the two of them who almost get to safe the day in this episode.
Jo waddles into the livingroom and tells her boyfriend dinner is ready. At first I thought somebody had made a glaring continuity error and put Jo in her fat suit even though her baby was born half a season ago. It's amazing what a lard ass this woman can look like at times.
While only a few episodes earlier we see her from behind knocking on Jake's door, and see that she has a great body.
Jane really has perfect facial features, but she's roundly-outhotted by every woman on the show (yes even Jo, but with the possible exception of Alison who's equally sexless) because her character is a drag and has a shitty body. Heather Locklear has no ass, but is still smoking hot. Hey, I just remembered, I think Josie Bissett got fake tits between seasons three and four. I still haven't got the the fourth box set.
I love Kimberly's tailored slacks and the long, pilates quality they give her ass. I used to think Marcia Cross and Jack Wagner were both ugly as sin, but now I see them as intriguingly fuckable.
Are we supposed to think the nobody bitch playing Richard Hart's wife is Joan Collins? Why couldn't they have just gotten Joan Collins? She did an episode of Roseanne around this time. Maybe she had a problem with the character being an old bag who gets dumped for a younger woman.
THAT HENRY GUY KIMBERLY SEES IN THE MIRROR IS A TOTAL FUCKING TWIN PEAKS RIP-OFF. I haven't seen Twin Peaks until recently, but why didn't anybody ever tell me? Is it a homage? I almost think it must be, because otherwise it's a blatant rip-off of BOB from Twin Peaks. And that show had only been off the air for a few years at this point, so people would have remembered. BOB is way scarier though. |
