Beverly Hills 90210 Forums

Actually, I didn't say anything negative about Season 7. LOL. I think you meant wilezrules.

I liked Season 7. I agree that most of the episodes weren't as "dramatic" as those of previous seasons but I still enjoyed them. The B/K reunion was spectacular and I anxiously await it everytime I watch Season 7. I really didn't start getting bored of 90210 until Season 8 came along. It became less entertaining without a school environment - whether it be high school or college. But Season 8 was still watchable for the most part and it would have been a good season if it ended with B/K married. Seasons 9-10 are a different story. EVERY episode in those two seasons is painful. I can honestly say that I didn't enjoy a single episode of the last 2 seasons. They were that terrible. Dylan himself was like a faux character, LOL.

You said it for me.

The mere fact that many people (myself included) prefer to think they don't even exist, surely must say something on a bigger scale, as to how seriously damn awful they really were.

How is Brandon cheating on his girlfriend consistent with his character? Brandon is Mr. Integrity and Morality. It's highly unlikely he would do something like that, even if Kelly is treating him like crap like you suggest. He's in love with her, so it makes no sense. That's why I said they did the storyline due to Jason leaving the show. They may have been able to do the anti-wedding without the affair storyline, but the reasons given would make even less sense if the affair never happened. I do agree that the marriage was being rushed. It wasn't very believable that they would get married so soon after Brandon cheated on her.

Even though I hated Emma, I think you may be right. They could've done a lot more with that. If you look at S8-10, the writers really struggled in terms of coming up with good storylines. There really aren't that many possiblities once you're out of a school environment. An affair would be at the top of the list as far as potential storylines go. So if they stretched out the Emma storyline, they could've created a lot of drama and intrigue as to when B/K would reunite. Emma was only there for like three episodes, so if they prolonged that storyline, I assume she would have to be there for the rest of S8. But do you think it was cut short because of Jason's pending departure? Would they have already known he was going to leave at the end of the season? I think it may have just been bad writing.

By far the biggest jumped the shark moment was the faux-wedding IMO. I shudder everytime I think about it.
