Thrilling.

I have personally enjoyed almost all episodes of this show, but this is an episode that especially caught my interest. Most of the stories come either to a conclusion or yet have to get to it, but either way it keeps me hooked the entire time.

This entire peeper stuff with Amanda was short-term, yet it was so sleazy and dangerous that I was kept nervous while Jo rushed to save Amanda. Amanda had really shown that she is as cutthroat as they come. I love that about her, and I especially love that she also has a tender side.

The only part of the episode that I didn't enjoy as much was the Alison stuff. I'm not that into her mood changes lately. Also, the guy that plays Billy is quite a bad actor, but I find it easier to tolerate him than Alison's story.

The best part of the episode was Michael blackmailing his doctor friend at the hospital. I enjoyed every minute of it, and the most best part of the episode was the very end when a very much alive Kimberly made a surprise appearance on the beach. I guess this is the point where things get even better for this show.moreless

and what a development it was...

The moment Kimberly came back from the dead was one of the scariest & creepiest ones ever seen on television, and without it, Melrose Place wouldn't have become The Place to Be.

Turning Kim into the Psycho we all know and love, was a key maneuver, that unfolded the best story-arcs ever: driving Michael over and blaming poor Jane for it, the deranged Betsy-personality locking Peter & Amanda at the mental hospital, and the best of the bests: Blowing up the Apartment complex in 4 explosions from hell.

This first of many cliff hangers was the exact thing that gave Melrose it's edgy style & feeling. Although bringing Locklear on board was good, introducing the Psycho Red-Head was the final spice the show needed.

It's not what it looks like !

It's worse....moreless

FILTER BY TYPE

TRIVIA (1)
ADD TRIVIA
- Beside all the other morally gray things that Alison's psychiatrist did, the fact that he told Billy that Alison was his patient was in flagrant violation of his Ethical Code. It doesn't matter that Billy figured it out by himself, unless she was there with him, Dr. Miller was in no right of mentioning that Alison was seeing him, he broke the confidentiality clause. He could get in serious trouble with his Order.
