1989 brings a wedding. But present day happenings are the most interesting.

The premise is great. The acting is not. The writing is not. How did they take something that sounded like a second cousin to 24 and make it a mixture of Beverly Hills 90210 and Knots Landing?

I am sure there is supposed to be a star to this show. Somebody here is supposed to step forward and be the break out newbie for the year. The problem is that it just is not happening. I feel like we are watching an infomercial for the best of the 80s cd collection. When the background music is the best part of the show, then something is wrong. Revealing the living members one by one has been a painfully slow process. Granted, it was made slower by the baseball playoff interruption. But no amount of World Series fever can explain how a girl who finally beds the man of her dreams tells him to run away without her.moreless

A pivotal year with some intriguing developments.

By SWERJ321, Nov 06, 2005

Once again, things on this show don't work out the way you expect. I thought they were going to hold off on Aaron/Carla for a while but it is good to see them together, if only briefly (that is, until 1999). I like the tension between Carla and Jenna and how that might play into their futures.

Also didn't expect the Will/Craig/Sam thing to blow up so fast but it makes sense. I do find it more than a bit hypocritical that Craig is upset over Will busting his dad considering that Will went to jail for him. Leaving off with Sam on the verge of her choice between them was a good call.

The modern-day developments are quite interesting. Again, surprised the detective found out so fast about Will's innocence in that hit and run so long ago. There's also the surprise of Craig not only a senator but in a wheelchair which raises more questions over the paths these people take, which is a major part of the show's appeal.

And at the end, we find out it's either Jenna or Sam who was killed. I won't guess anymore which one it is since this show has so many surprises in it and that's the fun of watching. We can be sure that the paths of these people are going to be interesting to watch if the audience keeps up with it.moreless

And then there were two... Jenna or Sam?

I thought there was no way it would outdo the last episode. I was wrong. The drama is indeed getting juicy. The baseball season ruined it; the show's incredible momentum was unfairly interrupted.

I think the show is getting a bit smarter, just as the characters are getting smarter themselves. Aaron finally realizes Carla as a potential love interest (Hands down - best part of the episode). Craig figured out that Sam is also Will's girl. It took years, but at least, we only endured it for four episodes. I think the show is heading towards the right direction. All that immature plotting in previous episodes seem forgivable now.

As to who I think dies? I'd say Jenna.moreless
