Dylan McKay is so Dreamy

ok, so i’m going to cheat a little and post some of my old blogs from a site that shall not be named.   JANUARY 8, 2007 My sister and I recently discovered a nightly episode of 90210 that shows on the Soap Network. Tonight I caught what I can describe as my all time favorite moment in TV history. Megan and I both gasped when we realized we were watching the episode. I’m talking about the one where Brenda is in Paris pretending to be a French girl to this American d bag (aka dean cain, soon to be superman) because it makes her feel less guilty or something. Donna is totally appalled and asks Brenda how she could possible lie to Dylan (my dream guy when i was 11) about this guy? Brenda replies, “I don’t know, because lying is fun, I guess.” (!!!!) Of course, what Brenda doesn’t know is that Dylan is really falling in love with her best friend, Kelly! Oh snap, bitch.Closing scene:Dylan (wearing one of those ponchos popular in the early 90s) is sitting by himself at a bonfire on the beach. Kelly shows up with a box of pizza and says, “Did someone out here order a pizza?” Then she sits down next to him and he puts his arm around her. “I don’t even know what I’m doing out here, Dylan.”  As “Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover” plays in the background. Then as they gaze up at the stars a star shoots across the sky. Kelly: ”Wow, that was beautiful.” and then Dylan answers in his raspy bad boy voice, “Well you know what they say about shooting stars, you can’t share them with a friend.” Camera pans out to them next to the fire.Megan and I: DYING!I felt like was 11 years old again. I remember us squealing at the end of that episode, wanting him to ditch Brenda and get with Kelly. Dylan and Kelly were hot together; Brenda was a whiney annoying bitch, plus Kelly was cool and she wore cuter clothes.Everything that could have possible went wrong in someone’s life happens to at least one person in an episode of 90210. Rape, robbery, mob planted car bombs, drugs (the Euphoria episode), all the kids at school knowing you got a nose job, etc. Sure, a lot of it was very contrived and unrealistic…but after growing up in Juneau, Alaska, i know that episodes of 99801 wouldn’t even be allowed on television. Maybe HBO.If you’re a guy, I’m surprised you’ve made it this far. You’re probably rolling your eyes at the fact I’m writing about some cheesy episode of 90210; but I know that there are dozens of girls that have read this that remember that hearthrobbing middle school teen dream moment. I’m just dorky enough to admit it and reminisce via online blog.All in all, 90210 is hilarious to watch at this age because I can laugh at the fact that I was so dramatically moved by this show back then…and now all I see is horribly cheesy lines paired with subpar acting.
