My Favorite 90210 Episode



We just watched my favorite 90210 episode ever, "Highwire" (S03E09). It's the one where David accidentally sees Kelly (remember that by season three he's her stepbrother, is dating her friend Donna and is ostensibly over his crush on her) naked. He then proceeds to obsess over it during the entire episode, creating tension between them. The secondary plot lines involve Brandon and Brenda's college plans, Steve trying to get his hands on a master key to the high school, and Andrea's attempts to balance her huge workload at school.

I haven't seen it since it aired in first run at the beginning of the sixth grade, but it really stuck with me. Most likely because, for 1992, the first 60 seconds contains a lot of skin, and I'm sure I had a total bone for Jenni Garth when I was eleven. On second watching, it's really not a very memorable, or particularly good episode.

I whipped up this little mosaic from screenshots to illustrate the first minute of this episode. Oohlala!

Thanks to epguides.com for existing, because I use it ten times a day.
