Culture Shock

Hey, everyone! So, who got to see the new episode of Melrose Place yet? I watched last night and I thought it was a step up from past weeks. The highlight for me was, as usual, Ella. Who knew David Cassidy’s one-time aspiring pop star daughter had such a set of teeth on her? She’s more than holding her own against most of the characters. Syd can still get under her skin, but the new guys have no chance against her.

I’m surprised to say that Ashlee wasn’t that bad, either. I’m just not sure where they’re going with the character. One week, she’s the naive little good girl, then she’s an unstable syd-stalker and now, she’s a conniving job stealer. Of all her personas, I’d say the latest one is the most entertaining.

Where do I ever start with the others? I see fans commenting online all the time about Dr. Call Girl’s lack of applying for student loans. I would definitely like to see this addressed on the show. It can’t be pride, that’s for sure. I also wanna know what little miss school teacher is thinking asking her to be maid of honor when she can’t even get a couple hours free one day to go dress shopping. The only entertaining aspect of these stories will be the inevitable meltdowns coming from both sides. I kinda actually liked/felt for Speilberg this time around. His best friend almost ruins his career, gets all high and mighty about being accused and Speilberg ends up having to apologize to him? Not right. Speaking of the klepto…. he is definitely his father’s son, pulling such a crappy move. I would like to end this with one last question and see what answers y’all can come up with. Consider it a game! The question is- why didn’t that poor girl mention Violet was covering for her for awhile and, therefore, had access to the cash register? Inquiring minds wanna know…
