Episode 2x23: Cardio-Funk
Beverly Hills 90210 - Season 2
Episode 2x23 - Cardio-Funk
My Alternate Title: - "Nobody Actually Takes Karaoke Seriously, Do They?"
Quick Recap: Kelly's mom and David's dad are getting married and also having a baby. I know, Jackie's like...45? It's a little creepy. I'm more afraid the baby will look like Mel Silver, cause that's just terrifying.
Dylan and Brenda have been doing really well in their relationship lately. No big fights or arguments, and Dylan planned a really nice romantic Valentine's Day for them. Hooray for them.
Quick Overview: Okay, forget everything I just said about Dylan and Brenda, because we're about to have a doozy of an episode. Brenda starts taking a cardio class with Kelly, and develops some random crush on a dude named Tim. I don't know who he is, or where he came from, but all that cardio is obviously doing a number on Brenda's senses.
Not to be outdone, Dylan runs into that random surfer chick from the first season. You remember, the one who almost drowned because her idiot friends let her go surfing when she was drunk? So, she and Dylan meet in their mutual AA group, and start to flirt. Again, Dylan is clearly not thinking rationally.
In a completely random story line, Jim Walsh and Nat decide to start having karaoke nights at the Peach Pit to boost business. For the love of God, don't let Jim bring his keyboard...
-I definitely do not have the coordination for this kind of cardio workout.
-...And apparently neither does this Tim guy. I feel better now.
-Sarah asked Dylan if he still sees Brandon, and he said "Yeah, at school...and then some." Just the way you say that Dylan, it really makes me wonder...
-Holy Smokes! Dylan is SMILING! I didn't know that was possible with the amount of brooding he does.
-That awkward moment when your family heard your entire phone call.
-I present to you - a collection of crazy people singing karaoke:
-Jim Walsh getting into it
-Andrea Zuckerman singing very monotone
-Steve Sanders singing off tempo, and Kelly Taylor not even bothering to try
-David Silver and Donna Martin attempting to be the next Sonny and Cher
-And Dylan McKay and Brandon Walsh getting into it, while Brenda wonders how she got stuck in the middle of this
-Although I have to ask - why are they all singing the same song?
-The world's reaction to some random lady's really BAD karaoke.
-The world's reaction to some random dude's really DEPRESSING karaoke.
-Okay, Brenda - when some random guy asks you to dinner your first response shouldn't be "Kelly's my ride." It should be "I have a boyfriend".
-What exactly is the scenery outside the door supposed to be? Water? Ridiculously blue sky? Lazy props department? Ridiculously bad blue screen?
-Hmm, let's see - Go to an AA meeting and support your boyfriend, or blow him off for a cute college guy at cardio class? Let's think about this Brenda...
-Brenda gets pissed off that Dylan is helping an old friend with her abusive boyfriend...but receives flirty phone calls and makes plans with random college guy. It's obviously definitely two very different things...
-Um...WHAT IS HAPPENING!?!
-I keep forgetting this was back in the day when all exercise outfits had to be shiny.
-Why exactly would you do this in front of your boyfriend?
-Umm...WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING!!!!
-So, Brenda dumps this Tim guy, and now he's hitting on Kelly? Methinks this guys is a wee bit desperate...
-Oh dear God, someone please just make him STOP!
Kelly: I can't believe you.
Kelly: You were totally coming on to him!
Brenda: I was being sociable, that's all.
Kelly: Well, I don't think Tim was able to make that subtle distinction.

Cindy: Uh...you're not going to stand up and sing are you?
Brenda: Don't worry mom, you'll only be embarrassed in front if 150 of our closest friends.

Brenda: I know who Ben is. Dylan's told me a lot about you.
Ben: Not as much as he's told me about you.
Brenda: I was afraid of that. Not too much, I hope.
Ben: Don't worry, your secrets are safe with me...and a room full of alcoholics.

There is not one soul in Beverly Hills that could actually make a living off of karaoke.
