Fall Premiers!

Sydney dying immediately while I knew that was the entire premise of the show still made me really sad. Syd's my favorite character from the original series, and of course Michael my second favorite. I love their scene together the most. But it was a LITTLE ridiculous how she used Michael cheating on his wife with her to stipulate that he must not be happy. Syd, Michael Mancini, I think you've met before right? Michael hasn't been faithful to a single person ever. I also wonder if all the ominous things about Michael's wife means that she's going to be someone we know (one of the old characters I mean) I would like it if Jane was fucking stupid enough to do that again.

ELLA!!!! Okay, I admit I went into this biased because I <3 Ruby on Supernatural, but she was the best character without question. I'm always drawn to crazy bitches. But seriously Ella, let's try and use a LITTLE more subtlety about how desperately in love you are with Jonah. That's going to play out nicely though I'm sure of it. But she had a bunch of good character development already and I was pretty happy with her little blowout with Sydney. I hope we'll be getting lots more Syd flashbacks because she's the queen of the horror show that is the Melrose Place apartment complex. SPEAKING OF WHICH, I'm very impressed that they got the actual complex back!!! I honestly didn't think that was going to happen and I would have to throw a hissy fit about it. But they did, and I am throwing a happy fit.

Auggie, really, Sydney helped you get off drugs and alcohol, really, Sydney, really? Next you're going to tell me Alison has a 10 year chip. I hope you really did kill her because that would make more sense.

Lauren's a cutie. I love Stephanie Chaves-Jacobsen (the actress obviously) in everything I've seen her in and she's good in this too. I almost feel bad that she has to be on the show because I don't really see it as much of a launching point to the career she deserves. But hopefully I'm wrong. Her character is interesting. I'm glad she whored herself out, it was the right thing to do. I actually watched this with my mom and she was like "I would never have done that." and I was like "Yeah...that's stupid, it's $5,000, that's easy work for $5,000 if the guy's not gross. I totally would have done it and not have thrown a fit about it first."

Riley...oh good...Plain Jane 2.0 is on the show.

Jonah. Mmmhmmm. We all liked Adrian Brody on The O.C. but let's get over that please. Or just throw in another 10 references to the adorble nerdy things he does every week, that will make him more endeering so when he fucks Ella in a restaurant bathroom while Riley's over by the table eating the house salad (dressing on the side) we won't hate him as much. And that scene is only like 6 episodes or less away. So get ready for it.

David is another one that kind of falls flat for me. He's just constantly insisting how put upon he is. But he's Michael's son so I'm willing to cut him some slack...and apparently a cat burgaler...which makes him a little more interesting to me. Let's see what happens when he takes his clothes off. I reserve my opinions until then.

I have saved the best for last. Ashley Simpson-Wentz come on down!!! If you didn't find Violet creepy as FUCK when you were watching this there's something wrong with you. Or you probably don't know the Melrose code...on Melrose Place red hair=CRAZY FUCKING BITCH! Every time. No exceptions. I guarantee you that Violet is going to be the most insane thing ever. Right now not only is she being little-miss-secrets (though only the audience knows that) but she's going to single white female out about Sydney so she can fuck Auggie and it's going to be amazing.
