Expert Profile: Mel

Expertise: Can Dylan solve quadratic equations? What makes up a "mega-burger"? Believe me, if an answer exists, I probably know it. Whether your question is general, begging the context of all 10 seasons, or completely inane, feel free to drop me a line either way. I will provide episode reference numbers for each response, and plan to have some fun with this. Truth be told, I have yet to see a single trivia quiz that doesn't need correction, and very often publications will get their plotlines/characters/relationships mixed up too. I accept dialogue/scene requests, but please limit your inquiry to one per question. Show forums are where I believe you'll find the most information on obtaining episodes, fan art, etc. Go there for web links, as here I can not give them out directly. The replacement songs on the DVDs are quite obscure. I don't know them. Also, please see my full profile.

Experience in the area
Well, I began watching "Beverly Hills, 90210" at the tender age of 9 and a half, during its original run. By 11, I was a big fan; 13, obsessed; 14, growing bitter. I don't like the later seasons. But, technically, I still watch all of them in some way. Do this for 18-plus years and you'll remember the darndest things.

Education/Credentials
I'd like to say I've earned a "degree" on the life and times of Steve, Dylan, Kelly, Andrea, and Brandon, with specific concentration on Seasons 1 thru 5, any Jack McKay drama, and the guest stars of 1992-1994. Season 4, I think, was the best and strikingly different from any other. I also love David, Donna, Brenda, and Valerie. My only real weakness might be later-season 'stand-in' characters like Matt and Noah, and the ever-changing ownerships of The AfterDark.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? I'd like to forget season eight. No, just kidding (sort of). I'm considering making a related website that wouldn't infringe on copyrights.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: Stephanie Beacham played Luke Perry's mother on 90210, but she also played the mom of Jason Priestley just a few years before, on the short-lived sitcom, "Sister Kate" (1989). Moreover, she played a nun ... and who can forget that?

Something controversial or provocative about this subject Save their personal lives (which I don't follow much), a controversy may be the way in which episodes are numbered. I found a wonderful (now N/A) episode guide years ago where each two-parter is counted as 2, all specials are included, and the fact that the 100/200th episodes weren't what they claim is duly recognized. All in all, there's been 296. If that number is off, so is everything else.

What do you like about this subject? This was a special show, and always will be.
