It’s interesting to note just because of how far TV has come. It’s also totally 80s to barely show foreplay and have the sex implied with a scene of the two of them getting dressed rather than cuddling between the sheets afterward.
They will always deserve more.īack to the dance. The vibe might still feel cheesy watching it today, but maybe a little bit more responsibility on this one episode could’ve prevented The Dylan/Brenda breakup in Season 2. But it still would be a more powerful episode if Brenda and Cindy had a talk similar to the one mentioned in our review of Beverly Hills, 90210 Season 1 Episode 7, “Perfect Mom.” I don’t mind how sugary sweet and perfect it all is. Plus, it’s a bit cliché to have them sneak away to a hotel room during a school dance. It’s quite idealistic about someone’s first time. “Spring Dance” doesn’t get into those consequences. Beverly Hills 90210 Season 1 Episode 21- “Spring Dance” There’s nothing wrong with enjoying sex as a teenager if you are choosing your partner for the right reasons and are prepared for the consequences that come with it. They originally break up, you might remember, because Brenda says she’s not ready for their sexual relationship.
The gossip online is that Brenda and Dylan’s Season 2 breakup happened in part because of backlash that Brenda is “too happy” when she loses her virginity. I love that storyline as it’s depicted on this episode. I have to say, perhaps none is more so than the spring dance on Beverly Hills, 90210 Season 1 Episode 21, “Spring Dance,” because Brenda loses her virginity to Dylan. The show has some pretty memorable high school moments. It’s time for our first dance of this re-watch.Ī “Spring Dance,” that is.
