Everybody's Talkin' 'Bout It

Mark here...this episode is called "Everybody's Talkin' 'Bout It", the it in question is sex. And yes, this is another "issues" episode, but given the subject, it's actually kind of funny. It's all a bit of a blur, but there's an initiative for condoms in school and then a survey and then an article in the blaze...all about sex and condoms.  We do get our first appearance of Donna's mom at a parents meeting on the subject of handing out condoms and she proves to be a great future nemesis.  We also see Donna defending handing out condoms, which gives David Silver hope for doing it. Poor David. We later find out Donna is saving herself for marriage.  I remember this being a big deal at the time as Donna is a symbol for kids who want to wait.  Blah Blah.  She's as symbol of a patriarchal society because her dad runs the show and doesn't want his daughter having sex (even though in real life Tori Spelling is!).

In any case, the spearhead of this safe sex movement is Andrea?!  Granted, she's never met a cause she didn't like...but really, maybe you should sit this one out Andrea? Brandon says as much to her.

Hey Laurel here...it's all true.  Andrea, the most awkward 30 year old that goes to west beverly is spearheading the movement for condoms in school?!?  Also there's a new kid at the blaze who's totally nerd cute and clearly has a crush on her, and she totally ignores him and/or is actually rude to him.  I kept telling Mark "Andrea!  Open your eyes!!"  Finally at the end she asks him to go to the movies after they finish passing out sex ed materials in west hollywood.  Ah, nerd dates.  I'm curious if we ever see him again.

Cocktail moments this episode...whenever anyone says "condom" (usually awkwardly), whenever Andrea sighs because she's in a huff about condoms, and...when David Silver tries to do it with Donna and she has to explain to him that she's saving herself for marriage.  Ouch.

Quotes of note this episode...When Dylan tells David "What do I look like?  Ann Landers?"  When David asks his advice about "waiting for the right time"  to reserve a hotel room for him and Donna.   SPOILER ALERT...Um, David, it's never gonna happen buddy, at least not until college.

The second, and this might be my favorite of this show so far... Brandon tells Andrea "Maybe you should get a life of your own before it's too late."  Ok, I know this is super mean, but as you know if you have ever read one other tvdinnernight post about Nine-0, I fucking hate her.
