For example, one of the newer villains -- weeping angels -- are statues who come to life once you blink or close your eyes, sending you back in time and then “consume the energy of all the days you might have had,” providing an interesting comparison to the hyper-vigilance in our post-9/11 world. But, as the plot lines provide these darker metaphors for a vulnerable Britain, the Doctor serves as an unconventional hero who pointedly never carries a weapon and is known as the “man who can make a difference.” In a world such as ours, it’s nice to be able to place our faith in an alien who still has hope in humanity.\u003c/p>\n\n",

And one of the newer styles of hip-hop dance was created on the streets of Oakland. It’s called turfin, and it looks like a mix between breakdancing and ballet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Turf dancing consists of pantomiming, acting out a story, footwork, something like Michael Jackson — a little bit of slipping and sliding, popping, staying on beat. And just putting your own swagger to it,” explains Jasmine Haynes, who hails from Richmond and goes by TurferGirl. She’s one of a growing group of women trying to make their name in this male-dominated street-dance culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Turfin is the latest in a long line of street-dance styles that borrow and evolve from each other. Many people have heard of popping and locking, popularized during the 1980s breakdancing craze. But there’s also strutting, waacking, flexing, roboting, tutting and — going way back to the 1960s — boogalooing, which was also an Oakland creation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Strutting, boogaloo and robot started first, and then it went in to popping in the '80s,” explains \u003ca href=\"http://agatron.carbonmade.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Agatha Rupniewski, also known as Agatron\u003c/a>.

And also, we assume: don't use a fake ID.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> Real Lesson:\u003c/strong> Here's a lesson all high schoolers should have taken to heart. When it came time for the cool kids to get fake IDs, where did they turn? To the other cool kids? Wrong. They picked the biggest geek in school. Nerds often have superpowers they are willing to use for cool kids that don't bully them. The lesson here is clear: never pick on the seemingly uncool smart kid; if you're nice to them, they'll help you get into clubs. Lesson 2 is for the Screeches of the world: learn how to do useful stuff for popular kids and they'll let you hang out with them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>http://youtu.be/bflYjF90t7c\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jessie's Song\u003c/strong> (Season 2, Episode 9)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Plot:\u003c/strong> Type-A queen bee Jessie Spano wants to have it all: a perfect 4.0, intellectual fulfillment as the show's token third-wave feminist, and now, a musical extracurricular for those college applications in the form of her new girl group Hot Sundae. But there's so much studying, so much rehearsal needed and so many Camille Paglia articles on women in media to read! The solution? Caffeine pills, duh (this was apparently before kids made a habit of selling their Ritalin at finals time). Because this is \u003cem>Saved by the Bell,\u003c/em> Jessie becomes a hopeless addict, who is eventually saved, not by the expected bell, but by childhood pal Zack who soothes the Pointer Sister out of her with memories of sneaking off to \u003cem>E.T.\u003c/em> as disobedient children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Intended Lesson:\u003c/strong> There are a couple here. Just say no! and Don't over-commit! are easily the top two.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Real Lesson:\u003c/strong> Jessie's out-of-control meltdown makes any drug scenes in \u003cem>Sid & Nancy\u003c/em> look freakishly underplayed by comparison. The real lesson behind the lesson though is that Elizabeth Berkeley had a flair for camp that would eventually be realized in her career-defining role as Nomi Malone in \u003cem>Showgirls.\u003c/em> Jessie's manic song and dance routine heralded fantastic things to come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13328\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 360px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-13328 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/08/love_triangle02-360x300.jpg\" alt=\"love_triangle02\" width=\"360\" height=\"300\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">🙁\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Bayside Triangle\u003c/strong> (Season 4, Episode 5)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Plot:\u003c/strong> When walking hormone Zack decides to help Lisa put on a fashion show, it's only a matter of time before he ends up making out with her. Screech's heart is broken when he sees his supposed best friend locking lips with his forever crush. He then publicly humiliates the pair as emcee of Lisa's fashion show in a weird foreshadowing of Dustin Diamond's eventual memoir.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Intended Lesson:\u003c/strong> Bros before hos?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Real lesson:\u003c/strong> Screech always hated Zack...like Dustin Diamond hates everyone on the show who went on to continue to have a career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>http://youtu.be/GbgWk4Rl78w\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>School Song \u003c/strong>(Season 4, Episode 24)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Plot:\u003c/strong> Graduation is just around the corner, but, before they go, the six friends compete to see who can compose the new school anthem. Because Zack is Zack, he sabotages all his friends (remind me why they still hang out with him; is it because he has a cell phone?) and his composition \"Cool School\" makes it to the finals. But at last, after four years of his antics, the gang fights back and sabotages him. All is resolved at the end with Zack's friends yet again forgiving their buddy's psychopathic tendencies because that's what friends are for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Intended Lesson:\u003c/strong> Cheaters never prosper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Real Lesson:\u003c/strong> You can only push people so far before they fight back. It took four seasons, but Bayside eventually stood up to the reign of terror that was Zack Morris, even neutralizing his ability to freeze time. Also, how natural was Jessie in the role of the saboteur in this episode? Yet more proof that the high school valedictorian runs away to become the stair-pushing dancer in \u003cem>Showgirls.\u003c/em> Even if you can't entirely prove SBTB and \u003cem>Showgirls\u003c/em> are part of the same universe, you also can't entirely rule it out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>http://youtu.be/9UreyTaVWm0\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rockumentary\u003c/strong> (Season 3, Episode 22)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Plot:\u003c/strong> In a \u003cem>VH1: Behind the Music\u003c/em> type episode (which we hope inspires the tone of the upcoming telefilm), Casey Kasem tells the story of the gang's garage band \"The Zack Attack\" and the eventual rise, fall, and rise of the six friends as they shoot to fame. Naturally, there's some kind of misunderstanding and they go their separate ways in anger before eventually reuniting to sing their hit \"Friends Forever\" at a big benefit concert at Bayside. Then Zack wakes up. Years later, we're gifted with this \u003ca href=\"http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9juow_zack-morris-mark-paul-gosselaar-200_news\">classic bit on Jimmy Fallon\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Intended Lesson:\u003c/strong> Friendsssss for evvvvvvaaaaaaahhh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Real Lesson:\u003c/strong> Once you get famous, ditch your dead weight friends, who have stuck with you during your rise. Don't worry, if you ever have a crisis, they'll always come back. That's sort of the overall lesson of the series: No matter how poorly Zack treats his friends, they're all terrible codependents and will always return for his abuse. One can only hope the real \"behind the scenes\" story on Lifetime is half as juicy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mylifetime.com/movies/the-unauthorized-saved-by-the-bell-story?mkwid=sadwvsVYG%7Cdt_pcrid_42286122032_pkw_the%20unauthorized%20saved%20by%20the%20bell%20story_pmt_e&utm_source=ltd_tune_google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=the%20unauthorized%20saved%20by%20the%20bell%20story&utm_campaign=The+Unauthorized+Saved+by+the+Bell+Story_Show&paidlink=1&cmpid=PaidSearch_ltd_tune_google_The+Unauthorized+Saved+by+the+Bell+Story_Show_the%20unauthorized%20saved%20by%20the%20bell%20story&gclid=Cj0KEQjwveufBRDlsNb3kb-twMIBEiQASNH0xmWlCNePz8G4HfIsCH9BPohKbyhrAxXkWlZD-ot_y4kaAk_n8P8HAQ\">The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story\u003c/a> airs this Monday, September 1, 2014 on Lifetime. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The episode ends in a boys vs. girls under-age off at The Attic and Zack's mom raids the place because these kids are not 18!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Intended Lesson:\u003c/strong> A true friend is the one who tells you the news you don't want to hear. And also, we assume: don't use a fake ID.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> Real Lesson:\u003c/strong> Here's a lesson all high schoolers should have taken to heart. When it came time for the cool kids to get fake IDs, where did they turn? To the other cool kids? Wrong. They picked the biggest geek in school. Nerds often have superpowers they are willing to use for cool kids that don't bully them. The lesson here is clear: never pick on the seemingly uncool smart kid; if you're nice to them, they'll help you get into clubs. Lesson 2 is for the Screeches of the world: learn how to do useful stuff for popular kids and they'll let you hang out with them.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/bflYjF90t7c'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/bflYjF90t7c'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jessie's Song\u003c/strong> (Season 2, Episode 9)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Plot:\u003c/strong> Type-A queen bee Jessie Spano wants to have it all: a perfect 4.0, intellectual fulfillment as the show's token third-wave feminist, and now, a musical extracurricular for those college applications in the form of her new girl group Hot Sundae. But there's so much studying, so much rehearsal needed and so many Camille Paglia articles on women in media to read! The solution? Caffeine pills, duh (this was apparently before kids made a habit of selling their Ritalin at finals time). Because this is \u003cem>Saved by the Bell,\u003c/em> Jessie becomes a hopeless addict, who is eventually saved, not by the expected bell, but by childhood pal Zack who soothes the Pointer Sister out of her with memories of sneaking off to \u003cem>E.T.\u003c/em> as disobedient children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Intended Lesson:\u003c/strong> There are a couple here.

Because Zack is Zack, he sabotages all his friends (remind me why they still hang out with him; is it because he has a cell phone?) and his composition \"Cool School\" makes it to the finals. But at last, after four years of his antics, the gang fights back and sabotages him.

It took four seasons, but Bayside eventually stood up to the reign of terror that was Zack Morris, even neutralizing his ability to freeze time.

Naturally, there's some kind of misunderstanding and they go their separate ways in anger before eventually reuniting to sing their hit \"Friends Forever\" at a big benefit concert at Bayside.

Don't worry, if you ever have a crisis, they'll always come back. That's sort of the overall lesson of the series: No matter how poorly Zack treats his friends, they're all terrible codependents and will always return for his abuse.

Some of my friends still hold that against me, so it's my pleasure to announce that a real reunion happened last night on\u003cem> Jimmy Kimmel Live\u003c/em>, albeit with only three cast members. Who needs the boys anyway? Ross is everyone's least favorite, Joey's schtick got old by season 3, and Chandler...actually, it would have been cool if Chandler had been there. But I digress... While promoting her new movie \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1663207/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_4\">Life of Crime\u003c/a>, Jennifer Aniston agreed to play along with some fan fiction Kimmel wrote, which included surprise visits by Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow. The skit wasn't that funny, but it didn't need to be with those three women in the same room.

(She became a shutterbug in high school when she took over after Brian Krakow quit taking photos for the yearbook.) After graduation, she did a semester of law school before realizing a legal career wasn’t for her. She bounced around a bit, waiting tables at her dad’s restaurant then moving to California to live with Rayanne for a while, before landing a job as a photographer at \u003cem>The Baltimore Sun\u003c/em>. She now splits her time between photojournalism assignments and freelance art photography, which allow her to travel extensively. She’s married to a writer named Tom, and they have a 5-year-old daughter who Angela both hopes and fears will turn out just like her. Angela’s hair is now blond, and she shudders a little when she thinks about those plaid baby doll dresses she used to wear.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Normal\" style=\"color: #000000\">\u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\" style=\"font-weight: bold;color: #222222\">\u003cimg class=\"alignleft wp-image-13250\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/08/Rickie-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Rickie\" width=\"260\" height=\"260\">Rickie Vasquez\u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\" style=\"color: #222222\"> landed a scholarship to Penn State, where he and Angela lived together in an off-campus apartment with questionable carpeting and a perpetually leaky bathroom faucet. Thanks to the kind influence of Mr. Katimski, he realized the importance of empathetic teachers in the often-brutal high school setting, so he majored in education. After graduation, he got the heck out of Pennsylvania and is now a high school social studies teacher in the New York public school system. He’s beloved by the students, although his focus on social justice issues in the classroom makes the administration nervous. He’s married to the high school’s track coach.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Normal\" style=\"color: #000000\">\u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\" style=\"font-weight: bold;color: #222222\">\u003cimg class=\"alignright wp-image-13251\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/08/Rayanne-232x300.jpg\" alt=\"Rayanne\" width=\"200\" height=\"258\">Rayanne Graff\u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\" style=\"color: #222222\"> graduated from high school, then moved to L.A. and became a party scene staple. After a few blurry years, she realized that she needed stability and a regular paycheck, so she charmed her way into a temp receptionist position at an indie rock radio station. Her perseverance and enthusiasm landed her an on-air gig when one of the DJs called in sick. She didn’t freeze that time, and she’s been hosting her own late-night show ever since. She drinks less now, and she lives with a guitarist 10 years her junior. They fight a lot, but they make up a lot, too. Rayanne’s fashion sense hasn’t changed a bit in 20 years. She, Rickie and Angela try to get together once a year, although it’s gotten harder as they’ve all gotten older.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Normal\" style=\"color: #000000\">\u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\" style=\"font-weight: bold;color: #222222\">\u003cimg class=\"alignleft wp-image-13252\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/08/Sharon.jpg\" alt=\"Sharon\" width=\"200\" height=\"248\">Sharon Cherski\u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\" style=\"color: #222222\"> studied public relations at Rutgers and moved back to Philadelphia to take a job with Penn Medicine’s PR department. She’s now the public information officer there and manages a staff of 20 people. She divorced her high school sweetheart Kyle after 12 years of marriage and shares custody of their two children, a boy and a girl (naturally).

He moved back home and is now the lead clinical researcher specializing in endocrine disorders at Penn Medicine. He and Sharon don’t cross paths very often at work, but when they do, he’s as exasperating as ever. His wife is a sweet and patient woman, whom he loves very much, although he still feels a tinge of irritated fondness when he thinks about Angela. (Which isn’t terribly often, and definitely no more than the normal amount for a childhood neighbor. Once in a while is OK, right?) He spends an hour every weekend tweaking his novel about a bittersweet teenage romance. He's been working on it for 18 years.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Normal\" style=\"color: #000000\">\u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\" style=\"font-weight: bold;color: #222222\">\u003cimg class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-13254\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/08/Jordan.jpg\" alt=\"Jordan\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\">Jordan Catalano\u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\" style=\"color: #222222\"> and Angela continued their on again/off again dance throughout high school, but once she left for college, their contact fell off, particularly when Angela began to meet men who shared her interest in things such as two-way conversations. Jordan rejoined the Frozen Embryos, although the band didn’t do much more than play a few open mic nights at Club Vertigo before breaking up for good. Because he hung around the bar so much, the manager eventually pressed him into service as a bartender and occasional bouncer. He’s still working there, and he’s still handsome, if a little soft around the edges. His dreamily taciturn style is popular with certain female Vertigo-goers. He’s got a 10-year-old daughter he sees every other weekend. When Angela bumped into him last year on a visit home, she briefly wondered whether things would’ve been different for him if he’d gone with her to watch \u003cem>The Bicycle Thief\u003c/em>.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Normal\" style=\"color: #000000\">\u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\" style=\"font-weight: bold;color: #222222\">\u003cimg class=\"alignright wp-image-13255 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/08/Danielle.jpg\" alt=\"Danielle\" width=\"243\" height=\"262\">Danielle Chase\u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\" style=\"color: #222222\"> is the youngest state senator ever to be elected to the Pennsylvania General Assembly.

He was a pioneer of the farm-to-table movement and, over the years, has developed a bit of a reputation as a bad boy chef. This success did far more to repair his relationship with Patty than any amount of marriage counseling; turns out, he just needed the ego boost to be more content with his home life. Once it became clear to Hallie Lowenthal that Graham wouldn’t ever act on their flirtation, she ditched him for greener fields.

Angela calls to chat with her mother a couple of times a week because she (like many viewers who re-watched the show two decades later) came to realize that Patty wasn’t the bad guy and was instead just doing her best to make sure her daughter made it through the adolescent hellscape that was high school with her heart and self-esteem intact.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Normal\" style=\"color: #000000\">\u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\" style=\"font-weight: bold;color: #222222\">Tino\u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\" style=\"color: #222222\"> is dead.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Normal\" style=\"color: #000000\">\u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\">Agree?

(She became a shutterbug in high school when she took over after Brian Krakow quit taking photos for the yearbook.) After graduation, she did a semester of law school before realizing a legal career wasn’t for her. She bounced around a bit, waiting tables at her dad’s restaurant then moving to California to live with Rayanne for a while, before landing a job as a photographer at \u003cem>The Baltimore Sun\u003c/em>. She now splits her time between photojournalism assignments and freelance art photography, which allow her to travel extensively. She’s married to a writer named Tom, and they have a 5-year-old daughter who Angela both hopes and fears will turn out just like her. Angela’s hair is now blond, and she shudders a little when she thinks about those plaid baby doll dresses she used to wear.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Normal\" style=\"color: #000000\">\u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\" style=\"font-weight: bold;color: #222222\">\u003cimg class=\"alignleft wp-image-13250\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/08/Rickie-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Rickie\" width=\"260\" height=\"260\">Rickie Vasquez\u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\" style=\"color: #222222\"> landed a scholarship to Penn State, where he and Angela lived together in an off-campus apartment with questionable carpeting and a perpetually leaky bathroom faucet. Thanks to the kind influence of Mr. Katimski, he realized the importance of empathetic teachers in the often-brutal high school setting, so he majored in education. After graduation, he got the heck out of Pennsylvania and is now a high school social studies teacher in the New York public school system. He’s beloved by the students, although his focus on social justice issues in the classroom makes the administration nervous. He’s married to the high school’s track coach.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Normal\" style=\"color: #000000\">\u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\" style=\"font-weight: bold;color: #222222\">\u003cimg class=\"alignright wp-image-13251\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/08/Rayanne-232x300.jpg\" alt=\"Rayanne\" width=\"200\" height=\"258\">Rayanne Graff\u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\" style=\"color: #222222\"> graduated from high school, then moved to L.A. and became a party scene staple. After a few blurry years, she realized that she needed stability and a regular paycheck, so she charmed her way into a temp receptionist position at an indie rock radio station. Her perseverance and enthusiasm landed her an on-air gig when one of the DJs called in sick. She didn’t freeze that time, and she’s been hosting her own late-night show ever since. She drinks less now, and she lives with a guitarist 10 years her junior. They fight a lot, but they make up a lot, too. Rayanne’s fashion sense hasn’t changed a bit in 20 years. She, Rickie and Angela try to get together once a year, although it’s gotten harder as they’ve all gotten older.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Normal\" style=\"color: #000000\">\u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\" style=\"font-weight: bold;color: #222222\">\u003cimg class=\"alignleft wp-image-13252\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/08/Sharon.jpg\" alt=\"Sharon\" width=\"200\" height=\"248\">Sharon Cherski\u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\" style=\"color: #222222\"> studied public relations at Rutgers and moved back to Philadelphia to take a job with Penn Medicine’s PR department. She’s now the public information officer there and manages a staff of 20 people. She divorced her high school sweetheart Kyle after 12 years of marriage and shares custody of their two children, a boy and a girl (naturally). She and Angela get together for drinks when Angela’s back in town to visit her parents.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Normal\" style=\"color: #000000\">\u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\" style=\"font-weight: bold;color: #222222\">\u003cimg class=\"alignright wp-image-13253 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/08/Brian-241x300.jpg\" alt=\"Brian\" width=\"241\" height=\"300\">Brian Krakow\u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\" style=\"color: #222222\"> attended Stanford and earned a Ph.D. in biochemistry. He moved back home and is now the lead clinical researcher specializing in endocrine disorders at Penn Medicine. He and Sharon don’t cross paths very often at work, but when they do, he’s as exasperating as ever. His wife is a sweet and patient woman, whom he loves very much, although he still feels a tinge of irritated fondness when he thinks about Angela. (Which isn’t terribly often, and definitely no more than the normal amount for a childhood neighbor. Once in a while is OK, right?) He spends an hour every weekend tweaking his novel about a bittersweet teenage romance. He's been working on it for 18 years.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Normal\" style=\"color: #000000\">\u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\" style=\"font-weight: bold;color: #222222\">\u003cimg class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-13254\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/08/Jordan.jpg\" alt=\"Jordan\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\">Jordan Catalano\u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\" style=\"color: #222222\"> and Angela continued their on again/off again dance throughout high school, but once she left for college, their contact fell off, particularly when Angela began to meet men who shared her interest in things such as two-way conversations. Jordan rejoined the Frozen Embryos, although the band didn’t do much more than play a few open mic nights at Club Vertigo before breaking up for good. Because he hung around the bar so much, the manager eventually pressed him into service as a bartender and occasional bouncer. He’s still working there, and he’s still handsome, if a little soft around the edges. His dreamily taciturn style is popular with certain female Vertigo-goers. He’s got a 10-year-old daughter he sees every other weekend. When Angela bumped into him last year on a visit home, she briefly wondered whether things would’ve been different for him if he’d gone with her to watch \u003cem>The Bicycle Thief\u003c/em>.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Normal\" style=\"color: #000000\">\u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\" style=\"font-weight: bold;color: #222222\">\u003cimg class=\"alignright wp-image-13255 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/08/Danielle.jpg\" alt=\"Danielle\" width=\"243\" height=\"262\">Danielle Chase\u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\" style=\"color: #222222\"> is the youngest state senator ever to be elected to the Pennsylvania General Assembly. (Who knew, right?)

He was a pioneer of the farm-to-table movement and, over the years, has developed a bit of a reputation as a bad boy chef. This success did far more to repair his relationship with Patty than any amount of marriage counseling; turns out, he just needed the ego boost to be more content with his home life. Once it became clear to Hallie Lowenthal that Graham wouldn’t ever act on their flirtation, she ditched him for greener fields. Despite his personal and professional success, Graham is still occasionally bewildered by his two daughters.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Normal\" style=\"color: #000000\">\u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\" style=\"font-weight: bold;color: #222222\">\u003cimg class=\"alignright wp-image-13258 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/08/Patty-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Patty\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\">Patty\u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\" style=\"color: #222222\"> \u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\" style=\"font-weight: bold\">Chase\u003c/span> sold the family business, Wood & Jones, when it became clear how tough it would be for a small business to compete with online vendors (and when it became equally clear that neither daughter wanted to join her in running the business). She now manages the financial side of Graham’s restaurants. The two have a strong marriage today. Angela calls to chat with her mother a couple of times a week because she (like many viewers who re-watched the show two decades later) came to realize that Patty wasn’t the bad guy and was instead just doing her best to make sure her daughter made it through the adolescent hellscape that was high school with her heart and self-esteem intact.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Normal\" style=\"color: #000000\">\u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\" style=\"font-weight: bold;color: #222222\">Tino\u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"Normal__Char\" style=\"color: #222222\"> is dead.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
