Admittedly this is often how things work out. It reminds me of Rayanne saying that people throwing themselves at other people is the basis of civilization. I've been on both sides of that situation and I agree with candygirl's reminder thatsirhansirhan wrote:The fact that Delia liked Brian was enough for her to get her foot in the door, and, if the circumstances would have been a little better, I think that Brian would have realized that he is much better suited to someone like Delia (as opposed to Angela), and that he is much better suited to her in turn.
I'm not entirely sure why I'm so opposed to the pairing of Delia and Brian. It's not because I think he was too much of a jerk for them to ever work things out, people have certainly overcome worse. I think it's because Delia seems too simple, just good and cheerful and she probably is from one of those towns where everyone smiles at everyone for no reason, not that there is anything wrong with that I just don't see Brian being contented with someone so chipper and seemingly one dimensional (regardless of how quickly she picks up dance steps, though it is a glimmer of hope in the blandness that is Delia). Maybe I'm Just over relating to Brian as sirhansirhan pointed out many of us are likely to do and imposing my own dissatisfaction with Delia onto the fictional character (brian). I always liked the idea of Brian and Rayanne getting together down the line. They had an exciting chemistry and the rebel tramp with the wishes-he were-a-rebel geek is a fun pairing.candygirl wrote:As the saying goes, it's hard to resist someone who finds you irresistible!
You know, I have never given that thought much attention, but now that you bring it up, it is not only amusing, but almost logical. Of course it wouldn't really be realistic for this to happen during the period of the characters' lives that MSCL encompasses, but, hypothetically speaking, if the show lasted until their late college years, it could have worked. Or even better, what if Brian and Rayanne had sex, and Jordan videotaped it? How would Angela respond to that?grim4746 wrote:I always liked the idea of Brian and Rayanne getting together down the line.

Yes,I must say I am inclined to entertain that idea now that you mentioned it.sirhansirhan wrote:You know, I have never given that thought much attention, but now that you bring it up, it is not only amusing, but almost logical.

I think that if the show had gone on much longer than it did, a lot more of the main characters would have wound up having sex with one another. It's funny to think about, but I'm glad that the show never devolved into that.

Couples in MSCL highschool senior year:
Rayanne and Brian( I agree with that one)
Patty and Kyle
Angela and Corey
Hallie and Neil
Graham and Mrs.Lerner
Sharon and Tino
and............................Jordan and Rickie
Hey,what happened in the book?I haven't read it and I really want to know(altough everyone says that it sucks).Did Angela finally dump Jordan?grim4746 wrote:Deleted item wrote:Yes,I must say I am inclined to entertain that idea now that you mentioned it.

WIth the pairings you've suggested I'm left wondering if you are really author, Catherine Clark . Although I can almost see Hallie and Neil. She sort of reminds me of Sheryl Fleck. I bet Ms. Lerner is a sex kitten, maybe her and Tino would have hooked up by Angela's senior year.
I don't know, I think that Jordan wanted sex from Angela because he just wanted sex in general, and since Angela was obviously infatuated with him (and his girlfriend, at various times in the show) he figured that he could get it from her. I'm not sure that he wanted it because he knew he couldn't have it. Well, come to think of it, maybe that was the case in the later episodes, like the time when Brian is tutoring Jordan and Angela asks Jordan if there's anything that she can do to help and he suggests she have sex with him (the bit that is quoted in Candygirl's signature). But at first, anyway, I think Jordan thought that Angela would have sex with him, and that's why he went after it.chaseface888 wrote:I think part of the reason Jordan is attracted to Angela because she is different from other girls he has met, and he wants sex from her precisely because he can't get it from her, and everyone wants what they can't have. The same sort of element of mystery Angela has about Jordan, Jordan has about Angela.
"Everyone wants what they can't have"?
