Talk:Kelly Taylor/@comment-32883528-20170817204515

I'm just now getting through the series, almost done with season 5, and she annoys me so much I don't know if I can get through the rest. Self-centered, hypocritical yet also sanctimonious, controlling, jealous, petty, emotionally manipulative... and whines and whines until everyone caters to her. Currently in what I'm watching, Ray is the bad guy for cheating on Donna (he is a dick, fair), but Kelly is coddled and hugged and offered support for her little crisis (i.e. cheating on Brandon and stringing along two guys - and lying to Brandon about it initially). I hate how the writers clearly try to make her a sympathetic character when she's so awful... I just watched them try to show her as this strong figure choosing herself, as if to show it as her own maturation rather than all of the sociopathy leading up to it. Or her sanctimonious rant about how men cheat and it sickens her when she's cheated or been an accomplice to cheating over and over again. She's such a sociopath that she even makes Valerie seem reasonable.

I'm ranting, lolz. Jennie Garth did a great job playing her - to make a character this dislikable means she's also believable, so well done. But I legit don't think I can get through the rest of this show if Kelly, the character, is in it - she annoys me that much. She gets worse each season, ffs.
