That 90s Show: 2x03 - The Kelso Siblings

T9S Spoilers

Nate and Jay constantly call each other bro. They've been best friends for many years, yet Nate never met -- let alone heard or seen pictures of -- Jay's sister?

🤦

Betsy is three years older than Jay.

She's giving me less-malicious-Laurie vibes.

(Yeah, I'm watching Part 3 and live blogging a little. I have positive comments, too. But my insta!reactions right now are from the author and T7S fan in me. 🙈)

why did they make betsy’s personality in t90s basically the exact same as laurie’s in t70s?

[clownrosary]

going to ramble a little abt my thoughts on betsy kelso (finally!) being introduced in pt 3 :P cause i have many thoughts, and i need to get them out!

overall i do have to say im pretty excited- i always found it kinda strange that kelso + brooke was a pretty big storyline in t70s, but betsy wasn't mentioned at all in earlier apisodes of t90s. i do think it'll be rly cool to see the kelso siblings interact though, and i've rly been hoping she would come along!

i have seen a few ppl saying that it's weird that jay like... hasn't mentioned having a sister at all until now, and while i agree that it is strange, i do think the writers will find a way around that. half-sibling relationships can be complicated (i would know), and there's no one correct way to have a relationship with your siblings. especially when keeping in mind that betsy + jay share a dad (not just any dad, but kelso), and not a mom.

there's a stereotype that half-siblings that share a mom tend to be closer than half-siblings that share a dad. while i definitely dont think this is always true, i do believe the writers will probably end up using this to their advantage; i could see nate + gwen (who share a mom, and are definitely pretty close) being seen as the opposites of betsy + jay.

not only that, but betsy probably grew up in chicago! it's safe to assume that the kelsos grew up hours apart, and naturally wouldn't be as close as siblings who grew up in the same home. honestly, i think there'd be more of a chance of leia + betsy being close, seeing as how donna and brooke were friends before brooke had even met kelso. i could totally see them as having been childhood friends :)

but at the end of the day, t70s has never been known for having superb, accurate timelines, and that's okay! to see t90s following in those wonky footsteps isn't a bad thing- at the end of the day, it's just a sitcom. and i'm excited to see how this all plays out!!

Jay: A mosquito tried to bite me and I slapped it and killed it.

Jay: And I started thinking.

Jay: Like, it was just trying to get food.

Jay: What if I went to the fridge and it just slammed the door shut and snapped my neck?

Betsy: Are you ok?

It be nice if That 90s Show brought back Jay's older half sister Betsy

Since she was born in 1979 and season 1 takes place in 1995, she would have been 16 years old

If Betsy does make an appearance, how do you think the show will explain it?

With the AU future of T7S that is T9S, its selective and extensive changes to T7S canon to make a new canon for T9S, it's difficult to guess.

I would like, however, for Betsy to be in an episode where Jay needs some older-sister advice.

What I think might happen is a mention of Betsy to establish her existence and further go AU on T7S canon to create more T9S canon.

We'll find out when T9S season 2 drops. 😄

I know it’s been talked about to death, but I want to give my two cents of what could make T9S better

With Red getting older and with Kitty being unable to take care of him and the house on her own, they move in with Donna and Eric.

Leia, Jay, and Betsy have known each other all their lives, and attend the same school.

The summer of going into the first grade, Nate and Gwen become friends with Jay/Leia after Sherri moves next door.

Ozzie becomes a part of the group in grade five. And Nikki enters the picture when she dates Nate.

Jackie and Kelso don’t go through two divorces.

Donna, Eric, Jackie, Kelso, and Brooke wouldn’t just be guest stars.

Leia has a younger sibling

No circle. Sorry, it’s awkward and unoriginal.
