The Fab Four

S1 Hyde’s style >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[anyone else prefer when he wore more dress shirts, vests, and especially that necklace?]

Of the seven seasons, I actually think S4 is the worst/weakest one.

Lines I Love (2/?)

STEVEN BAMF HYDE ACKNOWLEDGES HIS FEELINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the moment of the entire series for this character. As everyone knows, before and after this, he doesn’t like to talk about his feelings. Hell, he doesn’t like to admit he even has feelings. He denied it whenever Eric confronted him about doing nice things for him as a best friend/brother. After S5, he rarely, if ever, used the word “love” for Jackie - only admitting once to Leo because he has a short attention span.

What I also love about this is that it confirms what fans already knew. What he feels for Jackie is unlike anything he’s ever felt. It’s the first time he’s ever been in love with someone. Not Donna. Not the biker chick. Not Kat Peterson. Not Melissa. Jackie, the girl he once referred to as a “bitchy anchor” around Kelso’s neck. Previously, Hyde resented Jackie and the hold she had on Kelso, who was one of his best friends. He wanted her gone from Kelso’s life and by extension, the rest of the friend group. Seasons 1-4 saw the dynamics of the group change. What initially started out as a mutual distaste between Hyde and Jackie slowly developed first to a begrunging tolerance then to a significant infatuation then to a tepid friendship and finally, falling in love. At this minute, he explicitly informs Kelso of his priorities. If given a choice between him and Jackie, it’s Jackie. She means more to him than their friendship. She means more to him than anything. And as soon as she gave him a glimmer of hope of a reconciliation, he realized nothing else matters.
