I never understood Slater and Jessie. Ever. Except as a way to smooth Zack's path to Kellie, and even then. ::head-desk::
Didn't the junior high spinoff books of the Against Taffy Sinclair Club do a similar plot, where the pre-teen proto-feminist developed an inexplicable crush on an uber-macho jerk of a boy? Even throwing them together by making her defend him in front of the Student Court for wearing a ::gasp:: earring in defiance of the school dress code?
So, Saved By The Bell stealing from Against Taffy Sinclair, or ATS stealing from SBTB? Or just a really awful and head-desk injury inducing trope that was popular at the time?
