Wow, a lot actually happened in this episode.  But am I the only one who thinks it’s a little weird that so many things were wrapped up in such a neat little bow?  Hmmm.

Adriana has been MIA (aka. on a drug binge) so she doesn’t know anything about Silver’s mom’s death or Navid’s accident.  When she finally gets a clue, she vows to never do drugs again.  Ok, we’ll see how long that one lasts.   (more…)

Season 2, Episode 10

Jasper goes to dinner at the Wilsons’.  Thanks to Dixon’s announcement that Jasper is a suspected drug dealer, and despite Jasper’s best efforts to charm the pants off Annie’s parents, Debbie and Harry don’t like Jasper and they tell Annie to stop seeing him.  If they knew anything at all about teenagers, they would know that forbidding her to see her boyfriend will only make her want to be with him more, but it’s become quite evident this season that Debbie and Harry don’t really have a clue how to be parents of two teens. (more…)

Season 2, Episode 9

Original airdate:  11/10/09

Dixon is miserable because Sasha doesn’t want to see him.  Which is weird, because he was the one who wanted to break up with her in the first place.  He should be glad that he’s rid of her.  Anyway, after a while, he decides to go see her and that’s when Debbie finally tells him the truth—Sasha was never pregnant.  (more…)

Season 2, Episode 8:  “Women’s Intuition”

Original airdate:  11/3/09

So what’s been going on in the zip code since the last episode aired two weeks ago?  Well, apparently the women of Bev Hills have acquired some intuition… or at least that’s what the title of the episode tells us. 

So Rumer Willis is back this week and she has one whole line!  At least they gave her an important line—Rumer tells Navid that Jasper’s a drug dealer.  Navid passes on this information to Annie, who then questions Jasper, who in turn throws a tray of hot dogs into the garbage and storms away.  Annie believes Jasper (doesn’t seem like such great women’s intuition to me…) so she meets him at the Hollywood sign. (more…)

Season 2, Episode 7

Oh hey guess what!  90210 hired yet another completely terrible actor!  We are introduced this week to Ivy (Gillian Zinser), a really great female surfer who gets into a fight with Liam.  They hate each other at first, but after a surf battle, they like each other.  Of course.  But seriously, this woman cannot act. She’s even worse than Sasha, and I never would have thought that possible.  (more…)

Season 2, Episode 6

Original airdate:  10/13/09

Annie and Jasper are getting along swimmingly.  He’s clearly smitten by her, and she is starting to like him, too, until Mark tells Annie that Jasper pulled a knife on someone.  (Speaking of Mark, what’s up with the scene where Mark and his football buddies are all dirty?  Like, they’re hanging out in the parking lot, talking about Annie, and they’ve got dirt all over their faces.  There’re no showers in the West Bev locker rooms?  I don’t get it.)  (more…)

Season 2, Episode 5

Jeez, so much going on this episode.

Post-coital Navid is hilarious.  I’m half-expecting The Carpenters’ “Top of the World” to be playing as Navid glides around on his de-virginized wave.  Too bad his girlfriend is in love with someone else.  Adriana just can’t seem to get that kiss with Teddy out of her mind, no matter how hard she tries.  We see Adriana and Navid in bed, having just finished up doing the deed (she still has her bra on, which is weird), and Navid mentions how life could only be better if Adriana had a mini-fridge next to her bed.  (more…)

Season 2, Episode 4

Dixon still hasn’t fessed up to Sasha that he’s still in high school, but that doesn’t stop him from spending the night with her in Napa and charging everything (the hotel, the massages…) onto Navid’s credit card.  Finally he tries to tell Sasha the truth but winds up telling her he’s in the porn business.  How that’s better than the truth… I don’t know.  Sasha wonders what else Dixon’s been lying to her about, so she drives by his house and sees him pull up in a much less fancy car than the Lamborghini he’s been driving her around in and then she sees him give his mom a hug and she instantly jumps to the conclusion that that’s Dixon’s wife or girlfriend.  This storyline is ridiculous. (more…)

Season 2, Episode 3

Horray, Kelly (Jennie Garth) is back!  Harry (Rob Estes) goes to her for advice on dealing with his daughter and Kelly tells him that she pretty much started the whole girls gone wild craze back when she was in high school.  Yay for a reference to the Kelly Taylor of old, the Kelly Taylor that we all know and love.  But I’m getting ahead of mysef. (more…)

Season 2, Episode 2

The episode begins with a club fair at West Bev.  The AV club, the school newspaper The Blaze, and even the Kabbalah club (Isn’t it a violation of the whole separation of church and state thing to have religion clubs at a public school?  Me thinks it should be.) are recruiting new members.  Navid (Michael Steger) is in charge of The Blaze (Shoutout to Brandon and Andrea!!  Hollaaa!!) and Rumer Willis shows up at their first meeting.  (more…)

Season 2, Episode 1

Last season on “90210,” Adriana got knocked up by Ty and then got engaged to Navid and then gave her baby up for adoption.  Silver went crazy and secretly taped her and Dixon having sex and then showed it to the entire school and then broke into her teacher’s house and threw a bottle at him, and then made up with Dixon only to make out with Ethan, but apparently it’s all ok because she’s bi-polar.  (more…)

Let me begin by stating upfront that the only reason I started watching this show in the first place is because I grew up on the original “Beverly Hills, 90210” (third through twelfth grade, baby!) and it’s such a part of me now that sometimes I forget that Dylan McKay was not actually my high school boyfriend, that I didn’t have a fling with Dean Cain in France, and that it was Donna Martin, not me, who got drunk at the prom and almost didn’t graduate.  (more…)
