90210: Discussion Thread

[anita30]

I am just going to say the one thing I loved about the old 90210 was the friendship that lasted between everyone. I dont see why it cant be way with this group. I dont know I kinda miss that.

I cant wait until Naomi wakes up and realizes that it was her sister that slept with Liam and not Annie. She is going to feel stupid. I just cant get into her character. She is the vixen and I dont understand her. At least with Valerie I under stood her but this chick I do not. Her voice irrates me.

I actually like the storyline of Annie because she is cracking and acting crazy and no one realizes it.

Dont like the new guy. He looks to old to be in high school. Dont already care about him.

I am really going to like Dixon on his own and growing. It will be interesting to see what ha

[Cheyenne]

Dixon still irritates the h*ll out of me. He's assuming things and well, he's just annoying!!! I'm hoping Silver will find a new love interest, I never really got those two together.

Well, it wasn't like that all the time (certainly not in the beginning). And it wasn't between everyone actually. Val had very few friends...

I'm not too keen on Naomi either. I think Anna Lynne is over acting just a bit. And what's the thing with her upper lip?

I can do without Annie. I'm really over her. Actually I was over her in the first episode... last season.

Trevor Donovan was REALLY annoying on DAYS. So far he's ok. Looks like he's improved a bit on his acting skills.

lol You would think from all my negative comments that there's nothing I like about 90210. Well, that's not true. I love this show in some weird way.

Oh, and Adrianna, how I missed you!

[JackPeyton]

everyone on the old 90210 was not friends. They were all friends with someone, yes, but not all of them were friends. ever.

i really am happy to see im not the only one with Dixon hate.

[Toups]

Yeah, the new 90210 isn't as good as the old 90210 when it comes to friendships.

Naomi is my least favorite character, I don't understand her at all either. She sucks as the vixen, and it also doesn't help that AnnaLynne McCord isn't sexy and is a pretty bad actress.

Same here. Dixon/Silver are ruined for me. Last season, I complained that they broke up, made up, broke, made up, too many times.....so what happens in the first episode.....they make up....then break up. WTF!!!! They had something with Silver/Ethan but they fire Dustin Milligan. Bad decision.

AnnaLynn over acting? Noooooo. LOL Have you seen her on Nip/Tuck? Over acting is her style. She's better in lower key scenes, like in the scenes with Liam at the prom.

Yeah he's not as bad here. Maybe because he has more time to prepare?

I was happy to see Jessica Lowndes again - that girl is gorgeous! I hope this Navid being a virgin angle not going to be played out for long and he better lose his virginity to Adrianna or else season 1 will be all for nothing.

Oh and what was up with the last shot of the 3 girls walking in slow motion.....we had like 3 scenes of that! Come on!

Well, this episode didn't give my any faith on the new writing regime. I hope the show improves.

[JackPeyton]

i think ALM's style works so well for Naomi. Naomi is OTT, as she should be. But she pulls it in and plays subtle when it comes to being hurt and opening herself to someone.

[Huntress]

I guess I'm the minority here, but Naomi's my favourite character, followed by Adrianna. The others I don't really care about.

Silver used to be a great character in season 1 - when she was portrayed as being the outsider - but she was ruined once she sucked up to Naomi at Valentine's Day. Before that she stated that she would never talk to Naomi again. Yeah, right. Now she's BFF with Naomi and doesn't give a damn about Annie - who was supposed to be her best friend. Silver should have been the one to reach out to Annie since she knows how it feels to be an outsider. Besides, Annie didn't do anything to Silver. Silver shouldn't play the holier-than-thou-card because she cheated on Dixon with Ethan while Annie didn't do anything with Liam.

I don't care about the guys on this show at all. They are all dull, not sexy and a bit effeminate.

BTW, if they want to save money, they should get rid off Rob Estes and Lori Loughlin. They don't serve any purpose at all.

[Cheyenne]

Yes, the firing of Dustin Milligan was a huge mistake!! Ethan and Silver had real potential. Makes me mad even thinking about it!

Indeed she is!

[detroitpiston]

I'm loving what Sinclair's done with the show! The new look is great, I like that they're going on location more often instead of doing everything on a sound stage and slapping an orange tint on it. And thank God they remodeled the West Beverly High set, the way it looked last season was not at all like the one from the original show. They need to go back to using Torrence High for exteriors though.

Lovin the trio of Naomi, Ade, and Silver!

The gang dancing to the Freakalater or whatever that s.hits called was hilarious lol.

Diggin the new darker Annie. I hate that everyones treating her like trash though. And that Mark guy was really annoying, I hope he only took pics and that she didn't sleep with him.

Felt bad for Silver when Dixon dumped her, but that's what she gets for still talking to that loser robot Ethan and for not telling D about the kiss.

Teddy didn't annoy me as much as I thought he would. Dude still looks way too old to be in high school though. I knew he was the one who pulled up behind Annie!

And poor Navid, looks like he's gonna be a virgin for life lol.

[CassieFan]

I hated the premiere. Too much I Moan and too much AnneLynne's bad acting.

I actually felt sorry for Annie, don't know why.

Silver/Dixon drama is boring and Dixon is acting all "holier than thou" that I can't stand it.

Teddy is supposed to be, what, 17? In which universe?

The one thing I loved was Adrianna and Jessica Lowndes. She is the real star of the show and the best actress IMO.

[JackPeyton]

from what i understand Teddy isnt 17, he was older than A when they were together and Dixon tries getting a job working for him.

[CassieFan]

Yup, but he still goes to high school.

Episode 2 was OK. Probably hell is freezing over right now, but I feel sorry for Annie.

Storyline-wise, this show is firing on all cylinders. It's classic angsty teen soap opera and I'm enjoying the way they have added Naomi's sister to the mix and focused less on the saccharine antics of the Wilson family and more on some adult drama played out by teens. Adrianna is clearly the star now (I wonder if AnnaLynn and Shenae are happy about this considering they were the original stars and this girl who started out as a recurring bit part has ended up the central character after less than a year?) and I think this more grown up tone is really working. I liked seeing scenes of Liam at home, I liked Navid's jealousy of Teddy, I liked the fact they've not totally ignored last season completely and I like that they are taking Annie in a different direction. Jen is my favourite character and I look forward to this story with Ryan heating up.

However, while I understand they've revamped production, it's so unrealistic to have every single character living in a totally different house and the school looking entirely different both inside and out without so much as a mention of it. I understand they referenced the Wilsons moving into a new home, but the house Naomi and Jen are living in now is totally different from the one from last season, and both the interior and the exterior of the school has changed, I'm sure it looks like the school from Clueless now as opposed to the school used in the original 90210 (and Buffy) which is a shame as that was a nice link to history. I don't like the new credits either.

Overall though I think 90210 is managing to avoid that sophomore slump that Gossip Girl fell into and is struggling to claw its way out of, and it definitely looks a lot more expensive to produce than GG (or it's own first season, for that matter), which shows the CW is invested in it. I'm definitely impressed by it this season.

Does anyone know if Jennie Garth will be back this season? I liked where they were going with Harry and Kelly towards the end of last season.

[JackPeyton]

^I agree, but im tots willing to overlook that all the sets have changed, because they look better now IMHO and the show is just working like never before, besides to have ever char mention they moved over the summer and the school got a makeover would be a bit much. lol.

rock bottom annie is love. this is soooooo Darcy after her rape on Degrassi. LOVE it!

And i love Silver. I really do. Her angry att he world bit last season/im crazy story was ok, but i wanted more. I love what they have done with her.

and the guys this season are awesome. so are the girls. the group is forming. cant wait for people to turn on eachother.

jen needs to go, the actress is awful. but that scene with ryan was hot.

[Cheap21]

Navid is an azz. The way he is acting, he's going to push Adriana straight into that new guys's arms. I bet she sleeps with him again before she does with Navid.

Speaking of Adriana, once again I have to say Im in love with her hair. She is really rocking it

Exactly how did Annie kill that guy? Did she run him off the road or did she actually hit him? If so wouldnt her car have damage and wouldnt Dixon and her parents ask questions?

[JackPeyton]

im assuming - from the fact that he was homeless and the way it looked in the scene - that we was sleeping there right off the road under that tree and she ran him over. so if she ran him over, no she wouldnt have damage to her SUV because she didnt hit anything with the body of the car.

i also love that teddy found him...
