I can't stop laughing about this week's season finale of 90210. It is so ridiculously all over the place, I can't help but love it a little. It might even be my favorite episode of the entire first season because it has everything: stoned parents, random crushes revealed, psycho older sisters, babies, sex, Brenda Walsh, a Chinese parade dragon, Annie's emotional meltdown, and more! Though it may Read more

This week's episode of 90210 is all about the sophomore prom. Not as exciting as senior prom, but still: people dress up, kings and queens are named, and the school turns on Annie. So, all in all, good stuff. We also get to the heart of Liam's obnoxious attitude, and it's so not compelling. A crappy step-dad? They could have done better than that. One thing the writers do get right this week is Read more

On this week's episode of 90210, the whole group responds to Navid and Adrianna's wedding plans by throwing them parties. We already caught a glimpse of the wedding/baby shower, where everyone looks all happy and sweet — but lots of drama was to come. Like pill popping! And drunkenness! We also learn more about Liam, who is potentially caught up in illegal activities (and yet still lectures Read more

This week's episode of 90210 is actually pretty engaging. Or maybe I'm just feeling better about things because Annie and Ethan are still broken up and there wasn't as much Liam this time around. Seriously, I'm not sure why we're supposed to believe someone as fun, cool, and sassy as Naomi would throw herself at a lame-o like that. Even Annie tries to warn Naomi to stay away, and she's not the Read more

This week's episode of 90210 is all about BFFs. Donna is making herself at home in Beverly Hills and is basically leaving David because she's over Japan and misses Kelly. The two women get back into the swing of their friendship and even hit up a lesbian bar together! (Accidentally.) Meanwhile, Annie wants to be a "girl's girl" (whatever that means) and is very serious about being a good friend Read more

Well, 90210 continues to click along and improve ever so slightly. It's not as laughably bad these days, but it's also not the best thing ever. On this week's episode, the kids are let loose on Spring break. Dixon and Annie take a road trip together, Ethan and Naomi help Mr. Matthews build houses for Habitat for Humanity, and Silver is stuck at home under the watchful eye of Kelly. Oh, and Read more

Hey, you know what? 90210 is definitely improving! Ever since Silver's emotional meltdown last week, I've been hopeful this show would keep up the momentum. I can forgive plots that don't make sense and illogical character motivations (Gossip Girl is often guilty of this), but I can't forgive irritating main characters or boring stories, and I feel like the writers are starting to understand that Read more

So, who tuned in to this week's return episode of 90210? Those of us sticking with this show have been promised improvements, so I'll be curious to hear your verdict. Are you starting to see signs that things are picking up? The wardrobe looks a little better, and the overall production quality seems more modern, so that's good. But what about the plot? Well, the bad news is a lot of the Read more

Hello, 90210 fans! This week's episode has more of what I like: over-the-top melodrama. I think that's the right direction for the show — it's slightly less earnest and a little more, I don't know, ridiculous (in a good way). We've got sad, potentially psycho stalker Rhonda; sad, potentially mentally unstable Silver; and sad, insecure-when-it-comes-to-acting Annie. Good stuff, right? Also, Read more
