Tuesday Night Reaction

90210 (Between a Sign and a Hard Place)

  • This is Tori’s second episode and her last for at least this season.
  • Q1: “Those aren’t bugs; that’s pulp.”–Silver
  • Sammy is pretty cute.  Glad to see Ruby again.
  • Donna looks fantastic.  Like seeing her in the mom role.
  • How long has it been since the last episode?  Are Tori and Ruby still staying in Sammy’s room?
  • Silver seems like she’s hesitant to return to school.
  • Wonder if Harry and Debbie know Dixon sought out his birth mom.
  • It’s probably pretty uncommon to see a yard sale in Beverly Hills.
  • We know Annie and Naomi’s friendship won’t last.
  • Q2: “You’re ready to be a girl’s girl.”  “Bring on the Barbie dolls.”–Debbie and Annie
  • Annie and Naomi’s friendship seems kind of awkward.
  • Bella Cruise name-dropped.  Did viewers pick up on who that is?
  • Annie’s trying to hard.  Naomi isn’t even worth it.
  • OK, I’ll give you this: skipping class to go to the beach is something Dylan would do.
  • Like seeing Navid taking care of Adrianna.
  • Guess Donna’s moving forward with her store.
  • Or sabotaging it?  I’m confused.
  • How long ago did D & D move to Japan?  Dialogue suggests something like 4 years…
  • Q3: “I just miss it here.  I want to come home.”–Donna
  • Q4: “So if I move back here, what does that mean? Divorce?”–Donna
  • Gossip Girl promo
  • Back from the beach already?  Oh, apparently the school day is over.
  • This is an interesting new side of Ethan.
  • The Peach Pit is back!  Where’s Nat?
  • That scene with the mean girls was very GG-esque.
  • Silver not wanting to back to school where everyone will be talking about her reminds when Marissa (on The O.C.) didn’t want to go back after Trey’s shooting.
  • So Dixon and Silver are back together, right?
  • Really don’t need stupid Debbie and Harry scenes.
  • Guess Naomi’s dad will be back now that he has a sex scandal!
  • Funny that Donna is going to a psychic because, according to her book, Tori did too!
  • LOL Man with a sixpack!
  • GG promo
  • I like Naomi’s 80s look.
  • I’ve never been good at foosball.
  • Will Annie spill the beans about Naomi’s father?
  • Why are they so enthusiastic about foosball??
  • LOL Adrianna trying to play adoption matchmaker.
  • Distancing herself from the baby probably won’t work.
  • I like seeing Kelly and Donna chat like old times.
  • Why is Silver in a church?
  • Ah, so Annie isn’t the one who breaks the news.  Naomi’s father is so scummy!
  • Surprised that Kelly (I guess) is letting Silver watch Sammy and Ruby.
  • Accidentally ending up in a “gay place” has been done before on Beverly Hills 90210: in season 4 Steve and Brandon ended up in a gay cafe and in season 5 David and Clare mistakenly invited a lesbian group to a rave.
  • Wish Kelly and Donna had a Peach Pit scene.  With Nat, of course.
  • Guess Liam’s back to giving Naomi the cold shoulder.
  • Yikes!  Naomi knows Annie knew all along.  Annie made a bad choice.  A few bad choices, actually.
  • Kelly wants Donna to move back and leave David?
  • So Naomi IS moving.  But where?
  • Love how Annie just offers her house without even checking with her parents.
  • Annie and Naomi are kind of flirting.  Guess you can argue Donna and Kelly did, too.
  • Adrianna is visibly uncomfortable interviewing these prospective parents.
  • The dog question is pretty fair, IMO.
  • Why are they grunting in foosball?  And who plays to 70?  And why are they acting like little schoolgirls?
  • How is the store opening already?!
  • Donna could be in Japan and have a satellite store in LA.  Not unheard of.
  • Hate that this storyline is really based on the fact that Brian Austin Green couldn’t come on the show and represent David.
  • Surprised Kelly’s not talking to David herself.
  • Donna doesn’t seem too happy.
  • Brave of Silver to come to the opening.
  • But I really don’t understand how the story is ready practically overnight.
  • The flowers from David are a nice gesture.
  • Here’s Kelly’s awkward run-in with Ryan.
  • HA!  A man with a sixpack: Ryan with a sixpack of beer!
  • Why is she willing to try with him again?
  • Not right of Kel to ditch Donna.
  • Guess this is the start of Silver and Ethan’s “whatever”
  • Q5: “Two ex-girlfriends sounds a little claustrophic.”–Ethan
  • Naomi really gave it to Liam!  And then she caved!  Ugh.
  • Really don’t get why Liam goes back and forth.  This doesn’t make him likeable.
  • Silver wants to go to St. Claires.  Guess that explains the church.  How does Kelly not know about this?
  • Understanding her wanting a fresh start.  Again, Marissa-like.
  • Q6: “Think St. Claires has room for me?” “It’s an all-girls school.”  “It sounds better and better.”–Ethan and Silver
  • So there won’t be any “committment” between Ryan and Kelly.  Wonder where this is going…
  • That fish thing just got way too long of a scene.
  • Weird that Adrianna is referring to the baby as “the kid.”
  • Has Navid been wanting to raise the baby all along?
  • Q7: “The only thing that matters is that I’m in love wi th you.  I’ve loved you since I was 7.  And I love your baby, too.”–Navid
  • Q8: “I wanna be with you forever.”  “What are you saying, you want to get married?”  “Yes.”–Navid and Adrianna
  • Did they just get served burgers?  Should be MEGABURGERS!  AND WHERE THE HELL IS NAT?!
  • Can’t believe there wasn’t any follow-up with Dixon’s storyline.  I don’t like that.
  • Promo: all about the soon-to-be Naomi-Liam-Annie triangle.

RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!

Question: 90210 has turned a corner. I’m hooked. Scoop, please. –Tiffany

Ausiello:

Ausiello:
She uncovers the identity of someone connected to GG, but not GG herself.

Question: I need Gossip Girl scoop, preferably about the prom. –Lindsay
Ausiello:
Revenge-seeking Chuck, furious at Blair for attending the big ball with Nate, hatches a plan to make Nelly Yuki prom queen. Meanwhile, Dan and Serena end up going together, but as friends, not lovers.

RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!

Now that Donna has appeared on 90210, is it possible that there will be a reunion with Brenda as well? — Jeff
MICKEY:
Funny you should ask, Jeff. So far the answer is no. But when I asked Tori Spelling the same question this week, she said, “I know the fans would love it,” and not much more. As it stands, Tuesday was Spelling’s last episode this season. Shannen Doherty appears in the May 19 finale. A paranoid person might think their near-miss was intentional. I am a paranoid person.

Site of the Week

20 04 2009

Occasionally I reference or link to SoapNet, so I wanted to explain their Web site more.

SoapNet.com has a wider reach than the channel.  While the site covers the soaps (daytime and teen dramas) that air on the channel, it also includes entertainment and fashion news.  It also has links for a number shows on sister networks such as Lost (ABC) and The Secret Life of the American Teenager (ABCFamily).

The pages for each show include relevant new stories, picture galleries and message boards.

The site has a ton of other nooks and crannies filled with good stuff so take some time out and go explore!

  • Michaela McManus (Lindsay, One Tree Hill) will no longer be on Law & Order: SVU.  Let’s hope that doesn’t mean she’s coming back to OTH!

YouTube Video of the Week

19 04 2009

With all the talk this past week about Donna and David and how it would be TRAGIC to split them up, I realized newer fans might not know why some of us feel this way.

If you haven’t had a chance to get caught up by the DVDs or SoapNet, check out the fan-made video below to see what all the fuss is about!
