Every week, the good folks at 90210 manage to lower the bar in terms of quality and this week’s episode was just more of the same. Annie and Ethan are Southern California’s dorkiest couple, Silver is treating Dixon like Kelly treated Valerie, and Lucille Bluth is off to a better place…the East Coast where she’s filming some hideous Revolutionary War drama that will most likely sweep the Golden Globes.
Of course Adriana is still pregnant. She has to be; how else is Brenda going to magically end up with a child in the season finale? Why do I imagine that sometime in the near future Donna Martin Silver will be counseling her on the joys of childbirth? Why can I also see Kelly throwing her a baby shower where all of the gifts come from Petit Tresor? As everyone thinks she’s back on the drugs, Adriana comes clean to Naomi and Navid about the real reason she’s acting so out of it. To her credit, Naomi acts like a concerned friend and looks about ten years younger with her blown out. Navid acts like a typical 16 year old guy and breaks up with her. I’m not knocking him, how many teenage guys are going to want to take a girl to Prom who’s pregnant (it doesn’t even matter whose kid it is)? I mean, Ryan Atwood comes to mind, but much like Andrea Zuckerman, I don’t think he was ever really a teenager.
As Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty were not in this episode, we had to deal with the adult storyline of Lady Mossimo and Silk Stalkings fighting for control of house and parenting sills with Lucille Bluth. Hilarity ensues…or not at all. Lady Mossimo just killed me because she’s all up in Lucille’s grill even though she’s living rent free in her house! By the way, didn’t Lady Mossimo have some hot photography job once upon a time? She needs to get out of the house and into the studio or at least take up some trendy cause. I swear, I think she must have less friends in Beverly Hills than Season 1 Cindy Walsh.
I am so thrilled to be freed of this show. Never though American Idol would actually be my saving grace but there you have it. Thankfully I have you to chronicle all the joy that I am missing.
I’m glad they didn’t have Adriana lose the kid already, previews had made me guess that she did. I did see a minute of Mom’s war with Lucille Bluth and just rolled my eyes and flipped away. Yippie.
I honestly felt sick the whole time I was watching this episode. I literally cannot stand watching this show if they don’t even have Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty to keep my eyes from glazing over. What is the point? Annie and Ethan are disgusting. Dixon and Silver have zero chemistry. And Lady Mossimo (who will always be Aunt Becky to me) has nothing to work with. That crap with Lucille Bluth was boring as hell and I just wanted to throw stuff at the TV when Annie and Ethan caught Lady Mossimo and Silk Stalkings getting it on in the van. It’s just so predictable.
