So this is it! Donna Martin returns! It was actually pretty boring, so don't get too excited. After two fairly good episodes, 90210 has returned to mediocre-ness that has made it famous. Basically we had a few balls in the air here, Kelly/Silver/Donna, Annie/Dixon, Habitat for Humanity and a little bit of Harry/Debbie (AKA the parents that no one cares about. Are they even trying with these two?) None of the storylines were completely awful, but none were what I'd really call stellar either. (By the way, had anyone noticed that 90210 is sponsored by Dr. Pepper? No?! It's because they are really subtle about it.)
So what was good? Let's see.
Annie/Dixon were pretty cute. The woman who played Dixon's birth mom was really good, and she made me forget how much I hate Annie for an entire scene. I remembered again though when she kept telling Dixon that she was his "Mango". Something about that just creeped me out.
Matthews looked hot in his Habitat for Humanity tee shirt. What?! That was a good part! Also the cast actually built a house for Habitat for Humanity, which is pretty cool, even a cynical gal like me can admit.
Naomi and Liam have some pretty good chemistry together. I would say they are the hottest couple on the show right now. (Cutest = Navid and Adrianna. No contest.)
Diablo Cody wasn't horrible? I guess? She was kind of cute, so I'll put it in the good column.
Ethan and Liam were pretty alright together. Why is Ethan getting so unlame now that I know he is leaving? Why show? Why?
Another way they tried to make me kind of like Annie was by making her love water parks. I too love water parks, and I have to say I would be completely heartbroken if someone told me that we were going to one of the best in the country and really we were going to spy on/briefly speak to his birth mother. I mean , I would do it, but deep down inside it would hurt me. So I related to Annie there, for a minute.
Naomi's CRAZY walk away from Ethan after he told her he thought Liam was a douche. If you have it recorded, watch this scene again. It is worth it.
Things that were not so good:
No Navid and Adrianna!
OH MY GOD Kelly is such a drag. It is as if Silver is being sentenced to death by monotony. Thanks 90210 for reminding me why I used to hate Kelly so so much. Even after all the mushy stuff I feel like Kelly could drive Silver to suicide still. And me as well.
Tabitha the grandmother was mentioned, reminding me how awesome she was, and how mad I am that she is not on the show anymore.
The fact that Donna had to refer to Silver as her half sister-in-law. Is the half really necessary? Just say sister-in-law!
More Donna: She and David are separated, they gave her a baby just to hide it away in a closet for most of the episode, and she is still LAME AS EVER. Donna Martin had some good classic episodes that were built around her, but the actual character is just the lamest person ever. Ever.
The fact that Harry and Deb were even in this episode at all. Not funny, just boring.
The Liam and Ethan story pretty much added up to "Drugs are bad kids!" Bold position to take 90210. Bold.
Donna and David are separated? I know I mentioned this before, but first Kelly has a kid with Dylan and now this?! Is NOTHING from Beverly Hills, 90210 sacred to these people?!
Next week: Naomi hates Annie again! Yay! Me too Naomi!

My thoughts on the show:
1) Very unrealistic how they are trying to play off that Annie doesn't have an eating disorder by having her drink the full-calorie Dr. Pepper rather than the diet. I mean, who hasn't read in the Enquirer lately to see that all she does is smoke cigarettes and not eat? (Ok, probably most people-I just happen to get the issues from my neighbors down the street.) Maybe an interesting storyline for Annie would be how to recover from an eating disorder.
2) "Two, Four, Six, Eight-Donna Martin Graduates" SHOULD have been brought up at some point in the Donna-Kelly storyline. Maybe Donna could have related to Silver a little better by bringing up the fact that she has had a successful life after almost not graduating from high school.
3) Donna and Kelly have got to be the worst mothers ever. Where on earth are their children? They must leash them up in the back yard for 3/4 of the day.
4) Why didn't they show Adrianna and Navid in this show? Lame.
