90210-Dreams CAN Come True!

There weren't any pictures of Annie (Shenae Grimes, who I'm sure is a lovely person.) covered in someone's drink, so we'll have to start out with the second best image of the night; Brenda (Shannon Doherty) and her dragon.

This show was so filled with crazy plotlines and dream sequences I thought I was watching Twin Peaks or something! They've got a lot of balls in the air here, so let's just do a rundown!

-Parents: Threw a completely dorky after prom party that their own children did not even consider going to, like not even for a second, and ended up stoned at the hospital with poor Kelly (Jenny Garth). Who, by the way, DOES have a crush on Harry, but who DID NOT mention her past as a cocaine-addicted cult member who shot and killed her own rapist. I just don't know why they don't incorporate her character's rich history into this show! Rob Estes and Lori Loughlin were pretty darn funny last night, all loopy on pot brownies.

-Naomi/Liam/Annie/Jen: OH MY GOD Jen is the worst person in the world! And such a fricken ho-bag!!! A bag of hos! I wish Ryan Matthews could see her now! (He's probably chaperoning that nerdy after prom party) Naomi and Liam were so adorable last week, but I kind of dug how they were driven apart by Jen's horrible scheming and not because Liam really liked stupid Annie. (Though he was drawing a picture of her, which is odd...) Also, the payoff of Annie getting a drink thrown on her and then going CRAZY was totally worth it. So what do you guys think she hit when she was drunk/rage driving anyway? A person? A dog? A minotaur perhaps?


-Ethan/Silver/Dixon: While this triangle kind of came out of the blue, I have actually been really enjoying it! Dixon is such a mopey loser these days that OF COURSE I was hoping for Silver and Ethan to make out hotly, and they did! Now just tell me that Ethan is staying on next season, and I will be a happy camper, shipping Ether or whatever other couple name you can come up with! It was completely great that Ethan was carrying around that picture of Silver that must have been taken literally moments before at the prom. That is devotion people, someone who will carry a picture of you around for minutes at a time! Also, the best thing about this picture on the left is that is shows us that Dixon's screen saver is of him and his best buddies! Looks like that's just about to implode dude!

-Navid/Adrianna/Brenda/Baby
Ok, so of course this was my favorite storyline (aside from the whole Annie getting a drink thrown on her thing) and despite some total weirdness (Dream Brenda!) I thought it was really well done. Jessica Lowndes is really carrying this show as far as dramatic acting goes, and she did not disappoint last night. When Navid told her that the adoptive parents were there and she started crying and saying "See! This is why I didn't want to hold her!" I was choked up! It's a bummer that her mother wasn't in any of the scenes (it really seemed like Brenda was filling that role which was a bit strange.), but all in all I think that they were great. I also really loved the scene with Navid and Ty, especially since even Ty seemed completely amazed that he had just done a non-douchebaggy thing there. Me too Ty, me too.

And yay! Brenda's a mommy! I hope that isn't their way of writing out her character though! Also, she should be the one with Dylan's baby!!!! NOT KELLY!!!! Sorry, I still get a little worked about that.


So that's it. 90210 is over for the season! We know that it will definitely be coming in the fall, THANK GOD and with it there will also be a Melrose Place reboot. Tuesdays are going to rule!
