  • Great Season 2 premiere of "90210"

    "Great"

    The season 2 premiere of "90210" could have been a little better but it was great. The girls talking to each other at the beach was pretty annoying and I felt like I was watching a chick flick so that kind of brought down my score. I never saw the season 1 finale so I don't really understand what's going on but from what I see... Annie is acting kind of different after she called the cops on everyone and they all had to go to summer school. The plot to this episode seemed pretty interesting... I couldn't follow but once I got to the middle of the episode, I started to understand a little more. I didn't like how Annie was acting so mean to her family... talking about being a different person. The bond between Annie and Dixon haven't been going too well lately. Although, no matter how bad Annie treated her family, I kind of felt bad for her because she didn't do anything wrong and just probably felt like she was guilty or something. This episode was pretty exciting and got me pretty hooked. Overall, this Season 2 premiere could have improved just a little more but it was overall a great Season 2 premiere of "90210". 8/10

    Forced to attend summer school following the police crashing Naomi's after-prom party, Naomi, Silver and Adrianna form a tight bond with one another, while Annie finds herself more isolated from her friends and family as she worries about her hit-and-run. As summer draws to a close, the gang hangs out at the Beverly Hills Beach Club, where Naomi and Silver meet Teddy, the son of a famous movie star. Meanwhile, Dixon and Silver work to save their relationship, but it may be too little too late. Yay, 90210. I'm watching up due to missing it but episode four is on tonght hopefully I can catch up before then! I loved the ending to season one, let's hope that this season is just as good. I love the scene where Summer School is over, the Beach Club looks so awesome, I wish I lived that type of life. I love the scenes with the girls and then Dixon and Navid scene about sex. I feel sorry for Naomi seeing Jason with his family. I love the tennis scene, Naomi is my favourite. I love the scene between Annie and Dixon, Annie is a fool. I love the way Naomi wakes away from Jason. I love how awkward it is between Dixon and Silver but then they kiss - cute. I love the party scenes, and the dancing scene so cool. I love the scene between Navid and Adrianna - I feel sorry for Navid really. I love between the girls due to the fact that Silver loves Dixon. I love the way Liam is back. I love the ending.moreless

    In this episode of 90210, the following happens. As Summer school finally ends, we see Naomi, Adrianna and Silver all heading to the Beverly Hills Beach club, in order to enjoy their last few days of summer. We quickly see that giving the baby up for adoption is still having a massive effect on Adrianna. We then see Annie who is still keeping the accident a secret and is feeling very guilty over it all. We see her on computer looking at articles and we learn that the person she hit was a John Doe, who has just died. Annie has not been arrested nor has she yet been linked to the case. We are soon introduced to a new student called Teddy, who used to date Adrianna. Annie asks Dixon to take them somewhere so that they can talk. When they stop, as she tries to confess, he thinks she is on about sleeping with Liam and so she ends up shouting at him and he drives her to the party e is attending. She says she isn't going in, and he goes on without her. We also find out that Naomi has been having an affair with an older man, and she finds out that he is married. Dixon and Silver decide to give their relationship another chance and seal the deal with a kiss. Silver gets a text message from Ethan saying that he is staying in Montana and won't be coming back to Beverley Hills. Navid plans the perfect night for him and Adrianna to finally take their relationship to another level, but she tells him that she wants to ok. Although he tells her he is ok with it, he seems hurt, after having spent the day planning the perfect evening. Annie starts drinking at the party, which ends up with her going to a cabana with a boy she hardly knows. Naomi soon tells Navid that Teddy was Adrianna's boyfriend and that he was her first. After learning about the text message Dixon tells Silver that they are done. When Adrianna and Naomi learn about Ethan they go and comfort Silver. We then jump to the first day of school. We learn that Naomi is still missing Liam and still has feelings for him, even though he has moved to another state. Then, as if by magic, there he is. He asks to talk to her, but she can't and simply walks away. We learn towards the end of the episode, that it was Teddy, who driving the car that stopped to help the man in the previous season finale. Also soon mark starts boasting about sleeping with Annie, and we learn that he has pictures form that night on his cell phone. Naomi soon sees it, and sends it to her own phone. As Naomi smiles, you see that she is coming up with a plan to destroy Annie's life.moreless

    I loved watching 9210 it is like the best show ever!!! When i watched this i was like i know that i love this show for a reason. I liked how Naomi was back and happier than she was at the end of the last season. Annie really pissed me off. She did some stupid things i understand but i think that she should have been moe careful. I wish that Namomi wouldn't be sucha biotch and just sit down and listen to her. But other than that i think that we all will be in for a very good seasonmoreless

    A solid season opener from this show, the episode had its ups and downs but what I was really impressed about is all the things that happened in this episode, it was so eventful and opened up multiple arcs for the future. Annie is not the same girl she was before the party, considering she ran over someone, and kept driving right after being falsely accused. Annie has become the outcast, and we see a huge personality shift, not just with Annie but with most of the characters. I guess this season will determine if the changes are good. The beginning, with Silver, Adrianna & Naomi just walking around the beach club talking was so annoying in my opinion. It felt like I was watching some reality MTV show, where all the girls talk about pointless things. In this case, it was like that. It turns out that because of Annie calling the cops on the party, everyone at the party had to go to summer school. We see the beach club, where everyone hangs out in the summer apparently. Annie was so mean to her family, they didn't deserve that, they did nothing wrong. You could only help but feel sorry for the family. The brotherly/sister bond dies out between Dixon & Annie. Once we find out Annie killed the guy she ran over, she was going to tell Dixon, but Dixon just assumed she was talking about sleeping with Liam. They end up getting in a huge fight and exchanging "Screw you's." Annie is stranded at the beach club by Dixon, and she ends up meeting Mark. A guy who gets Annie drunk and attempts to sleep with her, they get a beach club cabana from Navid, who was going to use it on Adrianna who rejected him. Funny how that works; Adrianna is set on being "No Drama" Adrianna. Adrianna catches up with her "first:" Teddy Montgomery. The new character, who looks old enough to be 30, is introduced. It is revealed that he was Adrianna's first and that he was the one who found the guy that Annie hit on the side of the road in the finale. So the plot thickens; Silver & Dixon get back together, only to break up again when he finds out she's been texting Ethan without telling him, through Teddy. I don't know if I like this Teddy character, all I know is that the actor does not belong on a high school show. The whole episode, I found myself feeling bad for Annie. She did nothing wrong, and she is being outted by everyone, even Silver, and Mark rejects her the morning after they hooked up. And he has a naked picture of her, which Naomi gets her hands on! Oh no! Who knows what Naomi will do with the picture? Liam goes back to West Beverly; we learn that Naomi still isn't over him. So like I said, and as you can see above, a lot of things happen in this episode. I do still not like the Adrianna/Silver/Naomi conversations, and that slow-mo walk at the end made me embarrassed with this show. Other than that, this episode was extremely eventful and got me excited to find out what was going to happen next.moreless
