90210

90210 isn't the show for original twists or well thought through plots but for anyone who has a preference for teen girl shows, it works. Naomi screaming it out upon hearing about Ivy's wedding says it all or the romantic kiss during the tossing of the caps. This show is for teen girls. And a guilty pleasure for everyone else.

Don't ask why Annie is suddenly so offended by Liam's doubts or why Adrianna sees ghosts a year after one's passing and keeps evidence of her schemes in her pocket or why there were two Indian weddings during this May Sweeps. Instead, enjoy. I for one found it rather refreshing to see Adrianna deal with her actions once again. It's never fun when an evil biatch promises to be better but for her there really was only one other option: dying the horrible fall that killed a certain Johnny five years ago.

The couples on the show are all great, I have to say. I like Liam and Annie, Naomi and Max, Ade and Navid, Rasj and Ivy, yes, even Teddy and Marco. But I do not approve of weird looks between Dixon, who for once proved he wasn't completely screen filler, and the worst mom of the week. Weddings and shocking pregnancies beyond, the finale wasn't too bad. It's not the dramatic outburst I wanted, because I do want a finale like season one, but it worked well enough. Really do wonder how they are going to do it next year though.

I feel the energy that was built up in season one and 2 kind of drained out this season, the pace was more slow and nothing major really happened. Although,this season was still satisfying in a different way to the previous seasons. It tried new things and still contained a lot of storylines, ending on a positive note. Saying this it just managed to get away with being a good season, with a reasonable finale. In my opinion 90210 finales always stand out the most in each season. This finale had the same pace as the previous episodes in the series, with a slight edge of a finale feeling i suppose. Either the writers are running out of ideas or just getting lazy, when the actors have so much more to give, they could atleast explore the characters more next season! Bad points:Annie and liams relationship has sort of been killed of, i always liked the idea of them to, but it has been killed of from the start of their romance. Adriannas story in this episode was just lame, basically throughout the whole season. All the build up for nothing, i hope she does get her head sorted out because she is making me as a viewer bored&insane, no matter how attractive she is! However There's always something watchable about her. She's like venom. Good points: Thank God for Niaomi! She stole the show throughout the season and in this episode. Her storyline has been the best in season 3 and so has teddys. They should have shown more of teddy this season and less of Adrianna!

This 3rd season finale for "90210" was such a gross disappointment. Actually, the whole season has been a disappointment, but this finale takes the cake.



As a graduation episode, we only saw it for about 5 minutes. The rest of it was filled with needless angst, Adrianna's exposure and a wedding. Honestly, I didn't care for the wedding, actually, I never cared for Raj and Ivy, having fast-forwarded through all of their scenes in previous episodes.



How should a graduation episode have been done? Look no further than to the predecessor, "Beverly Hills, 90210". Now *that* was a classic episode. Flashbacks galore. The characters really all cosy and chummy, even between Brenda, Dylan and Kelly.



And the best part: a short, retrospective moment between the two main characters, Brendon and Brenda, as they looked back at how far they've come since moving to BH. I was hoping for a similar scene between Annie and Dixon, but I guess that was just too much to ask of the "90210" writers, who clearly don't know how to write a good show. Does anyone remember when this show was about a Midwestern family's experience of living in Beverly Hills?



I'm still half-hearted about continuing with season 4, if that happens.

Overall, it was a good episode. Reminded me a lot of the Beverly Hills,90210 episode from season 6 "One Wedding and a Funeral". I know the parents are going to have a lot less importance now that the kids are going to college, but where is the part that said that Ryan would ask Deb to move to Paris with him? It's kind of unfair to let Deb go without explaining what happened, isn't it? On the other hand, Naomi being pregnant would be an interesting turn to the show, which opens up to a great storyline in season 4 with Max gone.

90210 by no means is a GREAT SHOW but it is usually entertaining and a fairly decent show to watch. But this episode was all over the place and it didn't...idk. This finale sucked compared to the other 2.



Graduation:



They are Graduating...that is what is shown within like the first 15 minutes and it was rushed through.



Naomi decides to take the blame for Max's cheating....But of course, he comes to her aid in the end and admitted to cheating.



The ceremony was literally 5 minutes long...in the 5 minutes Liam & Annie Breakup over the most contrived plot line. They have been doing great and out of nowhere, it randomly pops up that he doesn't want to go college.



Ivy: Her Wedding plot line was actually pretty good. I usually don't like her but I do enjoy what they have done with her character all season. From Oscar to the accident to raj. It was very romantic and the wedding looked fun.



Best parts of the episode



Silver, Adrianna, and Navid:

LOL So silver and Ade are BFF and Navid is heartbroken because he can't remember what he did(OR DIDNT DO) and silver breaks up with him.



Of course Ade's secret comes out about the pills when she is with everyone at a bachelor/bachelorette party and Naomi is swinging the purse around. I did like how Naomi told her to get out.



So for the rest of the episode...she is hallucinating and seeing Javier(Her conscience basically) and contemplating suicide.



In the end she decides to live...I like bad Ade and I like good ade...But if she would have jumped, that would have been Amazing.



Best Parts of the episode:

Ivy's Wedding



Worst Part of the Episode:

1)Where was Annie and Dixon's mom? Or Ryan for that matter....Not one clip of them at Graduation



2)Silver should have slapped the mess out of Ade but she is just...idk. Not upset enough. Someone literally made you crazy and you are just speechless and all you can say is go to hell...But you can fight her over a boy? But not for switching with your meds...and costing you college?



3) Annie & Liam's breakup/makeup and him randomly leaving...Is he coming back next season



4)Naomi and Max's breakup---



5)The Whole Graduation Ceremony



6)Limited Teddy and Marco....Ugh



I'm not sure what is going to happen next season. Naomi is pregnant(surprisingly) and it seems like they are all going to different colleges...so how exactly will this work? I'm confused.



and will someone find Dixon(And Navid) some plotlines instead of just being secondary characters.

After three years of whiney teen angst and some of the most ridiculous story lines committed to screen, 90210's characters are set to move into the future to become fully fledged adults (or whatever the ridiculous 90210 version of adults is).



"To the Future!" dealt with an abundance of story lines that have been built up over the course of the season, the most important being that Adrianna is finally discovered as a fraudulent compulsive liar for about the fifth time. After a stripper mix-up the boys and the girls come together for a bachelor/bachelorette party and when Naomi drops Adrianna's bag whilst looking for $1 bills, Silver's medication falls out. Confirming to Silver her suspicions of last week that her pills had indeed been switched out for placebos. The ramifications of being discovered almost turn Adrianna to suicide, and whilst I would ordinarily advise people feeling such a way to seek out help, I was fairly disappointed when she backed out of taking the plunge. Her character is so thoroughly unlikeable, so unbelievably self centered and downright unrealistic that she just needs to go. If the writers allow her to redeem herself in the eyes of her friends after everything that she has done, I will have simply lost all of the very little respect that I have for them.



The couples of 90210 have some big issues to deal with as well, with Max and Naomi facing the consequences of cheating; Liam telling Annie that he doesn't want to go to college and live with her and Ivy and Raj getting married. Whilst you would assume that the wedding would be the most important story line, Ivy's involvement in the third season has been so small that it really only served to set the scene for everyone else's problems. When Naomi and Max both face being expelled over Max's cheating, Naomi confesses to save her boyfriend, leaving her unable to graduate. At the graduation ceremony, unable to cope with the lies, valedictorian Max then confesses to everyone that he doesn't deserve to graduate because he is the cheat. Max - now unable to go to college - is set to be sent away to summer school by his parents, in the hope that MIT will accept him in the fall, but his plans are cut a little bit short when Naomi reveals some news. She is pregnant. Annie and Liam have a similar little saga of changing decisions when after initially breaking up with him upon the news that he isn't going to college, Annie decides that she loves him too much and will support his decision to go deep sea fishing. The remainder of the episode is of course devoted to the wedding of Ivy and Raj, a ceremony that of course wouldn't be complete without another character flip-flop to fit in nicely with everything else that is going on. When the two lovers deliver their big news to both of their parents, Raj's are more than happy to give them their blessing, but Laurel - a woman who usually goes along with just about anything - is against it. As they prepare to have the wedding without Ivy's mom, Dixon comes to the rescue with really his only story line in the whole episode, when he delivers some profound words to Laurel and changes her mind.



All in all "To the Future!" kept up with the tradition set by 90210 this season. There was far too much screen time devoted to the story that mattered the least; there was some terrible acting by some, much better by others and there was a nice cliffhanger (the pregnancy) to keep us waiting for the next episode/new season. How the fourth season of the show is going to work I'm not exactly sure. With just about everyone going their separate ways, having any kind of story is going to require them to come back together. The only real ways of achieving this is to either have the entire season take place during a college break, or make them all older. With most of the main cast playing between five and ten years younger than they actually are, a jump to the future story line might actually work. One Tree Hill pulled off some of it's best material in the season after they jumped 5 years into the future and 90210 might just have the same chance.

The first 90210 finale that was really disappointing in my eyes. You can really see how much this show has regressed over the course of three years. What with the first season finale being the best, second season finale being good, and this one just being intolerable.



The worst story lines of the season were put on the forefront tonight and probably the majority of the episode consisted of the entire group dancing. Where's the exciting cliffhangers that we've all been waiting for? Where's the payoff? Honestly.



The only cliffhanger is that Naomi is pregnant. Like that hasn't been done before. Yes, I'm being sarcastic. It's just the same old themes with 90210. Breaking up with someone just because they decide not to go to college? Have some common sense, please.



The finale had some potential but it just failed miserably tonight. Nothing was remotely interesting, Adrianna's scheming coming to light could have been better. Just horrible.
