Yay Max is back!

smoothaise

i kinda want annie's new sorority sister friend, bree, to become a cast member. she's bubbly. and fun.

liam's "acting" was hilarious.

so, now naomi is fighting her urges vs. what she thinks she should do. aka... her heart vs. her head. and it seems max went from her heart to her head. yikes.

eta: didn't.see.that.coming. i mean, i was expecting him to resurface, but i just wasn't clear on that. i thought the stalker would have been a bridge to help out the connection with ade/liam. but now, nope... not so much.

Alexa

im not fond of the fact that they are ruining naomi/max! these writers just like DESTROYING all the pairings on the show, dont they?

ale-la-pazza1

Okay episode.

So Ade doesn't have a stalker and the husband is not dead? WTF?!?!

The bar's commercial, I can't even

Dixon gets addicted more and more and nobody notices.

Max is back!
But they're kinda ruining Max/Naomi, yikes.

Naomi 1 - Holly 0.

And Annie is back in business.

Liam's commercial. HOT! And Ridiculous. I love that he was okay with it, because it brought in customers.

the new young ho from hung was the walking dead guy who was "stalking" ade.

Primal Slayer

Cannot stress enough how much I hate Navids business and Dixon thinking he will just blow up in the music bus. How does he even pay for anything?

smoothaise

Dixon calling the drugs "homework helpers" was quite hilarious.

Chastidy

So not great feedback from the episode I'm hearing? I can't watch it until tomorrow

Will I like it?

Chas, most of the fans liked it on 90210 Facebook/IMDB/Twitter, but at the same time, low ratings? So make of that what you will.

Previously on 90210....Dixon took some female hormone growth medication...oh, sorry, ADHD... meds from Quickdraw McHimbo, and Liam learned about Jane's ovulation.

Exterior of L.A. so we remember what city this show is set in, because if a casual viewer watches they'll just think 90210 is the number of students at CU.

They skinnified Naomi's coffee because Holly wants Naomi trim for Liam so she can have Annie all to herself. In the meantime, she wants to see Annie sweat. Poor Annie jogging in the '06 pink velour outfit...they're already prepping her for the Playboy Mansion... or in the G-rated world, the escort biz. The more you're fit, the more cash you get. Now Naomi has to go find Hopalong Hot Chest to help out her clan of minions. She wears leopard because Austin hasn't grappled human language yet since he talks to lots of animals.

Annie has the Benjamins near her breasts. Hooker/escort prep #2. Of course the stalker Holly doesn't want Annie interacting with Bree or any non-Kappa women so she offers her a scholarship. Annie pouts because she can no longer play volleyball. Answer? Volleyball scholarship. Duh.

Amal comes into a shadowy office and brings some freakin' money in a paper bag. Oh no, he's not a villain at all. But of course Navid is an idiot these days and will use a chunk of the Safeway money, after he checks his morals at the door. Food Lion fool.

Jane is excited she got her stuff and Liam is excited to see a younger picture of her. Nuff said. "You can't raise a baby in a bar." Maybe you should've thought of that before you agreed to help her raise Jim's kid. You're a struggling bar owner and Jane...well, what does Jane do besides look at pictures? Look at her dead husband's checks. Easiest job ever.

"Because of Beiber", Dixon gets to live out his dream. I sense a duet coming. He gives Navid a twirly hug which is more chest to chest contact than Silver will allow. Teddy has always wanted a twirly hug and would be very sad, if he still existed.

Goodness, Naomi in her panties trying to get a man to get her way. We saw this less than a year ago. Ewww, they're already groping each other. I know Cowdude wrestles pigs for fun, but seems like he's listening to the animal between his legs more than anything else. Naomi's horny and Austin didn't have to do a dang thang but smile. Well, ain't that peachy. So not liking this change, and he ruined a perfectly good dress.

"Say whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?" That's my expression when I watch 85% of the episodes. Like what does Ivy do all day? I guess that's why Naomi is putting her to work. Ceramics? Ivy probably thinks that's a type of science. If it doesn't involve waves and Mexican Cokes, don't call her.

Annie, you useless secret weapon. What are we going to tell all the little girls that are coming to watch you play volleyball?

No weed for a week. So long, Ivy. I love how Naomi's strength is HOTNESS, written legibly on the board. This causes Austin to slap her rump. He thinks she's a bird because she's staring at him and breathing.

Silver's asleep because Navid bored her to the point of exhaustion. He brings her some FAT coffee since his Bloom money led to some fat pockets. Silver mentions Juice and I'm more bummed than Dixon that we didn't get to see him. "Sugar Daddy"? More like Lump Daddy like that lump of sugar that sinks to the bottom of lemonade.

Ade's coat returns. They can't sell their Foxhole because you need smart people to sell liquor named after smart foxes. Ade wants to go to Liam's bedroom....HEE....and checks if Jane is around....HEE...and she's in Alaska....WHOA. Do I have to spell it out for you, you idiot foxes? This is what we call a missed opportunity. Booo, Silver walks in with her stank-eye so Ade must flee for the hills.

Liam will dance in a chicken suit to make money for Jane's baby. The kid will really appreciate that his dad's friend went to all this trouble.

Pretty beachin' Ade gets approached by Cueball Cutie. Twenty Questions with some stranger would get me going too. Time to (not) earn money!

"Two girls....uh..uh...I can't think of nothing." Why aren't you in school, Dixon? Even Tupac published a book. Of course his first instinct is to pull out the pills. Too bad we didn't get to see drugged up Dixon rap. Now we'll never found out what those two girls were doing.

Liam can't act worth a beercap. He should've aimed the cap at the girl's eye and gone for the slapstick comedy. Of course Navid's here because his Giant cashflow supermarket money allows him to goof off and he has to keep his assistant in line. Silver should be in school too. I'm going to laugh when Shirazi Studios goes belly up and the only thing Silver will have on her resume is a bar commercial with no talking Budweiser frogs.

Navid scared Coco and she puffed. She's trying to signal to them that their careers are poop if they don't get into a class, Ceramics at least.

"Austin is the devil." Yes, he is, Naomi. Yes, he is.

Holly runs in the dark because she's a stalker, and she knows Annie runs in the dark since Jasper is MIA.

And....we learn that a beer-covered chest is still a hot chest. Wind machine!! Where's Annie Leibowitz when you need her? Shut up, Navid. Coco stole your thunder a long time ago.

Polka Dot Penitent Princess Ade offers to clean up. She just wanted to touch Liam's chest, which she does, and now she'll have something to think about as she's cleaning.

Annie just magically shows up in Austin's room while Dixon's looking for drugs. Austin just lets every girl into his room, especially if they know Dixon. Like PrimalSlayer said, the fact that Dixon can get all this money WITHOUT going to school does not reflect well on Debbie. I could almost see if Dixon had a contract but he doesn't and I'm not really sure why Debbie is paying his rent. And she'll pay for HIS rent but not Annie's education. What the? Now you've got one kid who has legal drama and one kid that's turning to drugs because of a lack of money. Meanwhile, Navid gets his Shopper's Food Warehouse cash out of nowhere.

Holls catches Naomi and Lil' Doggie Stripper necking. I'm glad she keyed his truck. She should've bust the windows out your car....see, Dixon? I don't need no stinkin' pills to complete a musical lyric. Up jumps the boogie.

Austin found Holly's weakness, but it was over before it started. Annie's single and Holly's keeping tabs.

Adrianna listens to new age music as she clears the bar...clears the bar...Cueball Cutie wants her number...but he won't get far...he won't get far. If he creeps around....creeps around....

Jessica Lowndes does spooky well. She must've seen what Coco left behind the counter.

So lemme get this straight, Ade spent the night there and so did Liam, and they didn't......oh yeah, the stalker. Poor Ade. I felt bad for her. I'm glad Liam took action because he's been a lazy bum or a D-movie actor for the majority of the episode. Now he's got sense. Ade is shocked by him....she had no idea he knew how to use a Blackberry!

Five guys jumping into each other....it's time for the Greek Games. Yaaaaaaaay, Bree, is here! There's so much color. Tie-dye, bikinis, swimming trunks, beach umbrellas, towels, swimming trunks....oh, Raj is fully clothed. Thanks a lot, Raj. Now I'm distracted with the fact that you have on clothes and look better than half the guys. Ivy, stop baby-sitting him. You have to study for Ceramics.

Is Ivy still a competitive surfer? Kinda like Teddy and his competitive tennis, right? I won't ask again.

None of the geeks can pop the balloons. If it was Max, it'd be a whole different story. Yaaaaay Bree wins. Yaaay for her butt.

Devon is cool cause she likes carbs. She'd be cooler if she stuffed the pie into Austin's face. He'd eat it off his face too.

Naomi leaves the Phoney Ranger hanging. It is the mating ritual in his family and Naomi already avoided pregnancy. Good call.

What's with Dixon's shirt? Is he counting down the days until he can get a new batch of drugs? The slackers scored some tacos so they send him off to Cocaine Charice. Charice came all the way from Glee to give Dixon drug advice. And cash. Cash he could be spending on rent/school/pizza for Annie but I digress. Wait, one more. Feed your sweaty poor sister, Dixon! There. Had to get that out.

Holly is extra mad Naomi interrupted her special time with Annie. She's going DOWN. The referee looks like Rev Run. I guess he's got time since he's a retired rapper. Holly vs. Naomi is actually kinda fun. I wish they weren't fighting over a guy who probably picks his teeth with a piece of hay. Cause Naomi has informed him that he smells of animal bedding.

Annie is terrified. She wants Naomi to knock Holly's block off so she won't have to be Holly's escort tonight.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaax. And Naomi gets slimed. She took one for team Maxomi.

This isn't Annie's fault. I can't believe I'm defending Annie over Naomi. Ah, well. It must be the allure that causes Persian men to pay for her company.

Alumni magazine, my eight hundred dollar dress. This guy's a perv who goes around and photographs young women. Or he's there to disrupt yet another beloved couple on this fantabulous show. 90210 could win a Gold Medal in guillotining couples. He's boring as paste and turned Ivy into a gorilla.

Another useless police officer? Greaaaaaaaat. Awww, Ade doesn't want to be a bother. I love this scene cause out of the two men, Liam's trying to be useful. Unfortunately this won't last long. Liam's ticked and unleashes his wrath on Pregnant Widow, fresh off the boat from Alaska. Liam let her pay her own way home. He's already doing enough for her and the kid.

Maxomi is so genuine compared to Naomi/Walker Texas Exotic Dancer. None of these lame or as SB aptly put it, predictable scenarios. I can't believe the writers are pushing the predictable....oh wait, I can. But I loved the look and moment when she finds out he's nearby. "The best version of myself"...exactly. She's best around him.

They remembered Maxomi's love music....kay, points for that. Luckily, that doesn't need any lyrics.

Dixon's back and ready to blaze up the tracks. The two engineers have forgotten who he is but he buys them pizza and everything's alright. No mushrooms for sis. Annie is literally a starving artist.

Annie steps up to the plate by lathering herself up and sliding down a man's back. Escort practice #3.

A woman (Naomi) carries a man to victory. Girls rule! And they get scepters, suckers.

Yeah, choke on that Maxomi kiss, Cowbro. Translation: Don't smell like hay.

Now that Annie is giving herself to other men for luxurious dates Holly can't pay for, she releases Annie and starts planning to stalk Adrianna...because she really didn't have a stalker! Ade's lonelier so this may work out.

And we realize....it was Annie and Bree all along. Escort training is OVAH.

Raj and Ivy go to their bedroom and Raj stands in front of the sun so Ivy will focus on him. Raj/Ivy really are sweet but if he's magically cured, I might just throw up. I don't want him to die but if he lasts a couple years and then it's time, I won't hate it. It's just too lovey dovey and they'll probably ruin what I like R/J in the first place. Whatever, Rivy sex can wipe the nasty Naomi/Austin tryst from my memory.

Okay, so wait. Navid wants his production company NOT to make porn and they turn the commercial into Lite Beer porn? This confirms it. Nilver are a pair of idiots. Nilver gets to work at the bar because of the porn, however, and that may be the most honest work they will ever do.

Hicktin drinking champagne out of a coffee mug. We should be lucky it's not a pot. No, not pot like Faulkner's pot, but a pot you put a plant in....not a weed plant. Oh, just forget it. Everything he says is forgettable. Just look at the back of a saloon menu and you'll have this dude's dialogue down.

Grateful she called Max "the love of her life", but Ade said the same thing about Navid, and we know how that ended up. That's right. Trading a rootable couple for a couple that makes soft porn. Fail.

Gross. Now Max is going to have the stank of hay on his lips.

Detective Ade finds out the stalker is Jim. "Don't tell." Ade will tell. It's as sure as a shirtless Liam during November sweeps.

This episode was alright. I couldn't fully enjoy the returns of Max or Jim, who'll rightfully rescue his kid from being raised by Liam , but they were interesting twists....twists we saw coming but weren't totally unwanted. On the other hand, Austin is a HUGE twist we saw coming and something I don't want. Now we've got a new guy to interrupt adorable Raj/Ivy and she'll be taking photography instead of ceramics. The financial aspects of Dixon and Annie's lives are just laughable. I wanted Annie to get into some "adult entertainment" but not if it means Debbie's uninvolved. Then Dixon's just wasting time until he hits it big, and he KNOWS it. I don't know. Navid's mooching off his uncle's money. Silver's career is laughable. A lot of these characters are aimless and Ade's the hardest worker of them all. This episode makes me want to go to college all over again.

I'll give this a B- because I liked things here and there, but I wasn't down with certain aspects of most of the storylines. It was entertaining though. Like this story. Two girls......uhhhhhh......

Naomi falls into slime, Dixon can't do his rhymes, and brother, can you spare Annie a dime? I'm going to go find a bag of money and buy some Foxholes. That beer gotta go, ya'll!

Mayberry- You actually read the FB comments? Oh God, I applaud you. I can't even sift through five of them. The sheer amount of judgement and stupidity alone, makes me cringe.

Mayberry

^I just started reading them this year because I wanted to see what they thought of the new season. But they are quite....numbing, I'll say. I'd rather much go ten different places.

This made me literally, Laugh Out Loud.

supposively?!

Bwahaha! The last comment I read was "Where's Kelly?" I was like :face palm:

May, I haven't watched the whole epi yet (just the Maxomi scenes ), and honestly, I feel pretty satisfied after reading your review. I really don't want to have to pour acid into my eyes after those scenes.
