That's About As Much Tolerance I'll Have For This Show By The Finale

I can't say anything.  I'll let the following speak for itself.

Ridiculous  This absurd no tolerance video goes beyond cheesy and as gullible Annie is, she would’ve had to say no way to it no matter what Principal Daddy promised her.

Ridiculous  Liam drew a fish on his English test.  If he were truly the punk he tries to be, then he would have instead written a diatribe against the English language.

Miscellaneous  “Shave everywhere” is good advice on any day, not for just prom.

Miscellaneous  Wait a minute—sophomores have proms?

Ridiculous  I thought Ethan was king of the school.  How can he not have a date?

Awesome  Annie’s not nominated for queen, but Dixon is nominated for king.

Awesome  Grudge match:  Kelly Taylor versus Naomi’s sister Jen (so called that)

Ridiculous  It’s over Mr. Matthews (no matter what KT says, it’s so totally over him).

Awesome  Dixon wins prom king over Ethan and Ty.

Ridiculous Silver wins queen as a write-in.  She doesn’t even go to that school!

Awesome  Way to go, KT!  Totally cockblock Liam by letting Naomi know he went to prom to get out of going to military school.

That's About Right  Adrianna goes into labor (so called that too!)

Now if the previews speak the truth, the real action will happen next week to make up for tonight's predictability.  But I'm not banking on it.

This Episode Has NOTHING To Do With Dionysis Unless I Missed All The Naked Drunken Dancing

I almost fell asleep during this episode.  I think that the producers should contemplate maybe making it a half-hour show.  Cut out the boredom and do split screens--you know, have the Naomi, Ethan, Annie storyline on one half and then the Dixon, Silver on the other.  End with some nonsense shots of Mr. Matthews and a fight between Adrianna and Navid, and it's a wrap.  Instead, we have this:

Ridiculous What?  Is up?  With Naomi’s eyebrows?

Ridiculous  Now it’s turned into a public service announcement for HPV.  90210 takes on ALL the issues.

Ridiculous This Catechism girl?  Is 45.

Awesome  Liam’s cousin to Annie: “You are a hottie, Annie Dog!”

Awesome Liam asks Annie out!

Awesome Catechism girl to Silver: “You’re the whore from the video...Don’t take offense to that.  People think Mary Magdalen was a whore but she was one of Jesus’s best friends.  People can repent.” 

Miscellaneous  While Adrianna did screw up by not telling Navid that Ty is the baby daddy, Navid should still not shout in the face of a pregnant girl.

Ridiculous  Who the hell is Jen?  I mean, I get that she’s Naomi’s sister, but why is this the first we’re hearing of her?  Where has she been through everything that’s happened so far?  Wouldn't she at least appear when they thought that Naomi and Annie shared a half-brother?

Ridiculous No.  No way.  Uh-uh.  There’s no way that Ethan slept with Naomi’s sister AND Naomi.  While I’ve begun to accept that Ethan actually dated Naomi, I cannot and will not believe that he (A) did it with two sisters and (B) did it particularly with Jen, who is obviously in a different league, wayyyyyyy different.

See?  The best parts are few and far between.  Think about it, writers and producers.  Think. About. It.

Between Absurdity and Ridiculousness

Let's leap right in.

Ridiculous West Bev students who have breakdowns mid-year, as with any student in these United States, can switch schools.  I don’t know why that isn’t an option for Silver; perhaps, guidance counselor Kelly Taylor should look into that.  While I’m on it, Adrianna could’ve switched schools like nine times by now.

Ridiculous Naomi looks 36, but really good for 36.

Ridiculous With the 90210 Go Green campaign in full swing,  I would think that Annie would use travel mugs for coffee instead of disposable coffee cups

Awesome Ethan and Liam are totally hooking up soon, just like Brandon and Dylan did on the original.  Liam even invites Ethan to the beach!

Miscellaneous  Okay, while Ethan is acting like a total douche to Mr. Matthews, at least he’s got some personality finally.

That's About Right Silver fails to see the irony of her bemoaning people talking about her while she’s the one who kept the gossip blog.

Ridiculous No, you cannot ask random girls on a street corner in L. A. where the latest hotspot is.

Awesome Kelly Taylor and Donna wind up at a lesbian bar.

Awesome Naomi to Annie: “I’m not the girl you run into in a Chinese restaurant and take into the bathroom...anymore.”

Ridiculous  No one can suck as badly as Annie does at being a friend.

Awesome Naomi staying at Annie’s house is just like when Dylan stayed at the Walsh’s (except for the gay love affair).

Ridiculous  How did Donna lease the store and open it so quickly?

Ridiculous Navid wants to raise Adrianna’s baby with her AND marry her.

So now I officially watch this show for how many times I can catch recycled storylines from the original.
