Believe it or not, I am still watching “90210.” I just usually catch up after it’s aired. Now that it’s on Hulu it’s much easier than waiting 1+ weeks for the CW to post it to their site. It’s been AGES since I wrote about the show, so here are some of my thoughts on the various stories . . . .

Naomi is and continues to be the best part of the show. Annie and Dixon who? I am still saddened to see her and Max break up, but I loved the Halloween episode with Austin’s dad . . . aka Mr. Achey Breaky Heart himself. Well I didn’t so much like that Holly once again took Naomi down . . . she makes Naomi look like a saint. I have high hopes Naomi will eventually have the last laugh on her.

I don’t like what they are doing with Ivy and Raj, and her seemingly growing attraction to Nick. I can see where this entire story is headed, especially with her winning the photo journalism trip with Nick and Raj learning his cancer is healed (and him wanting to go to medical school). The writing is on the wall. They’ll say that the two of them got caught up in the romance of him dying, it was their own little fairytale . . . they never thought what if he lived. Well at least Ivy didn’t . . .

Dixon’s drug habit . . . . why? We went through this with Adrianna not long ago. The only reason I can see for it is to make Adrianna good again, and have her gain her lost friendships back by helping Dixon. Meanwhile Annie whoring herself out to pay for Dixon’s treatment? BARF! She’ll either end up in jail and needing her own financial help, or hooked on drugs to deal with her whoring and end up needing help like Dixon.

Watching Brandy play a politician has been hilarious, but I have liked seeing her play a lying cheating one that will do anything to win. Brandy a bad girl? Who would have thought! Well she claimed the greater good prevailed . . . but that’s how all politicians rationalize playing dirty.

Poor Teddy, this story they’ve given him as a send off I feel has been terrible and a slap in the face. He’s still deep in the closet, even if he has come out to his friends. He’s basically putting himself back in the closet to please his family, and he’s alienating the guy he likes with all his “your political fight isn’t my fight” talk. I hope he gets some kind of happily ever after before they write him off and we never see his character again . . .
