90210 Dissection

So, its back. Not that nasty case of chlymadia I picked up in my 20's (ha.ha.), I mean 90210.

And I'm noticing a few things...

1. Naomi could be very attractive. but she's one of those girls that if you saw her on a street, you'd like: she sort of resembles a trout. but on TV, we're supposed to think she's drop dead gorg. I don't think I'm buying it.

2. the new guy, Liam (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1782667/) keeps getting compared to Dylan. He AIN'T Dylan, and if he was, he'd be dating Annie, since she's the Brenda character. Which brings me to what this blog is really about...

THIS 90210 Ain't the OLD 90210. So stop comparing them. Stop it. Just stop it.

Why?

1. they have zip in common besides the fact that two students moved to beverly hills. I'm guessing, and this is just a hunch, that this probably happens from time and time and we don't need to keep trying to draw comparisons.

2. I'm pretty sure there wasn't a main character that went crazy and tried to kill her teacher and film her and her boyfriend having sex.

3. naveed = steve? really? steve was hideous. really, seriously. why did we do NOTHING about his hair for an entire decade?

4. THIS 90210 has made the mistake of putting WAY too much into season 1. like, what the hell are you going to do after this:
-- main character has drug problem, goes to rehab, gets boys who has loved her forever, gets pregnant with another guy's kid, reconciles with mom. this took YEARS to evolve on the old show.
-- another main character doesn't believe in love, falls in love, goes crazy, loses virginity, goes crazier, tries to kills someone
-- another main character pines for boy, gets boy, boy "cheats", breaks up with boy. It took 2 2/12 seasons for this to happen for Brenda and Dylan
-- dad finds out he has a kid with high school girlfriend, find kid, he steals from them, family in turmoil, hottie kid leaves...

okay, I know that times have changed and kids today need faster excitement...but this is f'ing ridiculous. where the heck do we go from here?!?!?

I'll have some predictions tomorrow...stay tuned!
