90210: And we're back...

While it may not have grown on some people, 90210 (2.0) is definitely growing on me. This week proved that the show may be coming around. The gang is forming slowly but surely. It has its core -- Annie, Dixon, Silver, Ethan and Navid. Tuesday's show focused on family and still giving up some insight into the characters. The Wilsons' bring that good ol' "Walsh" feeling back -- except that 20-year-old illegitimate child thing. They planned a "Family Night" of bowling only for their kids to bring their cool new friends with a boatload of D-R-A-M-A.

Silver has to deal with the same messed up problems as Kelly, though Kelly never lived in a Woman's Shelter or her car, so Silver has it really messed up. At what point will Jackie let the sauce go and tend to her kids. We met her drunken and coked-up ass in the first couple episodes of the original show, and now she is back drunker than ever. Silver should seek refuge with her cute older brother David (Brian Austin Green) -- I mean, where is he anyway? (Oh yeah, on that Terminator show.)

From Ethan's flirty exchange with Annie at her locker, I knew this was going to be my new favorite couple. The tug of war with my heart is reminiscent of Brenda and Dylan, but we have so far to go before they ever get on that level. Plus he has to deal with Naomi.

Oh Naomi. Poor little rich girl. Your mother is a kept woman and she likes it that way. Deal with it. I mean, you did get a great car! Ungrateful. And it seems you will get Ethan back. So stop your whining! (Am I the only one over this whole disenchanted princess theme on these shows?)

I yelled out "That's my old slut Kelly!" when Ryan kissed her. Kelly always had a man who she was doing, so let's not make her boring in 2.0. Keep her self-righteous and slutty! And can we get to who is the father of Kelly's son? Just reveal if that is little Sammy McKay already.
