More thoughts on 90210

Wo, Brandon was a drama queen. He keeps butting into everyone's business and getting pretty passionately angry after like one person tells him one thing.

The fourth episode is kinda racist. Brandon is intimidated during basketball tryouts by these tall, good players including several black guys. Bitter Steve puts the angry bug in Brandon's ear that these guys are bussed in, aren't smart, and don't even show up for classes. That's an extreme argument even for an anti-affirmative action opinion. Brandon gets mad, investigates (remember he's also a journalist) that some of the guys are part of this assistance program but later finds out he was totally wrong about one of the black guys. In kinda apologizing and saying how everyone judges everyone else, Brandon says, "Well, I'm not a cowboy and you're not a gangbanger crackhead." Wow. TOTALLY the same kind of level of stereotype. WOW.

This show is like a made-for-tv special. Ah, special episodes, everytime.

Ok, watching the new show. I don't like the curly haired girl (eh), the supposedly lead guy seems like a wuss, and the main twin girl is super skinny. All these white people look the same, can you tell them apart? And I say that as a white chick!

OMG, my heart skipped a beat when an actor that had been on The Wire hugged the actress from Arrested Development. Ah, my tv worlds have combined! Kinda. And yes, she still does a great passive-aggressive bitter drunk.

The pilot echoes the pilot from the original 90210. I say that because I watched it last night, hee hee.

In the first scene, the dad says, "Family is the most important thing." Arrested Development, shout out!

These kids actually look like teenagers. Not 30yr old MEN (yes, you, Ian Ziering).

It feels like the OC a bit.

I'm waiting for Shannon Doherty to show up. Brenda, come out and play!
