TELEVISION RECAP: 90210 The Porn King, S3, Ep 4

9010ep4c

Is it possible for a show to jump the shark 3 episodes into its 2nd season? Saying the show jumped the shark is like saying the show was great for a few seasons and tanked years later, 90210 was never great, just tolerable. But Jesus is this show DUMB. I’m 10 minutes into this week’s episode and I’m ready to put it into the dead pool. I don’t want to waste any more time on it. What’s the sin committed? The homeless guy that Annie hit at the beginning of the summer is a former West Beverly student who donates $100,000 and his nephew comes to the school to do an interview for the newspaper. He appears to know that Annie is responsible the way he keeps looking at her.

 

When did Harry go from being this cool attentive father to someone who doesn’t know that everyone in his school has nude pictures of his daughter on their phone and doesn’t even notice that Dixon wasn’t home all weekend? I can understand Debby not knowing about the Sext, but she should notice Dixon not being home as well. This would never happen with the Walsh’s! The minute Brenda and Dylan crossed the LA County line Jim was all over them and fuming for days. Adrianna starts to fantasize about Teddy, she also gets another audition, if she doesn’t show up her agent is going to drop her. Liam finds dirt on Tracey and blackmails her; obviously she’s not going to go all the way with the truth. Ah, Tracey makes up some lame story for Naomi who just laps it up. I’m so sick of this stupid story line. Silver is now on the dead homeless man story and his nephew keeps giving Annie the harry eyeball. Teddy tells some bad jokes about the homeless guy and refuses to talk to Silver about what happened because he’s involved in the investigation – supposedly. I’m sure he knows more than he’s saying. Adrianna got the part and Navid isn’t happy.

I really hate these dumb Windows 7 commercials with the annoying girl, how about that CW runs commercials for Vamp Diaries (one every commercial break this episode!) and America’s Top model but none for Supernatural.

We’re back from break Sasha discovers Navid’s porn collection in the car. Dixon tells her that he’s in the Porn Business and that he’s not in the music industry. She’s upset and he promises that there are no more lies. Have I said recently how much I hate Dixon this season? Harry eyeball boy put the moves on Annie. I have no idea where this story is going to go; he keeps looking at her like he knows she did it, but then acts like he doesn’t. So either he’s a really bad actor or he’s setting her up. Tracey rubs in her lie in Liam’s face as he just stands there dumbstruck. Please tell me he was smart enough to at least record the conversation as backup. Adrianna cries on Teddy’s shoulder he of course put the moves on her, Silver sees them. Poor Navid.

At the end of the episode Sasha showed up at Dixon’s and sees him get out of his real car and hug Debbie. Dixon actually gave her his real address? Real smart. Alright, Liam was smart enough to record the conversation. Old school schemers better watch out for those cell phones! Hopefully this will all come to a head next week. Adrianna turned down the part and reaffirms her love for Navid and they do the deed.The preview for next week’s episode looks terrible. Naomi goes green, ooh, sounds like an exciting show.

I’m hot and cold on this show, on the one hand it’s just terrible and I was read to finally give up before the opening credits even rolled. I kept with it and I enjoyed the episode, it’s like a train wreck that I can’t turn away from. I know it’s only the 4th episode of the season but everyone is so unlikable that they really need to turn the corner and go somewhere with these storylines and move faster than they are.

Episode Grade – C

  1. WHY ARE YOU SO NEGATIVE?
    the episode wasnt that bad and your just a hater.
    if you dont like it so bad….maybe you shouldnt watch it all.. duh

  2. First off who is Tracey? do you mean Jen? and secondly if you watched last weeks episode you'd know that Harry and Debbie do know about the sext.

    1. Yes, Harry and Debbie know now because Dixon told them at the beginning of last weeks episode when Harry was yelling at Dixon for hitting that guy for "no reason." I mentioned that in last week's __recap. And I admit I have no idea who Naomi's sister's name is since for some reason I can never hear it, I thought it was Tracey since that's the only other Clark listed on IMDB. So if it is Jen that'll be what I use.
