Previous Entry Flag Next EntryIs it just me, or was it weird to see Brenda and Kelly as friends. I'd love to see some sort of flashback to convince me that they somehow went from enemies to friends over the past ten years.Also, was it just me, or did they show the Peach Pit with about four different outside logos? Regardless, I want more Nat! His scenes seemed forced. Why didn't they show him interacting with the new kids. I think that Dixon needs to get a job there.Annalynn Macord keeps playing annoying/bitchy/crazy characters. I mean, props to the actress, because she makes me hate her each time. She did it on Greek, then Nip/Tuck and now 90210. I just about screamed when i thought that they were going to make her and Annie friends. Clearly, she's the villian in the show. I do like her drug addict/actress best friend, though. I'd definitely like to see some good storylines with her character. I definitely think we'll get to see her and Annie competing for roles in the musical.Awww, little Erin Silver is all growed up! I love what they did with her character and think that her and Annie are a great match as best friends. I'd like to see her get with Evan, though, just to fuck with Niaomi. Also, did everyone catch little Hannah Zuckerman-Vasquez on the morning news? I wonder if we're going to get to see more of her.I don't really see the point of the grandmother. I hope the family moves out and gets their own house soon, so we can see less of her. Who wants to see Brenda steal Mr. Matthews from Kelly? Just for old times' sake. =)Overall, it was a great pilot episode and I look forward to all of the misadventures of our favorite new 90210ers!

It was nice to see Brenda and Kelly back...but I kind miss bitchy Brenda.Hmm...I still have the Ep saved, but I only noticed one logo. MORE NAT PLS!!!<3 Annalyn McCord. Despite the fact that she needs to be FED, STAT! SHE is the new Brenda. Seriously. The actual new Brenda, Shanae Grimes from Degrassi is cool. I was glad to see the Evan, Annie, Whatshisname love triangle at the end (though if you throw in Naomi it's a quadrangle?). Annie certainly does the good midwestern girl thing well. Can she bring the Bitch? Speaking of feeding her, STAT. Jesus, the girl can't even fill out her clothes!Yay! Erin Silver!!! <33333 Totally caught Hannah Zuckerman-Vasquez; what a dead ringer for Andrea! I hope she's an actual character. I LOVE the grandmother. OMG. Thank GOD for comic relief. I mean, the whole show is fabulous cheese, but the grandmother just...kicks it up to high comedy. I love me some Brenda...but seeing her poor distorted face is just...painful. It's like Mark Hamill except she never got into a terrible car accident. I LOVED IT. LOVED IT LOVED IT LOVED IT.SO GLAD they kept the opening music and cast. Perfect blend of present and nostalgia.
