9021-CREEP 0

While i originally planned to write some 'Quips of the Night' from that other CW guilty pleasure, 90210,  I realized this week's episode "How Much is that Liam in the Window?" was not very quotable but was indeed, very creepy.

Is it just me or is this show becoming increasingly more creeptastic each week? Every storyline seems to be just a tad bit disturbing. It's great, completely unrealistic in most points and fun to watch but severely creepy. So here's the rundown of this week's episode with some back story on the creep factor for those who haven't watched recently.

Adrianna

Ade is still working for Javier's creepy uncle, Victor. She was a creep stealing her dead peer's songbook and he's a creep, blackmailing her into super stardom. He made her pose topless, wants profits from Silver's senior project on her, and he's taking 50% of the profits she makes. But Ade's seduced by the fame and slowly falling away from Navid. Overall, it's a strange and eerie situation.

Naomi/Jen/Ryan


Michael Desmond/The CW
Last season, Naomi was raped by the creepiest of all characters, Mr. Cannon. In last week's episode, we saw the girls try to set him up at a hotel room to prove that he is inappropriate with his students. The plan backfired, however, when Mr. Cannon brought the school's principal and therapist to meet up with Silver. Knowing she is bipolar, the school assigned her some therapy sessions for her proposition and let it be. In this week's episode, Jen (Naomi's evil sister) hears Silver and Naomi talking about her rape. In an unsurprising and heartfelt turn, Jen is pissed and ready to go to bat for her sister. She wants to kill Cannon and from this, we get some great insights into the human side of her. A sweet moment ensues between them. Which brings us to Ryan (Naomi's teacher, Jen's baby daddy).....He apparently saw Naomi and Cannon together that night in the spring as Cannon was closing the blinds. Due to his drunken state, he didn't see too much more but he's willing to come forward. Hopefully, this will be the beginning of the end for this creep show. I'm really feeling a bit uncomfortable every time I see Mr. Cannon (Hal Ozsan) on screen.

Ivy/Laurel/Oscar
Michael Desmond/The CW 

First of all, Where did this Oscar fellow come from? He graduated high school in another country but is still attending events at West Bev? I don't really remember the exact details of his arrival and am not into looking them up right now (bad i know!) but he is really lame and annoying. He slept with Laurel (Ivy's mom) all summer and now he's slept with Ivy. As we learn at the end of this week's episode, he was out for revenge against Laurel for ruining his family. Looks like he got it, and so I'm assuming or at the very lest hoping its 'Sayonara Oscar.'

Liam/Annie/Charlie/Laura
Michael Desmond/The CW

Annie is dating the deep and dark playwright Charlie who is Liam's brother. Liam is being pseudo stalked by Laura (his purchaser at the date auction) and is now living in her pool house (Thanks to a job offer/play to stay he accepts from a woman whose name he doesn't even know!) Both brothers seem to have mysteriously large scars which I'm assuming they got together or gave to each other back in Minnesota. There is definitely some creepiness in this storyline.

Dixon and Silver didn't have much to do tonight except for play in the background while Teddy was MIA for the whole episode. I wonder what they'll get into next week?

And that's pretty much what's going down in the creepy world of West Bev. In next week's episode, some of the gang heads to the senior achievement awards while others head to the undies (under achievement awards). If you're a fan of the show, I'm sure you can figure out what characters go to which.

What do you guys think about the creepiness factor in 90210? Are you still finding it entertaining or is it just getting ridiculous? What do you think happened to Charlie and Liam? Comment below and let me know!!

90210 is on Monday Nights at 8pm EST on the CW. Head over to cwtv.com for full episodes, pictures and more.

its been an interesting season so far. multiple gay storylines, rape(adrianna w/ rumor willis, was that last season?), creepy teachers, jen turning out to be not so evil, the whole ivy/dixon/oscar storyline. then you got liam who just cant catch a break with annie or anyone. the writers seem lost as to what to do w/ him.

sucks kelli and dixon and annie's father arent on the show but this season has been good. im surprized it made it to season 3.

i wonder if liam and his bro were beaten as kids by a family member or something like that. cant wait to find out


great post!
