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.

90210

oh hey! So there's like a bajillion shows that my tiVo taped this week and I realize with the next week starting there is no way I can do posts on everything so look forward to a couple of quick blurbs with my thoughts on some returning/new shows this fall.

90210.

Totally my guilty pleasure. Here are some thoughts on the most recent episode "Age of Inheritance" where Naomi turns 18, throws a rocking bash and gets her trust fund.

- How creeptastic is Mr. Cannon huh? I hate him. Guy is totally creepin' all over Silver. However, I'm loving the ominous music they have playing when he's around. It's so soap-y.
- I understand Naomi lying about Mr. Cannon, but she can't go all crazy and almost hit him with her car while Ade is in the front seat and use the acceleration of her new BMW as an excuse. (Wow that was a run-on huh?) Hello Adriana, you're stupid to believe that.
- Loved that bit with Liam and Annie together on the boat. Too bad he was lying about it "boat sitting." Also, who is this mysterious Charlie? Is that really his brother? and what's the deal there? It was an interesting little twist. It doesn't look like it will turn out good for our Annie.
- and Poor Annie, girl is totally the new Kelly Taylor.
- Hate Silver's new hair, LOVE Annie's hair and general style (esp the dress above...so cute).
- This Oscar character is lame-o. Sleeping with the mom and trying to get with the daughter.
- Teddy is totally going to end up in AA by the end of this season. I'm wondering how and when they are going to turn him gay??
- The character of Jenn is super annoying as well. I hated her last season, and she definitely hasn't made any improvements.
- And on the other side of that, what is going on with Ryan? He was one of the best parts of the show last year and they haven't given us much of him yet. I hope this changes.

Next week's episode is about Adriana being crazy selfish and stealing songs from her dead musician friend and singing them at his funeral. You know this information has to come out at some point. I can't wait to see what happens.

90210 is on the CW on Mondays at 8pm EST. Head on over to their CWtv.com for more info, full episodes, pics, etc!
