90210 is back!?

After waiting over a month to see what has changed in Beverly Hills I was both pleasantly and unpleasantly surprised by the anticipated mid season premiere that aired a couple hours ago.

Favorite story lines: Navid and Silver, and Silver/Naomi/Mr.Cannon.

Will start with Navid and Silver. After ending the last episode before break with a kiss I was hoping something more would come out of that storyline. I am happy to say it has, it is a mutual decision that they will continue to see each other (hidden to start) until Ade is over her relationship with Navid, which they guessed would last a month. Of course, as 90210 always does that will not be as easy as they thought, but I look forward to whats coming with those two.

The most anticipated part of the last episode of 90210 besides Liem and Annie was Mr.Cannon being back in the picture. The last episode ends with Mr.Cannon hiding in Naomi's apartment after she just finished telling Oscar not to come over (of course). So this mid season premiere episode started with Naomi undressing and changing into sweats to find Mr.Cannon behind her with a knife. To be honest this reminded me alot of One Tree Hill the stalker episode but I guess CW shows have to stick together. Anyways, Mr.Cannon after tieing Naomi to a chair tells her to call Silver and invite her over, which Naomi refused and Mr.Cannon proceeded to text her. Silver shows up oblivious to what she had just arrived for. Mr.Cannon ends up making the two of them (with hands tied behind their backs) explain that Naomi was never raped and Mr.Cannon was wrongly accused on camera to clear his name. After that Mr.Cannon asks Naomi for her trust fund. Naomi lets him know that's not possible in less she goes to the bank in person. The next morning they started getting ready to leave when Naomi explains that she has to do her make up to make it look real. Naomi then uses her hairspray as a weapon spraying Mr.Cannon while Silver hits him with a flower pot. The storyline ends with Naomi getting convinced not to take Mr.Cannon's life by Silver, and Mr.Cannon getting taken away by the cops. Overall with just a slite comparison to a similar CW show this storyline was done pretty beautifully.

While I liked these story lines I did not enjoy Liem and Annie's, because yet again their is something in their way of finally starting a relationship. This time its not Annie but Liem, and its because of his brother Charlie. After them ending the last episode sharing their feelings I thought the best for their relationship, but of course their has to be another hurdle. Frustrating.

I also don't like the new addition of Annie's cousin. Can't say I am looking forward to that storyline. Just another stalker situation. Been there. Done that.

I don't know how I feel about the Ivy and Dixon storyline. I would love for them to get back together, and tonight made it seem like that's somewhat possible. While this seems somewhat like its going in the right direction I can't say I am happy that Ivy may not enjoy surfing anymore because of one bad fall.

Finally, Teddy and Ian. Or I guess Teddy and Dixon. I felt that Dixon was a little hard on Teddy knowing that Teddy is already feeling badly. While he was hard on him, it did make it seem realistic being that I often forget this is a show about high schoolers. I just hope that Teddy comes out and finally feels comfortable with himself.

OOH and Ade..I actually don't really care.

Being that I had anticipated some other types of story lines I was not as happy as I would like to be with this mid season premiere. I hope that next week will prove me wrong and remind me why I love this show so much.
