90210 S3E2

i'm not sure where to even begin with this. this show is officially dead to me. i can't watch anymore. it's gotten way out of hand. for example, the season premiere was overloaded with events. rape, fatal car wreck, earthquake, divorce. and that was all within the first 20 minutes of the season premiere. where can they go from here? only down. they proved that this week. from underage drinking to an excessive party for an 18 year old with everything presented with her face on it. "naomi temporary tattoos and even some naomi permanent tattoos for a few lucky raffle winners." there's something weird about seeing shirtless waiters donning naomi bicep tattoos at a high schooler's birthday party. and there's a line being crossed when 17 year old boys are taking body shots off of a 25 year old 'bachelorette' at the local bar. it's just too much to believe and too much to take. it's a sad portrayal of reality. don't even get me started on the relationship between mr. cannon (yearbook teacher) and silver (student). now, i know this somehow happens a lot these days. students and teachers cross the appropriate line everyday. but do the 17 year old students do so while wearing short, skimpy dresses that barely cover all the essentials?

what not to wear:

see how her left breast is about to be exposed. this is not ideal when going to spend time with your teacher.

here is the biggest point that should be made about 90210 and CW in general: they bite off more than they can chew. producers create these elaborate schemes and then fail to execute. example:

• annie kills a homeless man while driving drunk after a party. then she leaves the scene. she struggles with this secret the WHOLE second season. in the season finale, she tells her parents. fast forward to season 3 and we know she did the time for her crime, but the whole situation is over. nothing more of it. how does something that becomes the main conflict in one season become so unimportant and trivial in the next? 
• another perfect example: adrianna's baby in season 1. she was pregnant the whole season. she had the baby. then what? 
• one tree hill struggles with this too. CW just sucks at closure. and CW shows are becoming more and more painful to watch. 

don't be surprised if i never blog about 90210 again. notice, i didn't even have a spoilers section because i seriously don't think anyone cares enough. i know i don't. i apologize to myself and the whole world for even watching this show ever. 

END.

One Tree Hill S8E2

one tree hill is on my list of guilty pleasure shows, but seriously, i don't know why it's not bigger. i have been with one tree hill since the very first episode. i have laughed, cried, and yelled with them. there was a season there where i didn't think i could continue this relationship. season 5, i believe it was. between the crazy babysitter and the random baby brooke fostered, it was a weird season. however, when you've been with something for 5+ years, it's hard to end it. am i glad i stayed? yes and no.
yes, i do still enjoy the shows. i like most of the characters.
no, i believe that the producers have just about exhausted every stop out there. tree hill hospital gets a lot of traffic from haley, nathan, brooke, and the rest of the gang. but i'm still holding my breath, like most of you one tree hill fans are, for peyton and lucas to make an exciting re-entry. even if it is just for a couple of episodes, i still believe it will happen, especially this season (see spoilers).
i know this blog was not born until after i watched the first episode of this season's one tree hill. for that i apologize. (i'm gonna be doing that with a lot of good shows) but i will catch you up. it's time for:

what lisa watched:
so in season 7, clay and quinn were two major characters introduced because peyton and lucas left the show. these were quite large shoes to fill. the jury is still out on whether clay and quinn succeeded. but anyways, they had an enemy as does everyone in the show. their enemy just happened to be a little crazy and wielded a gun in the season 7 finale. katy, a perfect doppelganger of clay's late wife, became obsessed with clay when she realized she could steal him away from quinn by imitating his first wife. when clay didn't end up being as gullible as katy would have hoped, she did the only logical thing and snuck into their house late at night. she then proceeded to firmly stand, confidence blazing, and shoot quinn and clay as they walked into the room.

so ends season 7. 

so after many, many months of not knowing what would happen to clay and quinn (the suspense was killing me), season 8 begins with clay dreaming. perfect! we go the whole season premiere thinking clay just dreamed the whole thing. only in the end of the episode do we find out that they were both dreaming up this perfect in-between world while being stuck in a coma. OTH producers have always been clever with these kind of devices (i.e. dream states, flashbacks, flash forwards, etc.)
