90210: Oh, sure, NOW it gets awesome

Last night's 90210 season finale - which I watched, I will admit, but only because nothing was on other than Glee, which I was DVRing so I didn't have to sit through commercials - was about a million times ore exciting than the rest of the entire season. Among the awesome things that happened:

-- After Naomi gushes to Jen about Liam's family problems (inadvertently giving her sister the leverage she needs), Jen goes and seeks out Liam, makes it seem like Naomi is telling EVERYONE about his issues, then totally sexes up her little sister's boyfriend. Because she's CRAAAAZY.

-- Naomi walks in as Liam is putting on his pants (and Jen is, conveniently, in the other room) and is understandably pissed, telling him she never wants to see him again.

-- THEN Jen tells Liam that she's Naomi's sister and Liam realizes what a d-bag he is.

-- However, after finding Annie's shawl in her room with Liam, Naomi thinks that Annie slept with him and screams at her in front of the entire after-prom party! And everyone's still pissed about Annie telling her dad about the first party (which she didn't, but everyone thinks she did), so they all mock her and throw drinks on her, so Annie tells them all to screw off, storms out of the party, grabs a bottle of vodka and calls the cops on the party - HAH!

-- Dixon confronts Ethan about his feelings for Silver, and they're all up in each others' grills and it's all very homoerotic, but then Ethan's all, "Silver, you're awesome" and runs away, but then SILVER comes and finds HIM and they MAKE OUT and it's TOTALLY HOT, and Ethan points out that if she didn't have feelings for him then she would be with Dixon instead (although, to be fair, maybe Silver just wanted someone to be nice to her after Dixon started acting like a giant baby)

-- Liam goes home and, after leaving an apologetic message on Naomi's voicemail, gets FORCED TO GO TO BOOTCAMP by his jerk of a stepfather

-- And, the best part, Annie drives home drunk and crying, and SHE HITS A GUY. Awesome. But then she realizes that she has a bottle of vodka in her car and she's underage, so she just drives off. AMAZING.

Oh, yeah, and then there was all the Adrianna and Navid and baby bullcrap, but I haven't been keeping track and babies on TV are boring. Even when Shannen Dohert guest stars.

But yeah, totally awesome! What happened, writers? It's like one of you sat up during your afternoon nap and said, "Uh, guys? I think we might be in charge of a show or something." And then you all decided to pass on your after-nap nap and write an actual episode of delightful trash. Keep it up next season, guys!
