Are you allowed to say "puss" on national network TV?
The episode opens with our new Brenda and Brandon (Annie and Dixon) in the back seat of a car, presumably on their way to Beverly Hills from Kansas. Several scenes later, it is revealed that Dixon was adopted. This is a highly unlikely and unbelievable hodge podge of a family.
Next, we meet the matriarch of the family, who is drinking a Long Island Iced Tea at 10 am. She is acting completely sober, and after some good-natured ribbing from her son (Annie and Dixon's father), she continues to drink unabated.
The next day, Annie and Dixon head out to their new world-West Beverly High, where every single student drives a $500,000 car to school. Annie soon catches some dude named Ethan getting it on with a random in his truck. Annie knows this guy somehow. We later discover that they met two summers ago or something.
Our first in-class scene shows the incredibly unlikeable Mr. Matthews. He has a snarky comment for everyone. Students come and go when they please, and some unfunny student pulls the old fake cough-make gonnorhea comment under-his-breath routine.
Mr. Matthews continues to make highly inappropriate comments to students, which would get him fired and thrown in prison in the real world. There is however, a clever "what is she, 30"? nod to Andrea during the showing of the Beverly Blaze news program. By the way, what is 90210's obsession with media? Students love working for the school newspaper and the Blaze. Why is this?
Outside West Beverly, we are treated to a drug deal. An aggresive surfer dude offers Adrianna a carved out book with vividly colored pills inside. Is this a random assortment of Tropical Mike + Ike candy? Could be, but the price is high, and Adrianna soon starts a life of crime, Valerie-style.
JACKPOT-A JOE E. TATA SIGHTING!!! Wait-he gets approximately 4 seconds of screen time in the first hour. Shouldn't he have learned to operate a cappuccino machine before opening a coffee shop?
Lacrosse tryouts! Looks like our Dixon is a natural. Those snapshots and extreme slo-mo scenes were excellent. Also, he makes the team after a 9 second tryout. This is followed by a hard-to-comprehend fight scene. Dixon somehow gets kicked off the team at first, followed by some soul searching, lies, and getting put back onto the team.

Mr. Matthews is EVERYWHERE. Go away already.
Nothing much of note happens for the rest of hour one, except I may be in love with Silver and her bad attitude. Although 500,000 views for her blog. Really? Part 2 coming soon.

DVR'd for tonight. Can't wait. Do they play lax in Kansas? Or Beverly Hills for that matter?
I still have to watch the 2nd hour myself. No. Lacrosse is essentially only played in the northeast and mid atlantic, so I'm not sure how that kid got his mad skillz.
Best scene ever is when the goth chick had the computer puppet show with that guy kept chirping "I like lacrosse, I like lacrosse" Missed Tata.
Knocked it out tonight. Wanted to keep a running diary, Sports Guy style. So much good stuff. Very first scene, I loved how the minivan was so dirty and dusty. Probably hit a dust storm in the desert. Mr. Matthews is way over the top on the inappropriate scale. So much sarcasm and so little teaching. Dixon's buddy with the camera was the one getting on my nerves. Wasn't the pig joke really on him since they had to have taken mega dumps in the back on the car? Estes brought back the magic from Silk Stalkings. There isn't one reason anyone would rather live in Kansas than Beverly Hills. This George guy looks like trouble. I like his style. So much information. It's a keeper.
George-I thought about doing a running diary for the State game, but it seems like alot of extra effort. I agree-those hogs deficated for hours in the back of his truck. Totally not worth it.
