Dixon hasn't bothered me as much this season. The more annoying
characters have been Ivy and Navid's sister. Ivy can be
improved, but Navid's sister needs to meet a tragic end as she
takes a corner on Mulholland Drive too fast, and tumbles to her
death. If her vehicle happens to crash on top of Dixon, I
wouldn't be sad.

Party Politics

This was a really weird, even dumb episode. Not because of any
of the characters or the actors, but because of the writing. I
really don't think any of the writers on the show have a clue in
how to set up, pace and conclude story arcs. Case in point....
1. Right when they set up the whole Laim and the "Widow" arc,
they have Jim pop up. Punches are thrown and then they make up
all is well. This was started and wrapped up in 3 episodes. What
was the point of this? They had their own "Fatal Attraction" arc
set up nicely and then.....
2. They reintroduce Teddy and his Barcelona love interest in the
form of Shane right from the start of this episode and the
writers expect us to care that Teddy has thrown down the
gauntlet of Family over Lover and that it's gonna mean anything
to us? We (I) could care less that they are kept apart because
we never saw any of their past history together. There is no
connection. That's lazy writing on their part if they can't even
be bothered to set up the past for those that watch the show.
3. No Politician is ever going to attend a Strip The Vote
benefit, no matter how desperate they are for votes. Something
like this would sink a political career pretty fast, especially
when News camera's catch it all on tape and then spin the story
however they see fit.
4. Dixon is "blowin' up". Yeah, right. I'm buying that. Not.
The writers on this show have consistently been bad. Is there
even a show runner that bothers to even plot this stuff out
longer than a couple of episodes? Overall this was a pretty weak
episode.

Better than last weeks, but only by a slim margin. I'm losing
interest here. There's is nothing remotely entertaining this
season and I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that they
got rid of actors that at least brought something different to
the table.
Annie, the "h00ker" with a heart of gold. Yaaaaaaawn. Boring.
Navid turns himself in to the cops. Predictable. Naomi is
shallow. What's new? Dixon, er...Tristan Wilds can't pull off
the idea of being on drugs. Bad actor. Did he ever actually
study the craft of acting or is he just winging it?
:::sigh:::
Somebody shoot Leila already!

Tristan Wilds did a good job on The Wire. I think it's just a
terrible character/script for him to work with, which goes back
to your main complaint. I am wondering if there is a new team
of writers on this show, because the season does seem
disjointed. I think everyone involved is probably seeing the
writing on the wall for cancellation, and they are just throwing
stuff on the wall to see what sticks. If it doesn't, then they
just move on and neatly (or not so neatly) close out the story.

A whole lot of nothing happened. I just watched the episode and
I can't remember much of it. I know there was a party. Um, Dixon
and Adrianna were in hand cuffs. Annie put her foot down about
being treated like a h00ker. And Silver was on a Truth crusade.
Um....can't think of anything else. Oh, Perez Hilton made a
cameo which automatically dropped the rating down 2 stars. Ray
Wise made a cameo as the schools dean and promptly added 2 stars
to the rating. All in all, a very blah episode.

I'm a sucker for TV Shows and Movies in Vegas and this one was
particularly good...for the most part. But there is definitely a
head scratching moment. How did Dixon go from ADD medicine to
Coke? Is there something that I missed? That's a pretty big
leap. Also, I don't find it believable that Adrianna is going to
show up in the nick of time to stop Dixon from falling off the
wagon and then immediately jump into bed with him. What? No
serious talk about throwing his life away on doing drugs? No "I
trusted you and you lied to me" response? Nothing? I will give
Ade props for putting Annie in her place and standing her
ground, which is something Annie doesn't have a clue about
doing.
Annie as usual is a doormat. She sees that her boyfriend Patrick
is cheating on her and does nothing. But her accepting his call
at the end tells me she has something humiliating planned. So,
there is still hope for her that she can finally stand up for
herself.
Teddy gets married. Couldn't have been more boring. It wasn't
until Silver accidentally sends the video to her Boss, who just
happens to be running for Public Office and is the employer of
Teddy's new hubby. Should be awesome when everything hits the
fan. Carnage!!!!
Billy Ray Cyrus cameo as Austin's "Country Music Legend" father
was interesting. I really don't get why Naomi has such low self
esteem to continually be chasing after dudes that treat her like
sh*t. Since she is the most shallow person on the show, part of
me is filled with glee that she brings this on her self.
