       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.

       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.
