SUCK. Jessica Walter leaving.

This super sucks. All the characters I love the best (ok, the only characters I can tolerate without wigging out in sucky-acting induced rage) are disappearing. First Shannen Doherty leaves and then will only come back for 2 episodes, and now Jessica Walter, the incomparable Tabitha, has not renewed her contract and will be appearing only sporadically.

This probably isn’t a secret trick to start a spinoff starring Brenda and Tabitha as drunk bitches on the run, right? Because that would RULE.

Wishlist for tonight

More Pillface. Lots of Pillface. Pillface on scheming rampage of evil and lies. Less redeeming of Pillface by having her mother put unbearable pressure on her. Pillface for Pillface’s sake!

Dixon has some room to do something bad, too. He’s working, doing tech for the school musical, playing lacrosse, getting good grades, and worrying about his parents. What if he, like, punched someone in the face?

Naomi should be either bitchy or invisible.

Tabitha should be slightly drunk and tell embarassing stories about her past in an effort to get the kids to understand how things really are. I will permit an embarassed reaction shot from Mama and Papa, but that should be the extent of their involvement in this episode. Ideally, Tabitha would get sloshed and help Pillface enact some scheming evil plan.

Annie should be so sad about what happened with Ty that she just takes the whole week off and doesn’t show up at all.

And maybe, just for old times sake, Brenda and Kelly could fight over a guy? Or two??

Here is some awesome

Here is the total best thing about last week’s episode: Jessica Walter as Tabitha conducting a rehearsal of the spring play. She is amazing.

Potential spoiler

Behind the cut.

90210 ep 4: The Bubble

In this episode: Dylan is the daddy; Brenda looks great; Jessica Walter out-acts everyone; and the children make halting progress in their relationships.
