Welcome to our weekly re-watch discussion board! Today we'll be discussing the fourth episode of Season 4:

Let The Games Begin

Original Air Date: Oct 3, 2011

Naomi plots revenge to take down rival Holly and her sorority during the Greek games, which requires Austin's help, much to Naomi's dismay. Silver directs a disastrous commercial for Liam's bar, while Ivy feels torn between her relationship and her friends.

How is it that Dixon made the surf team?
Had they not just moved to Beverly Hills from Kansas?

I just came across this edit made by @innthe90210, and it reminded me of what a completely different character Silver was in the first season. She wasn’t perfect, but she was complex, had flaws, and had relatability, and she also didn’t take herself too seriously, a character trait that was completely taken away from her after the first season. From season two onwards she became so sanctimonious and holier than though it made her unenjoyable to watch. Although it got even worse in the third season, her style change wasn’t awful, but I wish they kept her style identity from the first season and polished it a little although the visuals of season one were jarring and the show drastically improved aesthetically in season two there should have been more of an effort to differentiate silver a little from the other characters personally I would have styled her in a way to show Naomi’s influence after they reconciled their friendship but with darker elements and in a more artistic way. It would’ve been great if Silver retained that snarky, sarcastic personality she had whilst also going through character development, and the show completely dropped the ball on her relationship with Dixon when they should’ve been one of the main couples, at least in the second season or the fourth season onwards. It was like the writers went above and beyond to make her as insufferable as possible and never hold her accountable.

Welcome to our weekly re-watch discussion board! Today we'll be discussing the third episode of Season 4:

Greek Tragedy

Original Air Date: Sep 26, 2011

After making an enemy in sorority president Holly, Naomi finds unusual allies who help her get revenge. Annie, short on money for sorority dues, must figure out a quick way to come up with the cash; Navid must deal with his uncle coming into town and trying to undermine Shirazi Studios.

Just a reminder that the soundtrack for Seasons 2-5 has been replaced on Prime Video and The CW App due to licensing issues. I highly recommend watching the series with the original music, as it makes a huge difference and completely changes the feel of many scenes.
