5.0 out of 5 stars As good as ever :-), May 3, 2008

This review is from: Beverly Hills, 90210 - The Fifth Season (DVD)

This is a fantastic season. With Brenda gone, having decided to stay in England, we meet Valerie who is a friend of the Walsh's from Buffalo and turns out to be a backstabbing and manipulative girl who is into drugs and alcohol. Kelly is with Brandon by now, Donna and David have split, Brandon becomes the new student body president of CU, Kelly is almost burned alive at a party, David dates Clare, Dylan goes to rehab, Donna dates Ray, Andrea has an affair and cheats on Jesse, Kelly makes the cover of Seventeen magazine, there is a stupid episode with Dylan going into hypnosis and finding out he was Billy McCoy in the Wild West, and Jim and Cindy put their house on the market to move to Hong Kong.
This is season 5 in a nutshell. There is so much material in between and the drama of it all is as addictive as always. I love to hate Valerie, hate seeing Donna and David apart and I cannot wait for this release. It's excellent and all fans of 90210 should be happy with this season.

For me this is one of the best seasons of the series, Brenda is gone and Valerie has replaced her, Dylan is diving seriously into addiction, Brandon and Kelly begin a relatioship that lasts several seasons to come....

Plenty of drama........

3.0 out of 5 stars Deceived!, November 2, 2008

This review is from: Beverly Hills, 90210 - The Fifth Season (DVD)

Where do I start with the bad? Setting aside the cheap and dismissive packaging for a moment, I begin with the hack-job they did on the show itself. Not only is the soundtrack COMPLETELY different (and it does suck), but any footage of Ray Pruit playing with his band has been cut out. That leaves us with about 2 rousing performances, including Ray singing, "the Worms Crawl In, the Worms Crawl Out..." to a bunch of kids at the KEG house Halloween party. Looks like David really had some pull in post production and got Ray completely taken off the PPAD roster for good. Now onto the soundtrack...you know, the music that plays in the background during the show? After watching the same episodes for years, I have come to memorize and appreciate certain scenes for their appropriately chosen musical accompaniments. Well, they're gone now. 2 notable disappointments: Episode 1: Kelly & Donna at the salon before the make up. The song should be The Pretenders, "It's Just the Night in My Veins." Now it's something else that wrong & crappy. And the other is the episode where David, Donna & Clare do the video with everyone sleeping around campus. Should be L7's "Pretend We're Dead", which actually suits the video, but no...

Why then 3 stars? Because, this is still one of the best seasons out there (second only to season 6.) The fire, the PPAD is born, Kelly joins a cult, Dylan does heroin and almost dies, then goes to Mexico and swindles his millions back from Kevin & Suzanne, in a word- Val, the "Real Life" episode, the great bear heist, and finally, the Walshes and Andrea leave (thank God!)

The bottom line? Buy at your own risk. The soul has been sucked from this show but it's still season 5 of 90210 (sort of.)
