Sure, it has high school boys sleeping with their ex-girlfriend's mom and every other plot line you'd expect from 90210-meets-Dawson's Creek on crack, but tonight's episode also featured one of the Hilton sisters (I never can remember which is which) claiming to work on a thesis on magical realism in literature and stating that Gravity's Rainbow is Thomas Pynchon's masterpiece! Brilliant!
