Question
QUESTION: i was wondering where i can watch "home again." everywhere i go, they have all the other episodes in season one to watch, but not this one. why?

ANSWER: Hello Kayla,

I don't know why that episode would be hard to find. Maybe some sites just have not gotten around to uploading it yet. But, I did find one site that had it courtesy of a viewer that provided it.

You can find that episode on this fan message board: http://90210fans.proboards84.com/index.cgi

However, you have to be a member of the board to view the thread that has the episode though. From there, it's a download link.

Hope this helps,
Crystal

QUESTION: how do u become a member of the  board? what is a member of the fan board? what's a fan board? what's a thread? a link?

ANSWER: I hope you can follow along, it's harder to explain this than I thought it would be.

A fan board is where fans of something (this case 90210) talk about it with other fans. We discuss the actors, storylines, characters, and so on. A member would any of the people there on the message board discussing the topic and you once you're registered.

To become a member of the 90210 fan board, you would go to the website of the 90210 fan board. At the top of the page you will see the greeting "Welcome Guest. Please Login or Register." Click where it says "Register" (this is an example of a link), that will bring you to the registration page. OR you can go to the bottom of the main page and click where it says "create a new account". Fill in all the information to create your account which will include a username and password. After that, you will probably have to activate your account by email (I can't really remember, I've been a member that long).

To "login" you would go to the website, you have two ways to "login": Click on the "login" at the top of the page and it will take you to a login page OR go to the bottom of the main page. Enter your username and password in the appropriate boxes and click the "Login" button.

A thread is each individual topic in each section or subsection. A link would be anytime you move the mouse cursor over a word or phrase and you have the option of going to another section of the board or downloading something from another website.   

The episode you're looking for is in the 90210 Multimedia section. From there, it's in the thread titled "The Complete 90210 Episodes Archive". Then you would look for the episode 'Home Again' which has 2 links (labeled link 1 & link 2). To download the episode you would click on the links and follow the prompts.

I wish you good luck in getting that one episode. If you have any problems, I'll do my best to help you out.

Take care,
Crystal

QUESTION: if i download the episode, will i get a virus on my comeputer? does the video come with a hidden virus? cuz our computer has been crashing lately, and i don't want to destroy the computer. is there anywhere i can watch it where i dont have to download it onto my computer?

Answer
That's the only place I know that has it available in any form online at this current time. I don't know if you'll risk getting a virus from downloading the episode. I can understand your fear in getting a virus though. You will most likely be safe if you have antivirus software on your computer. That way when you go to download, it will give you a warning if it detects a virus. If your antivirus doesn't work that way, you can scan the file after download with the antivirus software to make sure it's virus free.

My only other suggestion I have at this time would be to find a video store that has the 90210 season sets and rent the disc that has that episode on it. Only problem with that option is that the episode's music has been changed and may have cut scenes as well.

From there, if you have the Soapnet cable/satellite channel, you can always wait to see that episode when it comes back around.

Take care,
Crystal
