"The O.C.": C/D

oh you're talking about luke? apparently he left because he wanted more money!

I like how Ryan reverted to his Chino uniform (wifebeater, shitty jacket) when he moved out.

I already had to restrain myself from buying the first season of Gilmore Girls today

I do not think one single girl on this show is good looking, but it doesn't matter because my heart spends each episode having a rowdy punch-up with itself over whether it prefers Ryan or Seth. I think Seth clinches it at the moment. ROWR. Sparrow shoulders should run off with lantern jaw and good riddance to them, I say.

Fans of Camera Obscura might like to listen out for one of their songs, which I hear will be used in an episode some time soon.

Does Seth really intend to sail to Tahiti on a catamaran? They'll probably spin off the show into Castaway 2. Seth and Captain Oats get stuck on a island and eat Death Cab cd's for 2 years.

1. Jeff Buckley's version of "Hallelujah" is the best song ever.
2. Peter Gallagher's eyebrows are cool.

Mom was doing some serious crying--I felt moved.

Props for shadowing Dawson's Creek, but they can't top Season's 3 climactic Pacey/Joey boat trip.

What happened between Seth and Summer? (I haven't watched for a while.)

I liked the Jem song, strangely.

I'm finding the adults much, MUCH more interesting than the kids at this point. I hope the next season is mainly about them.

I am never watching this again (until the reruns start).

On that front, the depiction of many OC people is refreshingly realistic.

TRULY OUTRAGEOUS etc etc.

For reals. What a gross let-down. And the end scene of Seth Cohen sailing away on his dinghy into the sunset??? What the fuck? It was Dynasty bad.

And he really dissed Summer when he told her that she wouldn't be enough for him if farmboy wasn't around. She was trying to be supportive, "we'll get through this," and he was all, "I just need to be alone right now."

It will serve him right if they go DC style and she takes up photography when he's gone and makes a new life for herself with the ones who were left behind.

Why does Marissa have to live with Mommie now? She actually looked a tiny but closer to normal last episode--I think it was the low shoes and dorky cropped pants they had on her.

Yeah, I'm jealous.

The worst part is Mischa helped make Lawn Dogs one of my most cherished movies of the last decade. But this is not right.

That's actually a very good description of The OC.

I like Lorelei, but GG committed the heinous sin of hiring professional teenage twunt, Milo Ventimigliavenus or whatever it is. As for DC, I still only treasure Dawson and Jen.
