fez got aids, dark foreboding like the swastikas at the end of "cabaret"

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 19 May 2006 16:21 (eighteen years ago) link

oh it wasnt a gun bang or anything. eric came back and it was nye 1979. the end was shot from the empty basement and you could hear them c ounting down to midnight. 3...2..1...BANG. that was the trunk getting slammed on the vista cruiser, i guess, because the number plate is taking up the whole screen and THE REGISTRATION YEAR IS '80' OMG.
Anyway, that bang was really unsettling for some reason.

fez is doing jackie. first mistake of the 80s.

Did Mischa Barton want off the show? If not, I have a sneaking suspicion that she undie in the fall to rise Buffylike from the ashes.

I don't love Marissa but she's easy on the eye--there's no reason they had to kill her. Unless she is to difficult/costly to maintain.

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 19 May 2006 17:26 (eighteen years ago) link

i think they've been trying to get rid of her since the first season!

OTM!

"Did Mischa Barton want off the show?"

I can't think of any other scenario. She's the most high profile/popular actor on the show, why would they want to get rid of her?

I hate them for killing her. Why couldn't she just go to Greece to be with her dad? :( I'm seriously annoyed with this! Everything this show does have to be over the top. But...this was actually one of the few episodes where Mischa Barton's performance didn't suck. Atleast I think so...

― Lovelace (Lovelace), Friday, 19 May 2006 18:28 (eighteen years ago) link

Her little sister manages the feat of being far more annoying than she is.

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 19 May 2006 18:34 (eighteen years ago) link

im with lovelace on this

― sunny successor (katharine), Friday, 19 May 2006 18:55 (eighteen years ago) link

okay, watched it just now. yeah, i too wonder why they had to kill her off? i can't see any reason for it within the show itself anyway. i felt the most for ryan, who was just getting back in the business of being confident and awesome. rrgh. he's totally not going to berkeley right away now. and prob summer will also defer for a year at least. way to keep the show going guys... BUT i'm looking forward to marissa's sister being a big huge teenage biatch!!

Did Mischa Barton want off the show?

More to the point, I think the show wanted her off. Barton has been somewhat vocal about wanting to be off the show to do other things and I think everyone involved was just tired of the whole thing. c.f. Shannon Doherty and 90210.

As I was watching last night's episode I was wondering how they were going to get rid of her until the "oh, duh" realization about the Land Cruiser. As it was run off the road, I was "OK, this is how they're going to get rid of her" and then when it caught on fire I though "wow, they REALLY want to get rid of her."

― LOL Thomas (Chris Barrus), Friday, 19 May 2006 21:03 (eighteen years ago) link

her character was incredibly unpopular and dull. no loss

Completely OTM. Whenever she was on-screen it felt like someone tied a boat anchor to the show and threw it over a bridge.

― LOL Thomas (Chris Barrus), Friday, 19 May 2006 21:23 (eighteen years ago) link

her boring storylines and generally unbearable character were the main reason i basically quit watching the show all season. I don't know why they didn't just turn her evil like her mom was (looks like they'll do that with her sister), she would have been more interesting.

Redemption before (her) death DO YOU SEE

― Rickey Wright (Rrrickey), Friday, 19 May 2006 21:56 (eighteen years ago) link

this thread is about 1000000x more entertaining than the show.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 19 May 2006 23:24 (eighteen years ago) link

i love how the season finale/marisa's death-o has brought out all the closet O.C. watchers of ilx. i knew it!

please let next season be all DIABOLICAL and overthetop please.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Saturday, 20 May 2006 01:02 (eighteen years ago) link

i used to be a very UN-closeted OC watcher but honestly i haven't kept up since it got all lame in season 2 when they introduced "lindsay" and electroclash girl!!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Saturday, 20 May 2006 01:25 (eighteen years ago) link

Season 3 would make you pine for the glory days of electroclash girl.

― milo z (mlp), Saturday, 20 May 2006 01:26 (eighteen years ago) link

this show rules you fuckers! you probably hated 90210 too!

(i mean "clearly!" as in you were UNcloseted. but it also works as an agreement to yr point.)

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Saturday, 20 May 2006 01:36 (eighteen years ago) link

i'm not a closet watcher; it was my first time

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Saturday, 20 May 2006 01:43 (eighteen years ago) link

three weeks pass...

i bought season one and two on ebay last week. Ive only watched 5 episodes but heres what i have noticed so far:

trey is played by a different actor in the first scene (than in the second season). hes blonde and rough looking.

caitlin is about 10 years old.

julie is really critical about marissa's appearance. 'wear this dress. its much more forgiving' 'i thought we agreed you would wear your hair down. it softens your angles (??)'

mischa barton is cute as all get out in the early episodes. all golden brown hair and a whole lot of freckles. adorable!

summer? nowhere near as cute as she is now.

they seemed to be trying to create some hip youth phases since some weird one keep getting repeated 'i didnt mean to salt your game' and 'hes mad dogging me!' wtf?

sandy is a much more appealing character in the early episodes. sarcastic in a happy way. caleb is fun too.

― sunny successor (katharine), Monday, 12 June 2006 13:48 (seventeen years ago) link

also, a whole lot of cocaine.

― sunny successor (katharine), Monday, 12 June 2006 13:53 (seventeen years ago) link

season 1 is still great.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 12 June 2006 14:57 (seventeen years ago) link

aye

― jeffrey (johnson), Monday, 12 June 2006 18:53 (seventeen years ago) link

I put it in my Netflix queue last week, still waiting for the first discs to arrive. Part of the cuteness discrepancy is lighting. Summer and Julie were semi-villains for the first half of the season, I guess, so they get bad lighting. You left out the best part of S1 - Anna.

Watched the second season from BitTorrent, up until the last ten episodes it really wasn't bad. The lesbian love triangle was better than I remembered, or maybe the third season was just terrible.

― milo z (mlp), Monday, 12 June 2006 19:57 (seventeen years ago) link

i dont know. anna is little too easy for my liking. no personality conflict at all.

― sunny successor (katharine), Monday, 12 June 2006 20:09 (seventeen years ago) link

now, in a way, all i want to do for the next few days is watch world cup during the day and season 1 of the o.c. at night.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Monday, 12 June 2006 22:43 (seventeen years ago) link

do it.

― jeffrey (johnson), Monday, 12 June 2006 22:45 (seventeen years ago) link

ALSO, lots of scenes with ryan and seth biking and skateboarding the pier with big smiles on their faces and adoring glances at each other. i almost expect the theme from 'courtship of eddies father' to kick in.

rrrobyn - do it

― sunny successor (katharine), Tuesday, 13 June 2006 12:31 (seventeen years ago) link

i am going to do it except swap watching the world cup part for lying around and playing videogames.

― jeffrey (johnson), Tuesday, 13 June 2006 21:35 (seventeen years ago) link

first marissa-less OC promo shot?

Heh, it's embarrassing that I know this, but that's an old shot: my sister had a poster of the four "teens" in that exact same pose, with Marissa to Ryan's left. Looks like they edited her out and slapped the adults next to Ryan. Produces a weird effect; they all look so nonchalant about the death of one of their own!

they're in shock you heartless monster

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 15 June 2006 02:03 (seventeen years ago) link

your 'sister'. riiiight.

i had no idea julie was so tall. maybe sandy and kirsten are just teenytiny.
