LESSONS LEARNED, SEASON 1 OF OC:

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

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 6 May 2004 11:54 (twenty years ago) link

3. All the moms are hot.
4. Hailey needs a hard fuckin.

― Chris 'The Velvet Bingo' V (Chris V), Thursday, 6 May 2004 12:11 (twenty years ago) link

yes, this thread is lacking in comment on the eyebrows. where have they been all season?

― amateur!st (amateurist), Thursday, 6 May 2004 13:32 (twenty years ago) link

They should have Fox-debuted "Irish Blood, English Heart" as Seth left home to chase after Ryan.

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.)

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 6 May 2004 15:28 (twenty years ago) link

Nothing really, she swore off sex with him.

― Chris 'The Velvet Bingo' V (Chris V), Thursday, 6 May 2004 15:30 (twenty years ago) link

This episode sucked. I wanted a big, rollicking wedding smash-up!

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.

damn it. i missed last night's finale due to cinco de mayo margarita excess. sounds like a lot happened in 60 minutes. i heard something about this seth sailing away thing... what's up with that? if my boyfriend is leaving the show, then i'm going to be very unhappy.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 6 May 2004 16:03 (twenty years ago) link

that JEff Buckley rendition of Hallelujah is godsend. One of the most beautiful recordings I've ever heard. then again, I love the entire album anyway.

― uh (eetface), Thursday, 6 May 2004 16:04 (twenty years ago) link

album as in, Grace, not O.C. soundtrack :)

― uh (eetface), Thursday, 6 May 2004 16:04 (twenty years ago) link

It'll be cool when he returns all muscly and tanned and bearded and rock-eating insane and Summer's all like "muy macho" and he's like "SAY WILSON MY BEST FRIEND SOCCER BALL, WHAT SAY YE?".

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 6 May 2004 16:06 (twenty years ago) link

jeff buckley hallelujah used in this show reeks of unearned pathos

― amateur!st (amateurist), Thursday, 6 May 2004 16:10 (twenty years ago) link

they earned it pal!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 6 May 2004 16:50 (twenty years ago) link

i will die if anything happens to seth! oh, god... the thought of it makes me shudder.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:08 (twenty years ago) link

maybe he's going to become a pirate!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:10 (twenty years ago) link

I might actually watch the O.c. next season, since Angel will be no more.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:13 (twenty years ago) link

Okay, so I watched this last night and WOW did it suck gigantic moose nuts! Why is the "tough guy" the wimpiest thing on television since Wimpy? Why is his romantic interest an escaped animatronic doll from "It's A Small World After All"? Why is the "girl" he knocked up played by a 45-year-old drag queen? Why is Peter Gallagher played by a 65-year-old drag queen? Is there anyone on the show who shouldn't get beaten with bricks?

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

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:17 (twenty years ago) link

Is there anyone on the show who shouldn't get beaten with bricks?

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

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:18 (twenty years ago) link

I liked the Jem song, strangely.

TRULY OUTRAGEOUS etc etc.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:19 (twenty years ago) link

You picked the worst possible episode to watch, Dan!

― morris pavilion (samjeff), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:26 (twenty years ago) link

seriously

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:58 (twenty years ago) link

Huh. I think I've seen 1 1/2 episodes. I missed last night's because I was too busy watching the silly BEHIND FRIENDS 2-hour long episode during which I faked crying and stared at the TV as though as though I was watching it all ironicly.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 6 May 2004 18:01 (twenty years ago) link

Okay, so I watched this last night and WOW did it suck gigantic moose nuts!

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.

― Je4nne ƒury (Jeanne Fury), Thursday, 6 May 2004 18:41 (twenty years ago) link

For a second it looked like he was on a windsurfer; just how far does he plan to get on "Endless Summer."

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.

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 6 May 2004 20:22 (twenty years ago) link

Is Marissa the animatronic Fembot?

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 6 May 2004 20:46 (twenty years ago) link

Yeah, Pretty much, Dan. She is painfully skinny.

Yeah, I'm jealous.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 6 May 2004 20:48 (twenty years ago) link

I forgot to mention I'm hooked on this show. I can't believe I only started watching it now. Oh, all the wasted hours I could've been watching this!

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 6 May 2004 20:49 (twenty years ago) link

Complicating matters is that I think this show sucks.

― NA (Nick A.), Thursday, 6 May 2004 20:50 (twenty years ago) link

she has to live with mommy because stepdad threatened to ruin her father if she didn't. although with stepdad's legal problems now I don't see how he has any leverage.

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 6 May 2004 21:00 (twenty years ago) link

Watched this just once last month. The debutante ep where Marissa's dad gets punched out by Irate Money-Owed-To Guy. Thought it was mondo average, reckoned they should crossover with Dawson. Or Gilmore Girls.

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

― Barima (Barima), Thursday, 6 May 2004 21:02 (twenty years ago) link

mondo average

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

― morris pavilion (samjeff), Thursday, 6 May 2004 21:04 (twenty years ago) link

You say GG or Dawson's crossover like it was a bad thing!

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Thursday, 6 May 2004 21:09 (twenty years ago) link

Thx, morris.

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.

― Barima (Barima), Thursday, 6 May 2004 21:14 (twenty years ago) link

She was actually kind of good as the lesbian interest on Once and Again (thanks for C. for that). If I am remebering correctly, she dismayed a smidgeon of personality during her brief tenure on that show?

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 6 May 2004 21:41 (twenty years ago) link

Did I coach her on being a lesbian interest?

― Carey (Carey), Thursday, 6 May 2004 21:43 (twenty years ago) link

I believe that is what they retained you for.)

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 6 May 2004 21:47 (twenty years ago) link

fembot girl always looks sleepy in photos

i do think her face has a harsh kind of beauty though, and she has funny sharp teeth à la sarah polley

― amateur!st (amateurist), Friday, 7 May 2004 06:29 (twenty years ago) link

i love those kind of teeth! seriously

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 7 May 2004 14:42 (twenty years ago) link

ESPN.com's Bill Simmons/'The Sports Guy' bashes Friends and praises the OC on yesterday's Page 2.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Saturday, 8 May 2004 06:17 (twenty years ago) link

three months pass...

yeah, sorry, I like this.

― cºzen (Cozen), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 16:14 (nineteen years ago) link

that's because it's good.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 16:16 (nineteen years ago) link

when is it coming back? I miss my OC friends!

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 16:17 (nineteen years ago) link

so do i. i'm also missing my pals over on one tree hill.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 16:19 (nineteen years ago) link

'californ-YAAAH...'

― cºzen (Cozen), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 16:20 (nineteen years ago) link

is it still unsafe to say that i think the skinny girl is hot?

― amateur!!st, Wednesday, 25 August 2004 16:21 (nineteen years ago) link

Bring back the wrath of Julie Cooper!!

― Je4nne ƒury (Jeanne Fury), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 16:22 (nineteen years ago) link

is it still unsafe to say that i think the skinny girl is hot?

ew yes

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 16:22 (nineteen years ago) link

I've been thinking about this show lately, too... come back, "OC"!

― morris pavilion (samjeff), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 16:23 (nineteen years ago) link

who sings that theme song?

― cºzen (Cozen), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 16:23 (nineteen years ago) link

ew yes

-- kyle (akmonda...), August 25th, 2004.

(slinks back to "white girls with fat asses" thread...)

― amateur!!st, Wednesday, 25 August 2004 16:23 (nineteen years ago) link

I got all verklempt
when I saw the ad where they're
all in formal wear

I can see this show
dealing with some deep dark things...
then again, no way

(phantom planet, from their first record, theme-wise)
