The OC 03/24/04
 

I haven't seen a thread on this yet, and since it is airing tonight, I figured that I would start one, especially since I saw it a couple of days ago :up: It is spoilered for a reason, so don't read if you don't want to know!

Did you already get to see it, since you are in Canada?

Chris

Indeed. It airs Mondays in Canada.

"The L.A.", Episode #122.



Cast: Peter Gallagher, Benjamin McKenzie, Kelly Rowan, Adam Brody, Mischa Barton, Tate Donovan.
Producer(s): Josh Schwartz, Doug Liman, McG, Dave Bartis, Bob DeLaurentis.

What did Ryan just say before they cut to the intro?

I thought it was a great episode. I liked how they were having fun with the real life behind-the-scenes activities of certain cast members. Also, the opening teaser was classic.

He said something like "it didn't even last the night" in reference to Ryan's angst-free week. :)

Thanks, Doughboy.

Good episode.

The stuff with at the end with Summer talking about the two castmates dating was funny with all the rumors about the actual cast.

The Valley stuff would be better if they made actual clips of the show instead of just the voices.

People need to stop giving Paris Hilton guest starring roles.

Good to have this show back. Solid episode tonight though I agree with Paris Hilton - enough of her already.

who was paris hilton playing? grad school-it couldn't have been herself.

Fun episode, lots of good laughs and humor, though it ended on a painful note. Did Hailey always have that big bump on her nose's profile?

I was actually hoping for Julie and Luke to get away scot free, but I guess then it woudn't be TV. Of course as soon as he knocked on the door I knew what would happen.

Still, it was a very enjoyable episode, and Hailey looked hot even coked up.

Great episode. Thought we might get another fistfight with Ryan and the bouncer, but oh well.

:up: I thought he would sneak in a shot, too, at least after Jimmy got there.

Fantastic ep - glad to see the return of Hayley. :up:

Ryan and Seth's reaction to seeing Luke/Julie at the Mermaid Inn was a great intro to the show.

Summer and Seth - entertaining as always.

Mischa Barton's acting wasn't that bad for once. She looked okay, too. BUT she still has some ways to go to catch up w/ Rachel Bilson.

Glad to see that Luke/Julie's secret was finally let out of the bag to her daughter - you knew it would happen, might as well get the whole thing over w/.

This show has a good sense of humor about. Good to see the show mock itself a little.

I liked how Seth and Summer were talking about how dating costars was a bad idea. I also liked how Ryan joked about how the guy could play a high school student. The show is so greeat becuase it makes fun of itself likie B.A. said.

Now what's up with Marissa next week? Why would she go there?

I tell you, the adult characters to me are the most fun to watch. The things they say are just hilarious.

Jimmy had a great line to the night club owner when he called him "daddy". He said something to the effect of him being a guy his age still trying to act like a 25-year-old. :up: Jimmy!

yeah, I enjoyed last night too.....missed the damn part with Paris though....ARG!

Episode #122 ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Episode 22

So that character and her fiancee could stay involved in the show - oh, you mean why in real life? got me.

BTW, it hardly seemed that Hayley was a stripper. More like a go-go dancer like you would commonly find in such Hollywood clubs.

No kidding - why couldn't they just call her a go-go dancer? That was kind of dumb...

The conversation about TV seth vs. the real Seth was great. Best part.

Julie is such a tramp. It wasn't 2 seconds after Luke breaks up with her that she's on the cell phone calling Caleb (probably for a booty call).

The self-referential stuff about the show was funny. How many other shows would satire themselves so early in their run?

I LOL'd when Summer got slotted in the "Bitch" role by default in their little gang.

worst guest stars ever. Paris Hilon is phenomenally bad

How I love this show. :) Cracks me up every week - I love the banter, esp. Seth. And you gotta love how they can poke fun at themselves so very well. Best guilty pleasure show ever.

You really didn't miss much at all. I agree that shows should stop having Paris Hilton as guest stars, well at least have her in a non-talking role. It took me a third viewing to notice the club owner was Mikey Palmice (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002326/" target="_blank">Al Sapienza</a>) from the Sopranos.

This show is just great, it just makes me feel good to watch it. I enjoyed this episode a lot. The show satiring itself was just fantastic. I don't see why everyone was so bent out of shape that Haley was working at the club. She was definitely more of a go-go dancer than a stripper.

Well maybe it was the fact that she was doing coke that might have been a problem for other people.

that was a great line, glad to see Jimmy get some balls...

Club Owner: (laughing) Who are you, DAD?

Jimmy: Who are you? Some guy my age acting like
he's still 25?

:lol: The look on the club owners face, GUILTY

also Sandy and Kirsten's dad are great together

Sandy: I couldn't have said it better, even though I
already did

:lol:

great ep, for some reason Summer cracks me up as much
as anyone

Seth: "Mom you don't look a day over perfection" :lol:


Seth to Summer: "You're the boobs"
Summer: "I'll take that"
Seth: "Me too!"

These two have such great chemistry
My favorite TV show.

Rachel Bilson is actually very appealing as Summer. Yes, Summer is supposed to be oh-so-superficial, but underneath that facade, she's actually very cool and smart, but downplays it with enough charm and panache. It's not that easy to pull off such a character and not have it seem 2-dimensional.

Bloody great episode !

I do miss the gratituous summer in her bra scenes from the early episodes

Wow Mrs Cooper looked hot in this episode

Paris Hilton thumbs down

No Oliver thumbs up :)
