Hope is good as last week's episode.

Too bad Jimmy's is gone. I liked him.

For some reason, I thought that I remember an interview with him that said that he was under contract for another season or two. So I suppose that this would then be a temporary leave.

No discussions?

Aww... what a sweet wrapup, though a bit predictable, still nice and touching, especially when you contrast it with the Nickels.

I did notice they are really sexing up Lindsay, enjoyed the addition of the plunging neckline in her wardrobe nowadays.

Alex is a good seed with a tough gal exterior. Seth doesn't deserve her.

Seeing Summer so out of her depth, and then go into research mode shows some untapped potential.

Sandy sang pretty good for a lawyer.

I loved it when Summer got a taste of what it was like to be Seth when he met her father last season.

Still digging the addition of Lindsey. Don't really care one way or the other about Alex. Glad to see that the yard-boy is gone (I hope). Why couldn't he take Marissa w/ him (permanently)?

Mischa is really the one person on the show that screws up the chemistry/flow of the show. The dialoque spews from her mouth awkwardly just about every time. No one else on the show has that problem.

Peter Gallagher's eyebrows have a life of their own!!!

I am 50/50 as to whether or not that was Gallagher actually singing.

Alex and Marissa in the same place, yet no hookup yet. I really wish they didn't have to 'ease' her into the bisexual role in next week's ep--it would be SO much cooler if it just 'happened.'

She's way too hot for that role, but I love watching her anyway.

Overall, a def. improvement over the week before.

It was him - he was actually in the original Broadway production of Grease back in the '70s.

He said in an interview last fall that he would do some singing this season.

Gallagher's voice sounds like another gravelly singer, but I can't quite put a name to the voice.

Again the rule is you put spoiler tags around things that haven't aired, even if you saw them in the preview.

Damn - Lindsay has some fantastic tatas.


I'm not complaining that she is on the show either, but I tend to agree.

Show was ok...but a little too Brady Bunch at the end with them all holding hands.

Especially with the huge amount of purple eye makeup that they put on her.

Good show. I liked the cheesy ending. Having the cops as the babysitters was a nice touch.

Wow I'm suprised that nothing dramatic happened during the party at the end, usually there's a fight or something

Lawn boy needed to take the money. Marissa didn't need that check to "have a shopping spree on mom". I can't believe she actually took it back. They both suck and probably deserve each other

Judging by the brand new truck lawn boy was driving, he sure didn't look like
he needed money.

I can't blame Ryan for wanting to be with Lindsay, she's got nice intangibles and tangibles.

I thought about that, but figured it was probably a company vehicle, but in any event, with Marissa's step dad being the richest man in the town, I'm sure he could have put it to more use.

Couldn't they replace Marissa with Lindsey? That would be fantastic.

TK

Just to chime in, he was in that early 80's movie, Summer Lovers too which was pretty racy for it's time. We cant forget Sex Lies and Videotape too.

This may come from left field...

But was Summer upset that Seth had sex -BEFORE- she did?

As in she is a virgin? I thought that she and Seth had sex more than once?

Are we to beleive that other that Ryan they are all pure and wholesome?

I have a real problem with this show. Before moving to Los Angeles to live with my wife. I grew up in posh Newport Beach(where this show takes place). Its pretty sad that the show, which is so superficial in nature, gets hailed as a classic. Alot of what the show is made up, but the wealth, egos and money is all true!!!!!! I don't see why everyone fantasises about this show.

She was upset because he was the first to have sex after the breakup.

Maybe because the show is well-written and well acted. It is a prime time soap. I guess you have never seen Dynasty or Dallas.
