The O.C.

Hmmm...so Marisa's sister is coming back as a high schooler?

MFRone, Please use spoilers!
Also...big spoiler just announced today that will make a TON of people happy...

Why should I use spoilers? It was a preview for next episode, if you watch Fox they are running the promo with her in it.

Here we go again...

The scenes with Seth and Sandy up on stage were pretty funny.

Johnny needs to go far away.

Must people put spoilers for next weeks episode as some people do not want to get, well, spoiled on whats coming up next (or in this case a month). But whatever

"PROMO SPOILERS:
If you're going to discuss official information about an upcoming episode (ie. stuff shown in the "next week on..." segment, or print/broadcast advertisement/teasers) please make sure that you either use spoiler tags or start a thread with some kind of warning in the thread title"

Jesus, could they overplay the whole "trailer trash" angle with Julie any more? Sitting there watching friggin' Nascar, eating what looked to be a can of beans, and even dipping some Skoal. We get it, show producers, ok? We really do.

Pudding, yeah, I hear you. I was laughing my ass off that she was watching Nascar.

Holy crap! I know everyone saw Julie Coopers red thong strap...lets get some screencaps!

I was laughing at Julie dipping skoal.

"Cooper Scooper" - please retire that one!

I'm with Johnny. I mean, there is obviously no other choice but to knock off a mini-mart in order to obtain .05%, at best, of his surgery cost with absolutely no concealment of his identity and a bum leg while acting suspicious and driving his own car. I mean...what possibly other alternative is there!!

I said to my wife: "I suppose he is thinking of committing suicide with that gun. I mean, he's not going to rob a convenience store."

Yeah, not only was that about the stupidest thing he could do but I also don't think it's in Johnny's character.

Lately The OC has been having characters do ridiculous things just to get to a situation they want (e.g. Marissa being treated like a pariah instead of a hero for saving Ryan's life so they can send her to public school). Very lazy writing for a show that was once one of the best written on TV.

Considering these O.C. threads are only filled with negative comments, I wonder why any of you are still watching it.

Because the only other show broadcasting new episodes was Joey. :D

Because there's nothing else on?

Because we're gluttons for punishment?

Because a lot of us once really liked the show, and hope to see it somehow return to what made it great in the first place?

Because Summer is cute?

Because I want to see how laughably bad and outlandish it can really become?

Because Reunion is the show I really like, but am too lazy to pick up the remote and switch the channel to Fox at 9 so I just do it an hour early?

Just kidding about that last one.

Because if it was a bad show all the way through, why the hell would we have watched it?!!!

Edited to add the emphisis to 'all'. However, is it a mystery that the shows that are completely bad...don't have threads every week they air?

Sometimes people just like to complain..*shrug* or maybe they are hoping beyond hope that the show turns around.



I can see Coop's mom and summer's dad hookin gup. Summer and marissa would be sisters.

I thought the "Donna Martin Graduates" T-Shirt was a great shout-out to the next new episode.

Sandy, Seth and Summer were in top form throughout as they spread the holiday cheer.

Johnny should have thrown the gun off a cliff and then jumped after it. That may have been one of the worst moments on the show.

Julie's tribute to My Name Is Earl was pretty amusing. I loved the fact that she was dipping Skoal - then offering it to Kirsten sealed the deal. rotfl

Good god, Johnny's story is so fucking lame.

The best part of the episode was Julie as trailer trash.

I was going to dump this show after X-masukkah, but

No shit man. That was the worst idea I've ever seen. These writers are bad.

Otherwise, this episode was ok. Funny seeing Julie watching Nascar, and dipping.

We need a poll: Johnny or Oliver: who's lamer?

Johnny by far

Most definitely.

A genuinely awful episode. I personally like Julie so much more when she's wealthy and bitchy. I feel sympathy for her and everything, but I don't think she's nearly as fun as she was during the last two seasons. But maybe she and Dr. Roberts will wind up hooking up and she'll return to her old ways once she gets some money again. I really liked the idea of putting Marissa in a new school and have her making new friends, and Johnny was a decent character in the beginning, but since no supporting/recurring characters stick around on this show for very long it was probably inevitable to have him fall in the love with her to create tension between her and Ryan, only to be disposed of as quickly as possible. And the sugary ending scene, complete with "That's What Friends Are For"? I wanted to die. This show has really lost its edge.

Lame episode last night. Johnny has got to go...

Caitlyn Cooper = @_@

Great episode just for Julie Cooper's Red thong !
