Hopefully, based on the description, there will be some fun drama tonight.

On a side note, I've now moved O.C. to the VCR and will hd dvr Earl and Office. Oh well.

Guess their was not much buzz about this episode...

Actually I thought it was really good whenever Summer, Seth or Julie Cooper was in the scene! Someone needs to put Marissa on some Prozac or something...

Was that Marissa in Matts apartment in the football jersey? I couldnt tell...

Ryan and Sadie have some nice chemistry...I hope they go with that..

Watch it just to hear Seth & Summer's snappy lines. They crack me up~

Nikki Reed ("Sadie") has really nice eyes.

Seth getting the "Journey" tribute band for Ryan's party was excellent. As were the pictures of Ryan as a man.

Doughboy

It was a typically dull episode as usual. Julie was great as always, but she alone can't carry this show. Thankfully Taylor will be back next week, so that gives me one thing to look forward to.

Marissa really needs to go. It doesn't matter what storyline they stick her in, Mischa Barton is guaranteed to make it unwatchable. For chrissakes, they couldn't even make a lesbian subplot even remotely interesting last season.

It would be a lot easier to care about the Sadie/Ryan romance if it wasn't obvious to everyone that she's nothing more than a stopgap until he and Marissa inevitably get back together.

Seth mentioned last night how few people Ryan knew and that summed up one of the show's biggest weaknesses right now. The cast is so small that they've run out of people to pair up(hell, they'd already done that in Season 1). So all they can do now is either introduce new characters who stick around for a few weeks before conveniently disappearing or recycle the same storylines over and over again.

Looking like this show is going the way of 90210,1 or 2 great season's finished with 6 or 7 horrible season's,it's time to move on Fox.

And sadly to me I prefer all the lesser girls to Marissa's poor rich girl whining.

I still will always watch the show. Thought it was excellent, how they tied in this season, and the third episode from Season 1("The Model Home"). I also thought it was great how they played South's "Paint the Silence" again, and that Marissa had orignally given a mix CD to him during that episode which contained that same song. I loved how that was the same song that was played during Ryan and Marissa's first kiss on the ferris wheel back in the Season 1 episode "The Heights". Excellent job everyone, and with bad girl Jess Sathers coming back next week, and Matt looking to get in a load of hot water.....it looks like its going to be interesting.

Dalvin

Also loved they played a cover of Foreigner's "I've been waiting for a girl like you". Nice cover....but nobody can touch LOU Gramm.
