So. This is where we’re at.

hackthis_archiveStrangely enough I’m coherent, it could just be the hangover.
The Good
* Seth at Comic Con. Like manna from heaven for a slash writer, and don’t you know I’ve never even BEEN? I’ll fake it.
* The song playing during the club scene was The Chemical Brothers ‘Out of Control.’ Now this probably means fuckall to people who aren’t club kids or who aren’t into electronica (which is not techno), but to those of us who are? It was like Christmas/Hannukah and 4th of July all at the same time. I fucking LOVE The Chems, and the fact that The OC has a real music coordinator, who understands the importance of the right song at the right time and how it helps a scene out? YES! YES Motherfucker YES! Ahem. Right. (Except for those AOL/OC premieres: I never like those songs).
(Also, if nothing else using The Chems made me think about Seth taking Ryan to see Rex again in the not-too distant future, and no, Kassie, no sex at Disneyland unless you write it).
*Seth & Summer bickering. Good lord, how could you fail to be amused by that? The scene at breakfast? That’s them 30 years from now with more wrinkles and several children. Sorry, slash people, but you know I now believe it wouldn’t be the worst thing ever.
*Summer actually coming out in a positive light. Go on girlfriend.
The Bad
*Summer, sweetie, after all that grief about the motel room, how are you going to emerge from the bathroom dressed in half a curtain? You're the one who said there were pubes on the bed cover!
*Luke turning out to be the town slut. WTF? Not once was that ever alluded to until last night, way to take the easy way out with the competition PTB. Couldn’t y’all have made them have to work for it? Why is that such an alien idea? Okay, apparently I wasn't thinking straight (snerk), because I'd repressed all his ho-ish behaviour. My bad. How about we stick in here that thing that he and Holly called dancing, because people, that was not dancing. That was bad porn. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
misswindy knows.
*Marissa’s getting the divorce low down over the phone. Okay, that shit sucks and I talk from experience, but immediately going to sleep? Not possible. See that’s when you go out drinking and get messed up.
*What kind of stupid ass irresponsible brain-dead dumbass mixes tequila with prescription drugs? Marissa, there’s a time to be the damsel in distress and then there’s a time to be a goddamn woman. Shit. She irritates me like a rash.
Life is pain, highness... get over it.
*Jimmy. Oh my god. No brains, no balls, no nothing. I see where Marissa gets it from.
Say What?!
*Anybody else wonder what exactly was on the itinerary Seth made to get over Marissa? Sex, sex and sex perhaps? I see an AU somewhere out there involving body shots and Cuervo Gold!
*On Ryan waking up next to Marissa. You know the real reason he woke up severely startled? Because he realized it wasn’t Seth next to him.
*On Sandy going to work for The Man. WHAT?! For the last seven episodes they’ve been all about Sandy hating on the system and thinking it’s the devil, suddenly he’s swayed by a big pay check? And since we’re on the subject of cash, how on earth are he and Kirsten just having this conversation about feeling emasculated by not being the one with all the cash? They’ve been married at least 17 years! No joke that they have bigger problems.
* Sandy + Rachel = Jimmy + Kirsten.
*ethrosdemon and I were talking on Monday and she was fucking with me because she’d seen the episode already and I hadn’t. I don’t know what I was expecting, because it certainly happened, I just feel kinda like AND? It’s not like we don’t know how things are gonna turn out. Typical TV etiquette says Marissa wouldn’t be in the credits if she was gonna get knocked off, take that hint from Everwood (as opposed to all that stuff with Joss).
Persuant to said argument: If they knock her off they're not going to have a love interest for Ryan... unless they out him and pair him with Seth like I want, but nobody loves me that much. Besides, I think it's pretty well documented that Ryan has that all important 'Messiah/Save those going down the wrong path' thing happening, and who better for him to save than the poor, little rich girl next door? [insert heaving] Personally I think he should start closer to home, like with Seth!
*I got spoiled for October by reading my very first actor/fan interview in about a billion years. I KNEW there was a reason I didn’t read that shit. Well, actually two reasons and that’s one of’em. Nuts.
More thoughts after the second viewing this weekend. In the meanwhile, go here where Miss Windy talks about the Summer love, the strange lack of minorites in a show about Southern Cali and why Marissa needs to get herself a day job.
