“I give you leave to like him. You have liked many stupider a person.”

I took a shower. I washed my hair. I unplugged the phone. I had beer *and* chocolate. And then the night got even better:

Smallville

+I *liked* this episode of Smallville for the first time in ages, ostensibly because I was expecting it to suck and it didn’t. I have decided that this dude was really a mutant upgrade because the writing people have actually learned something. Or not.

Okay, I really liked this episode because the X-Men Reject was named SETH, dressed like the *real* Seth and liked comic books. Did you all catch that mad ferris wheel action? [laughs like a hyena].

Okay.

The real reason I adored this episode of Smallville is because I decided that Lana was actually symbolic of fans everywhere who have been wooed by The O.C., and this was the AlMiles (TM Tigress35) attempt to win the fans back by proving they have the better show. What. Evah.


The O.C.

The Good

+Slutty!Ryan. Because, dude, I see he’s attended my school of dating. Relationships? What relationships? Sex is good. Lock the door behind you when you leave. (Who hasn’t has issues trying to keep tally before? C’mon.)

+Lots of Ryan kissage. I may not like watching him kiss *Marissa*, but I like watching his mouth, and that’s good enough for me!

+Seth working a pinstripe suit, with a tie that also had *opposing* stripes, and pulling the whole thing off. Who wanted to marry Seth last night? Yeah, exactly.

+I dub Julie Lady Deathstrike, because every time she was on screen I kept waiting for her claws to come out. In my head I even had the Wolverine special sounds. V v cool.

+I heart the parental love. Kirsten + Sandy 4 Eva!

+”I like Seth Cohen!” We know you do, baby.


The Bad

+That dress Marissa was wearing looked like a patchwork quilt made by Cher and Liza Minelli. I've seen the same number on Paris Hilton, and it didn't do anything for her either. (Unless Marissa's about to do a grainy sex tape with Shannen Doherty's husband.)

+Anna’s earrings at the benefit were like doorknockers. Why do they persist in giving her those craptastic earrings? Having short hair does not mean you should be wearing small caches of metal in your ears.

+That nasty polka-dot dress they put on my Sekrit Girlfriend is was WRONG. Summer is hot, why did wardrobe put her in some dress left over from the Regan administration?

+Rachel, the skank. We need no words, you know what I’m thinking here.


WTF

+Since when does Thai food come in Chinese carryout containers?

+How was it Ryan’s place to rat out Lady Deathstrike to Marissa? Dude, that’s family business, never ever *ever* fuck with somebody else’s family business. Especially somebody you’re trying to get next to. That’s just stupid, and Ryan should be smarter than that.


Next week: Seth gets his mack on! Twice! Ryan gets *his* mack on, now that we know that’s totally what he does. (Clearly this superhero isn’t a virgin.) Lady Deathstrike comes to dinner and makes shish kebab of everyone. Zahra’s head explodes from all the vicarious mackage.

The "how many...I have to sit down" conversation had me rolling. As did the "you don't do girlfriends. Well, actually, you do do them--" Yes, i wanted to marry Seth. And how is it that he can wear shirts that would look stupid on anybody else and on him they look adorable? never mind, I think I know. It's just Seth, isn't it?

Also, did you catch the whole "I've never really *dated* anybody" thing? What's the opposite of getting Jossed? Because that's me! *g*

Dude, the whole time Ryan was giving Seth the run down, I was all like 'AHHHHHHHHHH! That's me, stop quoting me!' And Seth is wearing my clothing, I even had the suit, but it looks way better on him. I heart this show. And yes, you totally called it. Ryan can't commit, we know this. Ten bucks says he sabotages the relationships rather than trying to live up to something he can't be. *blinks* Wow, did I just say that? That was pretty fucking profound for me. Or um, maybe I'm just saying what I'd diddo.

Oh, god, shades of ex(es) past. What do you get when you put together two commitment phobes? Disaster with lots and lots of sex.

That said, I think it's just as safe to say that Ryan's also a 16-year-old boy who doesn't have the first clue about dating or relationships, what with the severe lack of positive examples in his past (notthati'dknowanythingaboutthatohno). It's waayyy easier to learn how to be good at sex than dating. Also, look at his taste in women. I think it's safe to argue that Marissa is a high-rent younger version of his alcoholic flake of a mother.

Huh, you know that's the same thing you get when you mix one commitment phobe with people who think they can change her. *winks*

Swap the 16 for 26 and it's me!

Wordy McWord. *adores* You're so smart.

*snerk* no wonder I like you.

heh. Freud and I disagree about quite a few things, but when he was right he was *on* you know?

Oh, but that puts another interesting spin on that Ryan POV vignette I wrote doesn't it? Must post that soon.
