The OC discussion thread

[Mr. Blonde]

Ok, i never watch these kind of shows usually, i don't even watch friends, but for some reason i love the OC and watch it every week, and throughout the week discuss the events in the show. I dont know if anybody else shares this opinion or not, but the OC has too much controversy not to be discussed. Here are some topics to go on

Thoughts of Luke and Julie (the mom)

Thoughts on the Ryan/Marissa/Theresa situation

Thoughts on Seth/Summer/Anna

[StabMaster Arson]

Yeah, so I have watched a total of maybe 10 minutes of this show, but my grandparents watch it religiously and always talk about it when I see them. I think it's funny that they watch it. Yet, somehow, it's just sad that you do.

interesting side note:
This chick from the OC


is also this chick from the Sixth Sense


weird, huh?

Alright, I have seen one episode of this show since it aired. Very cool show, although it just makes me wish I was a rich California kid. About controversy, though, I saw none at all. There is nothing in this show that is controversial, so I don't see how you can say that.

Other than that, the show kicks ass.

Sorry, I guess i didnt explain myself. What i meant was like if you watched it regularly, there was a lot of shit that was disagreed on by different people i talk to. I didnt mean the kind of public controversy thing.

"Did not specify!"

This is a pretty good show when I actually sit down and watch it. Most of me liking it is just because that gal is really hot though...

That's fucked up that it's the Sixth Sense girl. Didn't she die? Oh...

I adore the O.C. and I'm saddened when I miss it. Is there anyway you can fill me in on what I've missed the past in the past two episodes Mr. Blonde? I've been working those nights. I can't wait for the season one dvd's....ahhh.

[Mr. Blonde]

ok, past two episodes. Well you know that oliver went to the looney bin because he had a gun and was threatening to kill himself in front of marissa so now everybody knows. And marissa is trying to get back together with ryan but he is apprehensive because she's well, a bitch and didnt trust him. Anna and Seth have broken up and Seth goes for the rebound with Summer, and tells her he's always loved her blah blah and they have sex like right there. Kind of unexpected. Seth has the usual first time problems and tries it again but still kinda akward. We then find out that Summer was actually a virgin too, and they eventually decide to start seeing each other.
The episode takes place like right before V-day, turns out Sandy hates the day and Kirsten really likes it (apparently they never found this out in their 15 years or so of marriage) He pisses her off and they pretty much stop talking to each other in a cute bitchy sort of way. Kirsten is hosting a vday singles dance thing or something like that, Ryan says he'll help set up the place, and while doing so meets this girl he's known since his childhood, who lives where he used to, named Theresa. Super hot-latin chick, immediate threat to Marissa, but who cares cause she is a dumb bitch anyway. They start talking again and decide they're gonna start hanging out kinda i guess. At the end Sandy makes up for it to Kirsten by doing some romantic shit, Seth and Summer get everything pretty much figured out, Ryan/Marissa/Theresa is still weird, Ryan doesnt know what he wants yet. Oh, and Luke hooks up with Julie, Marissa's (lukes ex if you forget) Mom. Yeah, i know. thats how they end that episode

This weeks starts out like ryan and marissa situation is still akward, and Summer is ignoring Seth at school because she claims she doesnt like people knowing about her personal life but she's being the usual flirt and decides to do a kissing booth thing for a fundraiser and this long haired preppy bitch dude asked her to. Seth is unhappy about it. Anna comes in this episode and finds out about them, and is hurt but isnt bitter. She ends up giving him advice to stand up for himself to her, and Seth goes on a "strike" with sex and stuff with Summer. I would never be able to do that shit, but yeah, tv show. Anyways, some guy at Kirsten's and her dads construction company is in some legal trouble for stumbling drunk in a hotel room and Caleb wants Sandy to take care of it. After some talking to Sandy decides to look over it, and discovers there is like a bunch of illegal shit going on and the guy is actually like espionage on other companies and stuff. Sandy refuses the case but caleb says that if he doesnt then the guy might squeal and that would get his company in trouble...and although Kirsten doesnt know anything about all this stuff she's 2nd in rank...so she would be in trouble, so sandy is kind of stuck in a rut.

Ryan gets a call from Theresa and they start hanging out, but it is later unveiled that she is engaged but has been working and staying near ryan bc she likes him, and her fiance who used to be friends w/ ryan comes looking for her and he denies it, but later decides to go to his job and tell him. The guy pretty much says i can't tell you what to do but be prepared to fight for her because i'm in love with her blah blah. meanwhile marissa is talking to theresa and finds out she's engaged and theresa pretty much says she's gonna go back to her fiance, but ryan shows up after that and they start kissing and they pretty much cut it off there. The hotel room she is staying in while away just happens to be right next to the room that Julie and Luke have been messing around in, so i think someone will find out in an upcoming episode.

Next episode looks like Ryan and Theresa get more intimate, and the fiance ends up like hitting him or something and also Julies' ex husband who is now in business with Sandy sees Luke like touching her so I think he knows whats up. Anyways, thats waht has happened so far, if i missed anything anybody else is free to add.

It's amazing what you can miss in two episodes, I'm probably going to have to reread that just to fully understand all of that. Thanks for the update Mr. Blonde.

I just like all the "dropping band names all over the place" thing with the show.

I never have time to sit down at watch TV (in fact, last night was the first night that I had turned it on in around 2 weeks) so I've only caught around 1 episode of this show.

But you can't find a music magazine that's not mentioning how indie bands are getting their names dropped all over the place during the show. I mean, BRIGHT EYES?! That's some astonishing shit.

But good for the OC. And the chick is hot, even if she can't act.
