First, I wonder if pet stores across the nation are experiencing inflated sales of overweight bunnies? This would make hard-hitting news. Must add this to "possible exposés" Stickies.
Oh, Che (Chris Pratt, pictured). I’ve never liked him, despite what I consider to be an attractive amount of scruff. And now he’s gone and gotten Summer kicked out of Brown by Dean Mullet. This was only acceptable for two reasons. 1) When Summer plunked down on her bed while packing up her dorm room, the requisite Cool Song of the Scene’s lyrics were along the lines of "Summer, sitting down." Only The O.C. can do this with impunity. Sort of. 2) Summer’s now back in Newport, where it’s so not cool to go to college. She should fit right in at the sorority house that used to be her own.
Leading the sisters? Kaitlin Cooper. Kaitlin is REAL BAD, and don’tyou forget it. That twitty little Harbor it-girl, apparently in therunning to become the Next Real Housewife of Orange County,didn’t stand a chance. I’m still in shock that we finally cameface-to-face with Actual Water Polo on this show. Is nothing sacred?Anyway, Kaitlin had a blowout, and in keeping with the times, thebikinis and jean skirts of the stock O.C.-teens-behaving-badlyfootage were replaced by… LEGGINGS. Agh! They won’t go away! I dughow nonchalantly Katilin informed Housewife’s boyfriend, "Sweatheart,you’re so gay," and then he stepped out of the closet and immediatelyhooked up with a guy. Ryan found the pair in Summer’s bed (ew!) andtold them to "carry on." We knew he didn’t mean "keep up the good workin your fashion design" because Ryan didn’t sing the phrase in threedifferent notes.
Then it was back into the closet for… Taylor’s chance to useRyan’s body "like a jungle gym"! Hey, this is actually working. Theycan mess around now and put off the soul-searching Marissa crap forlater, or never. Taylor’s Tawny Kitaen-esque turn in Ryan’sdecidedly pedestrian fantasies were funny but should have lastedlonger, and I would have loved to see Ryan go all extra-cheesy ’80s inthem himself. There’s always next week… which may not be the case forthe rest of the season. Speaking of which, how do you think next week’sIt’s A Wonderful Life Chrismukkah episode looks? Please tell methe gaunt figure with dramatically face-shrouding wavy hair extensions won’t be Mischa….

I never thought I’d say this, but…I’ve actually watch the past two episodes of THE OC. What’s weirder, I actually liked them. Does this mean I’m suddenly going to start listening to Rooney and wearing flip flops everyday?
I love it. The O.C. is finally back on track. It has never been better.
Great episode last night. Taylor is just hysterical.
“So what if I hired my homosexual friend and paid him with rare collectibles from Asian cinema?”
It must have been soooooo much fun for Autumn Reeser to film all those fantasy scenes. Hilarious! I liked Sandy’s impression of Seth as well.
After not watching season 2 and 3 i’m glad i happened to switch to this a few weeks ago. It’s so good this season. Taylor is really hysterical.
I love that Marrissa is still alive in Ryan-less world. Basically: if not for Ryan moving there, Marissa would be still alive!
this is the best episode yet! that review doesn’t even begin to due justice to all the hilarious one liners (Bullet calling Sandy a he-bro) and the Sandy/Kirsten auditioning to be a subsitute Seth. this episode was smart, fun, charming and hilarious. Like old school OC! best season ever? can’t Entertainment Weekly give an award for COMEBACK OF THE YEAR?
I’m worried about next week. Looks too much like the old 90210 episode where a Christmas miracle saved a bus full of kids – sappy!
There were so many Guffaws in last nights episode I am so close to writing Fox a very stern letter begging them to please keep this show on the air. This season has been an utter delight.
Awesome, awesome, awesome. The O.C. is fun again and I’m so glad that I stuck with it through the suckfest of last year. Autum Reeser’s Taylor combined with the death of Marissa have been the best things to happen to the O.C. since Death Cab For Cutie.
Best season EVER!!!!!!!!!! to bad its the last one!!!!!!!
The OC as we knew and loved it in Season One is back! Good snappy dialogue, no overwhelming parent storylines (Kirsten, please please don’t fall off the wagon), great chemistry between Ryan and Taylor, and so far nobody has kicked the bucket. And now that no one has to worry about being in college, let the real fun begin! EW, please give this show as many plugs as you can – disgruntled viewers need to come back. Merry Chrismukkah to everyone out there.
does ne one kno the 12 day of chrismukka lyrics
Pretty sure that we rewinded and rewatched Ryan saying “I like her.” to Seth at least six times. Oh, Ryan. And then when he grabbed his lip all nervously when he was talking to Taylor? Almost too wonderful for words.
Yeah!! OC is back baby! Love you Taylor!
i gives a ratsass about the oc, but he’s cute!
I loved the first season…and have painfully kept watching. I don’t think this season is any better…the last episode was just as awful.
Taylor is annoying, and her “just because I want to use your body as a jungle gym doesn’t mean we have to get married” is so…classy. What a great message for today’s youth.
And I agree with Lil…Ryan, if you never moved there, Marissa would be alive! You’re the reason she’s dead! What a lovely Happy Holidays message!
