THE OC’s Fourth Season Launches In One Week!! Want to Watch 4.1 Today??

Published at:  Oct 26, 2006 12:58:42 AM CDT

SPOILER ALERT !!

I am – Hercules!!

It picks up five months later. We don’t see the funeral. Coop’s death is keeping things from getting back to normal. Ryan is not in the poolhouse and he’s not in school. He’s fighting ‘round the world. Julie is popping pills and growing distant from Summer’s dad. Summer … smells different.

I saw it. Now you can. Starting 3 a.m. ET, midnight PT.

I’m told you have to go to MySpace or the website of one of 24 Fox affiliates. I saw nothing in either place, but there’s still 90 or so minutes to go.

4.1 is titled “The Avengers.” Seth is now running a comic book store and Summer is in Rhode Island – but they only spend one in the next four episodes apart. Taylor Townsend has been busy in Europe. Minicoop is hanging with Luke’s little brothers. There’s a scary new version of an old Kate Bush song. “If I only could make a deal with God,” it goes. “Get him to swap our places.”

4.2, which goes online in a week, is titled “The Gringos.” Steve-O plays a crazed Marine. 4.3 is titled “The Cold Turkey.” It’s the Thanksgiving episode and features a fleeting “Galactica” reference. 4.4 is titled “The Metamorphosis” and is all about Summer blossoming into a female lead.

If you want to know how 4.1 ends you’ll have to wait till it goes online or just highlight some invisotext: “I just realized,” Ryan tells Julie, standing over Coop’s headstone. “I have to do this.”

    Watching it now...

    by ohiobobcat

    This is actually really good. I've been watching season one on DVD and I am enjoying this just as much. Significantly better than last season, which I somehow sat through, albeit five at a time on Tivo when I had absolutely nothing else to do. Anyway, The OC is really as back as the reviewers have been saying. And this is coming from a 19 year old male... who somettimes is a 14 year old girl. WHAT??? Anyway, speaking of 14 year old girls, I would gladly go to jail for pot-smoking mini-Coop.

    by ohiobobcat

    ...from my last post. It really is a shame that season 3 and the last half of season 2 couldn't have been this good - Maybe people wouldn't have to be begged to tune back in for season 4.

    ...do we really care about this show anymore? Died after season one. Then again, maybe they could bring Marissa Cooper back as a Cylon. THAT would rule.

    I just feel bad...

    by danielkurland

    That the first season actually WAS good and satirical of the genre, and now it's just the definition of the shitty genre. Every year they say "we've fixed things; it's going to be different", and granted, killing Marissa gets a lot of respect, so I guess I'll watch it, hoping it's good, and if it sucks, and I'm betting it will. I can just laugh at it.

    by genericgeek

    ...for Bilson as the female lead and Minicooper as the sidekick. No offense, but Barton was teh suck. Also, I predict a few comic book cameos. Bendis, I'm looking at you.

    This WILL Be the Last Season, MetalWater!

    by deandome

    I THINK it's pretty much a given that this is gonna be the last season. The reason (again, I THINK) is that this is the final year of the stars' contracts..it woulda been toast last year (due to ratings) if this wasn't the case. Hopefully, it IS the case, otherwise we're stuck with another "Drew Carey Show" situation where contractual obligations meant the show went 2 years past it's natural death time & we were subjected to bored actors going thru the motions to collect their paychecks. And when you're talking sexually explicit network TV...NOTHING tops "Two and a Half Men". My god...my wife and I were shocked with last weeks ep...this is a "family hour" show. We LOVED it...but we were blown away with what they were getting away with. I.E....Charlie's type-A girlfriend telling him after he comes out from under the covers (clearly slurping the clam_..."If I knew you were gonna camp out down there, I would have got you a lantern and sleeping bag". I forget the other lines, but it was killer.

    Who pays to get the Tv show review threads?

    by evilwizardglick

    Who pays for these TV review threads? And how much?
    Where is the NIP/TUCK discussion? Or Men in Trees? Vanished? South Park? Drawn Together?
    Even fucking Prison Break.
    An OC thread, c'mon. Nip/Tuck kicks the shit out of OC any day any way.
    I will gladly contact the Nip/Tuck powers that be as long as someone will tell me how much cash is being paid to start these topics.
    I bet they pony up. Hell maybe even send a Christian Troy signed photo.

    this show jumped the shark back midway through season 2

    by amy chasing

    perhaps end of season 1. So being surrounded by actually decent shows like Galactica, House, Life On Mars, Scrubs, Doctor Who, etc. who has time to watch OC now? Loved da OC once, but I think Veronica Mars has stolen its crown.

    It's Odd...

    by deandome

    When this show WAS 'hot'...and even now...the attraction NEVER revolved around the two main charcters!! Ryan, Mar-I-CAN'T-ACT-issa both define(d) "meh". But Summer, Seth, all the parents & Taylor WERE (and hopefully still are)great characters that were very well acted. Adam Brody is a bona fide geek-tastic STAR, and the babes are hot & funny...I REALLY did Ma Cooper!! Let's play a game..in what other shows were the lead characters the least compelling part of the show?

    Lead Characters least compelling...

    by big jim

    I don't know if "compelling" is the best word for these characters, but the first season of Will & Grace, Jack & Karen were the more watchable. But then it went on for another 7 years.
    As for the OC, I think it jumped the shark at the end of season 1 with Ryan leaving because his ex-girlfriend is pregnant and everyone acts like the guy died. Seth is a good character until they near the end of the season, then he becomes an incredible douche. As for Marissa being killed off, it would have worked better if they hadn't spent 3/4 of the final episode with everyone saying goodbye to her. That's all I got to say about that.

    No problem since it is a fictional name. I still will be interested to see how the OC evolves. There's enough interesting elements to keep me checking it out.

    wow

    by slkboxrman

    the OC is in its 4th season ?? what assholes are watching it ?? oh wait is it a WB show ? or is it CW or some shit....i guess it makes sense, monkeys could be watching the show and the CW will keep it on.,..look at 7th layer of hell, should have been cancelled 5 yrs ago, after jessica biel bary watson left, since then i think most people just watch to see ruthie grow tits and show cleavage...at least 3 male friends at work referenced that as the only reason to watch...with the mentally challenged dialogue on that show, i hope she bails and does a better show, and not an OC clone or something..

    anyone else confuse the OC with One Tree Hill ?? they might as well call it the OTC.. all simple crap for a simple minded audience...but as ive said in other posts, only a mentally retarded, retard could find "flavor of love" interesting and certainly not interesting enuf to be on this long...but mtv puts out crap too...
