SWEEPS DAY 15!!
The Almost-Last OC Ever!!
I am – Hercules!!
Four years ago, a 26-year-old named Josh Schwartz created a show about the romantic adventures of a comic-book nerd who found his life transformed by a fighty kid from the wrong side of the tracks. The fact that “The OC” made me laugh and even occasionally cry seemed almost like icing on the cake.
The Feb. 19 edition of TV Guide has a nice roundup by Damian Holbrook of the show’s highest highlights, from Luke’s rude welcome to Summer giving Seth the Spider-Man kiss to Marissa going all lesbian to the first onscreen celebration of Chrismukkah.
The show likes to end its seasons with big deaths and one hears rumors that this final season of “The OC” will prove no exception, with the (quake-precipitated?) fatality arriving this very night. (I’m thinking it might be Bullet or Frank Atwood.)
Next week brings the series finale, set six months after tonight’s installment.
9 p.m. Thursday. Fox.

When it was good...it was REAL good. It had several missteps along the way, but so do many shows. Season 1 and the beginning of Season 2 were incredible (with the exception of Oliver).
-
To quote the good Doctor above. That's what should happen. No one dies. Everybody lives, we get a time skip to everyone in the future, and Seth ends up with ANNA LIKE HE SHOULD! Bravo to you Herc for putting THE PENTULTIMATE EPISODE talkback out of COAX.
-
that this is the first season i've watched?
-
did she come back to the show? we stopped watching about when she left around the start of season 2 (or was it end season 1?).
-
Became craptastic after Season 2. I'm surprised it actually lasted till now. I just want to see more of Rachel Bilson...damn is she hot.
-
I've actually never seen it but my understanding is that it appeals to the female tween set. Can we get back to the "cool" news now? By the way, Nick at Nite shows Full House every day, Herc.
-
"I've actually never seen it," alright dude, then how is it your understanding? I can't believe you formed an opinion about a show you have never seen....oh wait, this is a talkback. Go watch it....THEN form the opinion as normal folks would do. You never know, you might turn into an 11 year old girl like the rest of us that actually enjoy it.
-
I'm a doctor and I base my opinion on my observation that many of my younger patients appear to like that show. I'm guessing that you're about 30ish, overweight, and single?
-
"30ish, overweight, and single..." What an asshole you are. Do you stereotype your patients like that too? "Hmmm, a negro, eh?... must be sickle-cell."
-
Wow you sound like a very professional doctor, possibly 30ish...overweight....and single. I am none of those things unfortunatly. To make matters worse...they aren't all that insulting. You could have done better. Dont be a pussy. Lol usually when someone feels the need to announce they are a doctor....well, they probably aren't. Good luck with your life there Mr. Pedophile.
-
Your opinion is based on random snippets of conversation among a small sampling of the population. Kind of like how they do it at the Networks. Two execs overhear the lunchlady saying how much [insert favourite cancelled show here] sucks, so they figure the demographic of working women over 30 hate the show, and by next week it's gone, replaced by Who Wants to Makeover the Littlest Bachelor. (End of Rant)

I wish I could be a doctor and type stereotypical responses on AICN all day! Hey trazadone, I'm a 30ish male, married with kids, and my wife and I watch the OC. What "doctorly" comments do you have for me?
-
I've watched OC - it's moderately funny sometimes, and it has some very lovely ladies (whoever plays Taylor is smokin' hot) - those two things alone make it better than 75% of everything else on right now.
-
I even cried during the Spider-Man kiss. I'm just carrying around too much estrogen. Anna Stern, all blonde and hot, did return late last season for a few episodes to get Summer all sqinty and jealous.
-
"Hey trazadone, I'm a 30ish male, married with kids, and my wife and I watch the OC. What "doctorly" comments do you have for me?" Hmmm, with those symptoms I'd diagnose you as pussy-whipped.
-
you sound like a really accomplished physician, Trazadone. Are there a lot of top-flight MDs trolling fan sites to mock TV shows they've never seen?
-
So, given a choice, I'll pick the pussy to do the whipping.
-
Whats happened here, its just turned into a nonsense forum!! Anyways, who do ya reckon (bar Mischa Barton) will go on to have the best career out of the oc cast??
-
My vote goes to Ben McKenzie. This season has been a revelation as far as his acting ability goes. I was pleasently surprised at how good he was at comedy. If you'd have asked me this question before this season I would have said Adam Brody but it has become quite clear that he's a one note actor (see Mr. & Mrs. Smith). Misha Barton couldn't act her way out of a paper bag. Rachel Bilson is hot and that's about all she has going for her. The jury is still out on Autumn Reeser.

Ah just because the guy has kids you call him whipped?
by godzillasushi
Dude, he has kids....not exactly enough information to blantantly insult him. LOL dont forget everyone....he/she(?) is a "doctor" making the world a better place.
-
I think Rachel Bilson. She already has a lot going for her so why not!
-
You'll need to leave for good in one week.
-
She took a lot of viewers with her. The Marissa/Ryan dynamic was one of the pillars of the show; irregardless of her acting ability, her departure, along with the Grey's/CSI tag team of death, accelerated the show's demise.
-
But the whole Marissa/Ryan suckfest is the reason the show lost all of it's season one viewers. People started to hate Marissa (me included) because the show started revolving around her and her retarded ass problems. And her reactions to her problems, i.e. self-destuctive actions that forced all the other characters to rally to pull her from the brink every. fucking. time. grew tiresome. The show was at it's best when it was an ensemble piece that dealt with the problems of ALL of it's characters not just one spoiled bitch with a death wish.
-
Fucking good episode.
-
I know Josh liked the character, but damn him for catering to the 12 year old girls who hated Oliver for breaking up Ryan and Oliver. Without Marissa, he was pointless but anyone who watched season three can't tell me that the return of Oliver Trask wouldn't have been better than any of the crap they pulled.
-
I was a little suprised with that character. I think I really truly hate him.
-
...and I loved every minute of it.
-
The only bad story arc from season one was the whole Oliver Trask bullshit. But a good thing did come out of those episodes and that was the emergence of Luke as a fun and likeable character. I don't know who I hate more: Oliver from the O.C. or Oliver from the Brady Bunch.
-
He was the only one who stood up for Ryan during that whole ordeal, and he was hilarious in the Rooney episode. That WAS a really good character turn. Then, he immediately went from comic to tragic when the affair with Mrs. Cooper blew up in his face. Here's hoping Mr. Abercrombie himself will cameo in next week's finale..
