I am – Hercules!!
Colin Hanks! Paris Hilton! The first new “O.C.” since the fabulous Anna Stern left way back on March 3. And “Shelbygirl” is in looooooove. (Too bad she didn’t enter Coax’s “OC” contest; she could have met the man of her dreams that much sooner!)
"Shelbygirl" says:
I have to say that I had been waiting with anticipation for this
episode.
There was an
excellent feature on the series mastermind Josh Schwartz in the New
York Times
(online) this weekend, which just made me want to see the episode even
more.... And leads me
to want
to
marry this man. We love the same movies, the same T.V. shows...And he
loves
to write...
Ahem. Sorry. This episode didn't disappoint, in fact this one had me
laughing out loud
more than once!
What does Fox.com say?
The kids make their way to a hot L.A. nightclub and a famous actress
has her
eyes on
Seth?
Since when is Paris Hilton a famous actress?
When we all downloaded her sex video...Come on, you know you watched
it.
Alright, so where are we?
The episode starts right where we left off, at the motel The Mermaid.
Seems
that Ryan
has left his watch behind. Seth has accompanied him, and guess who
they
catch? Julie
and Luke, of course!
That's not good.
Not for Luke, in any case. Ryan decides that Luke needs to end it.
And what are the girls doing?
Summer and Marisa find Grady Bridges (Colin Hanks) on the beach because
"I'm
dating
a girl from Newport..." Summer fauns, and before you can say
"groupie",
they've been
invited to L.A. for his birthday party.
And the adults?
Jimmy Cooper proves he really is bad with money, and reveals that the
Lighthouse is
broke. Kirsten suggests using Julie to the designing in The
Lighthouse,
causing Jimmy
to freak. But then she goes on to suggest that Caleb should be brought
in as
a silent
partner, causing Sandy to freak.
The "previously on The O.C." shows the backstory of Hailey. What is
she up
to?
It is revealed through a letter that she is an aerobics instructor at a
Club
Med...Or is she?
What's good?
All of it. The stunt casting, for one. Paris (as butt-ugly as I think
she
is) was used well!
Grady was a wonderful parody of a teen TV star, and did become "The
T.V. Seth
Cohen."
Parody was rampant, and no one was safe. "I didn't know that strippers
actually did coke
right there in L.A." "The town will steal your soul." Ryan and Seth
as
"partners". Ryan
smiling, lots and lots. The tease of "angst-free Ryan week." Jimmy
vs.
Julie. Ryan
_doesn't_ punch anyone! "Maybe they just spoon and watch Charlie
Rose."
Making the
Golden Girls younger and hotter. Mocking the possible behind the
scenes
romances of
teen dramas. This is just the tip of the iceberg. This is such a
great
episode.
What's not good?
Spoilers reveal that a beloved character on this show will be leaving
at the
end of the
season...And seeing as that I am not one who is "in the know" beyond
what I
can find on
the Net, IT'S DRIVING ME NUTS!!!!! Who is leaving? We've already lost
Anna,
why, why
do we need to lose another one. I even like Luke now...WHY?!?!?!?!?!
How does it end, spoiler-girl?
"I've got to go..." And two boys are left looking forlorn out the
door.
