Hi Jenny --
What the Hell was that last night? The O.C.? Was there one good line? I'm trying to think. Seth and Summer were, um . . . You know, usually, they're the funny ones, but I can't think what they were doing. They had a subplot and it was . . . Nope. Can't remember. So Julie and Dr Roberts . . . Nope. Nothing there. So Sandy . . . Oh! Wait. This was funny. Sandy went to Albuquerque to track down Ryan's mother, Bonny Lee Bakley. Kirsten says, "Where are you going?" Sandy says, "Albuquerque." Kirsten asks, "Albuquerque, New Mexico?" rather than the obvious question: "How do you spell that?" Because there's an Albuquerque , New Hampshire. These days, it really seems like an episode without Taylor is an episode with very little to laugh about.
So, yeah. This was not that great. We don't care about Ryan and Theresa II, at all, like less than we care about Ryan and Marissa. It's possible we care less about Ryan and Theresa II than we did about Ryan and that girl who was really Caleb's daughter, even. I'm sort of interested in both of Marissa's potential new love interests, because they're both kind of creepy. I'm still really surprised that that Jeff Hephner guy is still on the show.
Then there was that crazy bit, in which Marissa returned to the model home, freaked out and took a header down the stairs. What the Hell was that?
What did you think? Did I miss something about this episode that really worked? Are you looking forward to next week? The folks in Fox's ever-reliable promotions department are making it look like we're going to have a teen orgy. Can't wait!
Love,
-- Pete
