Dear Jenny --
I haven't been inspired to write about last week's O.C. It's not that it was bad, exactly, but it felt very rehashed.
Marissa is drinking and pouting again, and everyone agrees that it's Volchok's fault. What exactly is so bad about Volchok exactly? So he uses some recreational drugs, sure, and he had that weird homoerotic vendetta with Ryan -- but who hasn't had one of those at this point? Is it the stubble? It's the stubble, right? He is awfully stubbly for someone who's assumedly in high school.
Then Julie and Dr Roberts are engaged. Did we know that already? I feel like maybe we already knew that. Who told us? The Fox promotions people? Very well. Summer and Julie had some OK lines, I thought, but I can't remember any of them. The bit with Julie and the Roberts's Filipino maid was lame, except that Julie's non-verbal non sequitur at the end was kind of inspired. Melinda Clarke is hilarious. (Not as funny as her IMDB photo, though.)
What is Matt still doing around? Why do I even know that that guy's name is Matt? When is Sandy going to get a better storyline? Any answer, Fox promotions people? I missed the scenes from this week's episode.
Love,
-- Pete
