Issues with the OC

Ok...Chewy and I have had some great discussions about the direction that this wonderful televison program has taken this season, and I would like to share some of my concerns and thoughts about it...so here we go:

1. SUMMER, what happened to the super self absorbed girl I used to know and love?! Because the Summer I know, would be ALL FOR a comic book in which she was the star, and had the potential for movies, tv-show, action figures....not only would she be supportive of something like that, but she would be DEMANDING it. But now.....we have whiny, totally unrealistic, sucky girlfriend Summer. Besides the fact of supporting a comic that would be all about her, Summer obviously likes Seth enough to go out with this supposed "loser", then break up with Zack to be with Seth instead of going to Europe....so you would THINK she liked him enough to supportive of basically Seth's dream of making his own comic book, not to mention a career that would make him MORE rich.....and the Summer I know, is a fan of that.

2. ZACK AND SUMMER...what the fuck. Mr. Nice Guy is no longer playing his role either! Trying to steal Summer back like that. That guy probably doesn't even care about the comic but is pushing it so much because he wants Seth to get super involved with it to make Summer mad (see #1 for my comments on that whole thing) so he can get her back. Well news flash Zack Attack, she ditched you at the airport RIGHT before your trip to Europe to go be with another guy who she was constantly talking and worrying about during your whole stupid relationship....you don't WANT that back. And if you get it....here's hopin the old Summer returns and crushes your little Ambercombie heart!

3. MARISSA....ok...this will be a long one. Who the hell goes to bed one night as raging alcoholic and wakes up the next morning as a lesbian....and as Chewy pointed out, a pretty weak one at that. A few kissey scenes....big friggin deal....don't bring that shit around here unless you got some heavy petting, some clothes being removed, or at least some tongue!! And Alex, she was a nice girl until that one episode where she freaked out at Ryan and turned all psycho....that was weird. And what made Marissa turn all not druggy/alky all of a sudden? Was it her new love affiar with Alex, and then getting involved with Ryan again, so basically she just can't be alone or she'll drink herself to death....well Marissa, if I had to be alone in that skin too, I'd be tempted to have a beer or two. Or was it that night she almost killed Lindsay by getting her so drunk she wanted to go swimming......(which I think she should have at least been in the water, that had more drama potential than was explored) and then Ryan yelled at her, did that make her realize she was in a dark place and want to become Miss. Change the World with one Atwood at a time? Anyawy, they deffinitely needed some more explaination around these jumps from alcoholic to lesbian, to the perfect princess.

4. SANDY AND KIRSTEN.....all I can say there is, at least they made it even. When Sandy was all about that X-girlfriend of his.....I was not impressed...UNTIL he only kissed her and sent her away while he realized how much he loved Kirsten.....touching stuff. But then Kirsten sees this random guy at work and gets all horned up.....and I thought FOR SURE they were gonna do it....and I was going to have to hate her, because Sandy only kissed that other girl and now he's back to being a perfect husband, and she's going around fornicating with guys at work!? But,in the end she offered just a goodbye kiss, same as Sandy, and all is right with the world again. EXCEPT....Sandy is apparently the only lawyer in the OC....and all of a sudden all of his awesome parenting skills are replaced with "I'll go make a call".......thats how he deals with everything "I'll go make a call"....who the hell is he calling??!

5. TREY.....so any girl shows you a bit of attention and you RAPE them....yeah, no wonder you were in jail. Who really wanted that hottie to be as good as everyone thought he was.....because I did! Now that he pulled the whole attempted rape on Marissa thing, that's going to put some strain on that whole relationship....not to mention how Ryan's gonna friggin flip out when he finds out. It's that damn blow......gets ya everytime. I just can't understand how when you have people like that, rich people...doing EVERYTHING for you to help you get a life, you STILL fuck it up....seriously, everything was done for him, they helped him get clothes, a bitchin bachelor pad that used to be lived in by lesbians, a job.....hello, they even threw him a b'day party! All he had to do was just simply exist......do his job, come home and play with his new firends.....but no, he almost kills a girl, steals Tom Cruise's egg, buys drugs (because we all know now that he was NOT helpin a homeless guy...the ass can't even help himself), and then tries to rape his brothers girlfriend. Trey, write yourself off as a screw up becuase seriously if you can't make that work without fuckin it up so much, you don't stand a chance!

6. RYAN.....knows way more than people give him credit for. He basically sees people fuckin stuff up on a dialy basis and from time to time tries to step in and be like "hey, you do this, you're fuckin up" and most of the time no one listens to him, and what do they do, fuck stuff up. Chewy made the excellent point that apparently everyone forgot about the last season when Ryan knew what creepy Oliver was all about and NO one believed him, not Seth (his BFF and brother!), not Marissa, his girlfriend....no one. And what happened, yeah, he was right, big surprise. And then when Trey comes back into town, Ryan's all like "look, he's gonna fuck this up, just leave him alone, I want to keep my happy life and he's just gonna fuckit up", NO ONE LISTENED TO HIM......Ryan, all he should have had to say was "remember that time Crazy Oliver was around and no one believed me about him, and remember what happened there......and remember Seth when you said you'd be on my side no matter what from now on"......he should be playing that card A LOT more. He tried to tell them, but once again, no one listend to Ryan and now Trey is raping his girlfriend.....that's awesome. Ryan needs to go find another rich family to take him in, one that BELIEVES him and actually LISTENS to the words that come out of his mouth.

7. SETH...my personal favorite. GROW SOME BALLS.....and maybe some brains too, becuase Seth, is one of the stupidest guys ever. I'm pretty sure that after losing Summer by taking off in his boat for the summer, then actually getting her back....would have taught him a bit of a lesson, so that if a hot girl wanted him to lick whipped cream off of her, for a televised event...a bell or whistle of some sort would have rang out in his head saying "no......if you do this, Summer is going to be super pissed and you may not get her back this time...." but Seth lacks this internal alarm system apparently. He has to know when to pick his battles....becuase his girlfriend not being supportive of a life long dream....and why, because the one who is going to publish the comic book is a girl....wow, stupid......he needs to speak up about that one! Why can't Seth be smart enough to say (in his own witty words) to Summer that she's being pyscho and he really just wants her to be supportive and interested in his work like she was before Zack ruined it....and take part in this big stuff going on his life. Basically Seth just has to stop being STUPID.

8. THERSA....i hate her. And I know that it is just a matter of time before that crazy ho comes back into the picture to ruin everything....AGAIN....becuase that's what she does, she ruins stuff. And my question is....Ryan cared enough about this girl to move back home to the friggin ghetto and live with her and take care of her as if she was carrying HIS baby (because that one episode they were doin it, I'm sure that's what knocked her up...not the guy she was living with and planning to marry.....I'm sure they never had sex)...and yet he doesn't care about her enough to call her and see how she's making out, how she's doing after just "losing" her baby?! Basically it was just pitty care before, and now that he's free....or at least thinks he is....he has nothing to do with her. Maybe she'll get that hint and just NEVER come back.....but yet I doubt that and am bracing myself for the big appearance in the next few weeks.

Ok...well I guess that's all I have for now....I know it was long....but if you managed to read it all, I welcome others comments and insights into this social phenomon. Chewy...I know you have some.
