The OC Season 2 Finale

So The OC is a lame prime time soap opera. I know it. I'm still addicted. But Season 2 wasn't as good as Season 1. So what about tonight?

Well, with Cal dead there had to be the funeral. Everyone showed up- well except for the illegitimate daughter he had. But let us not fuss over details.

Kirsten and her drinking problem. If you’ve watched the show, you’ve known it was there. Well she finally spun out of control to where her family staged an intervention. She’s off to rehab—for the summer I am sure.

Julie and her ex, Jimmy, seem to be getting back together. Again. And this time Marissa seems ok with it.

Marissa tells Summer she was attacked by Trey. And in true Summer fashion, she is a good friend but concerned. She lets Seth know who breaks the news to Ryan. And because Trey is Ryan’s brother and Marissa is his girlfriend, Ryan isn’t too pleased.

And the music tonight was weird.

Yeah, like I said, it is a lame soap opera. But my goodness I can’t turn away.

No one is as attractive this year as they were in Season 1. Though I am starting to like Marissa, she sure is learning to throw a punch, or shoot a gun. I find myself rooting “Go! Skinny Bitch, Go!”

They’re showing the whole season again over the summer. So you still have time to get addicted.

    "Go Skinny Bitch...Go!" That'd be the perfect title for the alleged Kaitlin spin-off, once they age her ten years and make her hot. (bad idea #2 for the show, Oliver was the first.)
    The finale was a very strong episode. Probably the best one this year. The "once and for all" uttered by Ryan could've done without that, but the fight between brother's was great; you hated Trey all over again (for the 4th time)(he was definately reaching for the phone, yikes!) Though after the gunshot, Trey reminded me of the Paul Reuben's character in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". Marissa maybe finally started to deal with the attempted rape, with probaly the best acting from Ms. Barton ever. Maybe "The O.C" is a "lame prime time soap opera", but it's good and strong. Good, no, exceptional acting coming from the Galagher, Mckenzie, Rowan, Brody, and Barton. They're acting circles around OTH with the exception of Moira and Craig. Writers need to get it together though, there's a lot left of these characters that I want to see and hopefully that happens next season. P.S. Who's the daddy?

    If you do a google search for The OC Music you'll find tons of sites that list the music from each episode. Someone else posted a link to one of those sites in a previous comment as well.

    I dont think so, that would totally ruin the show. I know there are rumors of Marrissa being arrested for shooting trey.

    What the HELL happened to the OC?? I remember when it was all about Ryan Marrisa Seth and Summer...and Marissa's drinking and her bi sexuality... Who are all these other crazy people? The scenes are much shorter and like daytime soaps with the dim lighting and close head shots. The scenes used to better and longer... The new OC sucks.

    The beginning of Season 2 was lame. But it was getting there at the end of Season 1. But towards the end of the second season it was getting better. I'm just glad Marissa isn't some weak whiney bitch anymore. Now she's a whiney bitch that kicks some ass.
