I watched tonight and felt nothing. I remember loving you. I remember staying quiet for an hour just to hear you speak. I was always with you. And now bitterness.Marissa, I realize now you were the keystone of my OC religion. Ryan's transparent acting bores me. Summer's weight loss and shrunken eye sockets scare me. Seth's caustic lines (that took a team of writers to fashion; I could be that witty if I had a team working for me) produce neither jealously or rage. Just apathy. Just emptiness. Just regret.
You're dead. The show will soon be dead. You join my other television lovers and their dead shows--Jennifer Garner in Alias, Angie Harmon in Law & Order, and my brief affair with Heather Graham in Scrubs.

I asked Matt the other night, "Is The OC even still on?"
ReplyDeleteMaybe because I rarely watch Fox, but I haven't seen any ads for it. I had almost forgotten Marissa's untimely demise.
But mind you, last spring I was there when it happened, glued to my TV set, as it were. I was shocked and sad for Ryan (even though Marissa, despite being a looker, is really quite obnoxious), and I said to myself, "Welp, there goes that show."
(We'll always have season 1...it's what I say to myself about Alias, too.)
ReplyDeleteI have season 1 and 2 on dvd, and it's just so I can watch the last episode of season 1 followed by the first episode of season two, over and over. Actually the first couple episodes of season 1 are really moving after having watched season two. But it is dead now.
ReplyDeletei need to watch more tv.
ReplyDeleteHipsters don't watch the OC, and if they do, it's only for the irony.
ReplyDeleteWhen you only get one channel, that being the CW, you kind of forget that primetime exists.
ReplyDeleteNo fair, how come I don't get the CW? We don't have cable anymore and basically all we get (in any sort of clarity--stupid rabbit ears) is Fox. Now since I would much rather be watching me some Veronica Mars than some crappy OC, where's the justice in that?
ReplyDeleteP.S. Don't most people watch The OC for the irony? Well, that and Samaire Armstrong's awesome hair (1st season)?
