The OC: The one Long Commercial

So, here's the thing...

I used to love this show. Those of you who know me personally would understand this.

Season 1 was indeed "all time".

Season 2. Blah.

Season 3? Apart from some cute s/s moments, it's been boring.

Four episodes, and then 4 weeks of nothing while we wait for all of America to get over their baseball obsessions. (Still not sure why a country with 100+ channels needs to show baseball on ALL of them, but we'll just move along shall we...)

So, four weeks of waiting for 3x05.

I watch it. I think: "What the hell was the point of that?"

Seriously, 43 minutes of non-plot-advancing rubbish. Ryan's leaving, Ryan's staying, Ryan's back in school. Yawn. NEXT! It's like when you're watching a show and there's commercial breaks, and you get up to make yourself another cup of coffee while Foschini tells you that a new fashion account will entitle you to 300 bucks off your next purchase or something. The only difference between a commercial and The OC lately, is that you get up to make the coffee while Ryan decides whether to be a fisherman or an architect... oh and APPARENTLY Marissa really loves him, even though she spends all her time with other guys... Ugh, Foschini's offer is sounding pretty good right now.

This article should summarize it a lot better.
