The O.C.

[Ananas]

Anyone notice the amount of Star Wars involvement with this series? First the trailer debuts attached to one episode, they feature the video game this week, and next week Lucas guest stars. Anyone else think George has a thing for teenage melodrama?

[StevenRichardsRules]

I didn't really notice. They only really started advertising for it on any channel last week. Anyone feel like they're rushing to hype this?

[EndOfAnEra]

Lucas would have been a better guest-star on That 70's Show.

I'm the only person in my class at college who doesn't like The OC...I watched one episode and was just turned off immediately, I see nothing special in it at all. I can't relate to a bunch of American rich kids in California, sorry.

I'm one of the few people at my college who doesn't like The OC either. I've seen parts of episodes in (former) friends room. And well, I didn't like it. Not sure why it's so popular.

[Gene Kiniski]

I like the O.C., but lately I've been turned off to it. I've found myself comparing it to One Tree Hill, which is now my favorite show, and it just doesn't match up - at all. Hopefully Season 3 will be better and the last few episodes of 2.

Loved the season finally tonight!

Started watching at the beginning of this season thanks to my girlfriend, am hooked on it. (Y)

Loved the ending. It wasn't an "Oh my God this is going to change things forever" type of ending, but just perfect.

Loved the drama when *cough* was *couched*, anyone know what song was playing during that?

Tate back kind of is a little eh-eh for me because I didn't see season 1, so I don't really know him that well. Two thumbs up.

I liked the finale, but NOTHING will every beat the finale to the first season. Just the last scene and the pure emotional value of it. Brody made the last season's finale off the charts.

Likely meant all the drama that surrounded him taking off and leaving with little mention to his family and friends.

I dug this finale more than last season's (which I also thought rocked). Seeing Jimmy and Hailey again was great (the dig at Hailey's stint on "North Shore" was funny) on a sentimental level, and Josh Schwartz's writing was absolutely solid in this episode. I'm almost certain the music playing at the end was by Frou Frou, although the exact song evades me. It'll be up on the official site tommorow. All in all great episode, by far the best of season 2.

[paidelr]

Just watched the cliffhanger again and I REALLY like how the music goes with the drama and events. Loved the song choice and how they did it.

After some searching, these are the songs that are shown so far for the episode.

Episode 24 - "The Dearly Beloved"

* "El Manana" by Gorillaz - Buy Now!

* "Crosses" by Jose Gonzalez - Buy Now!

* "Hide and Seek" by Imogen Heap - Buy Now!

* "You're Not The Law" by The Dead 60's - Buy Now!

* "An Honest Mistake" by The Bravery - Buy Now!

* "Hot Ride" by The Prodigy - Buy Now!

* "Friends" by Ryan Adams & The Cardinals - Buy Now!

* "Twenty Two Fourteen" by The Album Leaf - Buy Now!

[Ananas]

It'll be Imogen Heap then. Imogen Heap is half of Frou Frou.

Im a huge fan of the show, I've seen every episode and have season 1 on DVD, and tonight just made the season. Like the beginning of the season struggled a bit with the storylines, but the latter episodes were great. A lot of unexpected things happened during the episode. I mean I watched the end and I was like "I totally didn't see that coming." And the whole Jimmy moving back thing I didn't really expect, but it would be interesting to see where that leads the whole story, I mean with what happened to Kirsten, the whole Ryan-Trey-Marissa Saga, Seth and Summer, there are just so many things that are going on right now, and so many things that need to be resolved. AHH I can't wait for season 3.

G'damn that was a great finale...like usual it mixed in a few great laughs with the North Shore dig and of course Seth with the Oliver reference, heh

[Hugar Twriker Eats Spam]

did I miss the north shore reference? what was it?

[THIR13EN²]

I thought it was a really good episode, not as great as the last season finale, but I think it would have been kinda better to see Oliver come back and shoot the place up. Oliver is one freaky little bastered, anyone catch the remark by Seth when him and Ryan where in the pool? Anyway, I didn't expect Jimmy to return, I thought I read somewhere that he left the show, and that he got signed for another somewhere else. I think Sandy is the best part of The OC right now, he's just the coolest down to earth guy. This season, right up to the end, it seemed like Marisa's character kinda just filtered off...maybe it was just me.

[Hugar Twriker Eats Spam]

ohh right right...

Well I thought the show was great, except for one area, what happen with the Summer/Seth/Zack thing? So is summer Seth's now? What happen with Zack and the meeting? So is Lucas making it a film?

[y2jerichoholic]

it was a great episode last night, i heard mischa barton could be leaving the show, i hope that is a rumor because i'd hate to see her go.
