Assertive Girl!
Forgive me, denizens of The Bloggable OC. There are at least four of you. I am woefully behind. In a sense, that is my fault, but in another, very real sense, it is blogger's fault, because it ate my last enormous post about the last couple of episodes. Whether or not I should have backed them up before attempting to post. Irrelevant.
Since I last wrote: Julie has become CEO of The Newport Group; Sandy, because of his choice to represent the obviously guilty Caleb, has been fired and has grand plans of starting his own firm, which I have to say this is a lot of career change for one guy in one year, from public defender to corporate shill to restauranteur to self-employed guy with bushy eyebrows; Kirsten is bitter over everything; Ryan and Marissa are/not friends; Ryan has a smart, cute new physics lab partner whose eerie resemblance to Lindsay Lohan is reinforced by the fact that her name is actually Lindsay and they're flirting up a storm; Summer is dating Zach but can't stop talking about Seth; Seth has sexual tension and as of last night even the occasional smooch with the pierced tattooed club girl that he works with at the pretend club that exists to give bands like The Killers some vehicle for pretending to perform on The OC, which reminds me that I'm going to see The Killers along with Keane, Snow Patrol, Franz Ferdinand, The Shins, and Modest Mouse next Thursday; Marissa continues to irritate me beyond all reason every time she opens her mouth and also continues to hook up with DJ the yard guy; and everyone is apparently coupled off in an equilibrium that can clearly only last us ten minutes into next week's episode, if that.
Last night's episode was pretty good, though. I like the lab partner development, although Lindsay is just a little too much like Anna, which makes me think we have exactly one character type for Assertive Girl who is just gonna get recycled from bit part to bit part, and further makes me wonder how it's gonna go when Anna comes back for a few episodes this season, which we know is going to happen.

Lindsay isn't just Lindsay Fauxhan, she also looks like Melissa Joan Hart. I'm just sick of seeing plot lines coming from a mile away. Did you notice a few weeks ago that the owner of the Bait Shop's name is Nat? It was just a passing reference, but Mike and I cracked up. Way to go all Peach Pit on us...
oooh i just watched yesterday's episode, and let me tell you having spotted the matching red hair dye in like the first 15 minutes i soooooo called the sooo non-twisty plot twist. yesssssssss! it almost made the tedium of the rest of the episode bareable. if that's how you spell bareable. i think lindsay fauxhan is going to be around for at least another episode...i miss the luke-julie cooper subplot though. i don't think they can top that one...
cassie? no 'O.C.' creswell
