It’s official. The Snook loves The O.C. I even caught him playing air piano during the theme song tonight. (The only other show we do that for is Buffy.) We squealed our entire way through the most recent episode, which involved Ryan becoming Marissa’s boyfriend, Ryan telling Marissa that her mom is boinking Seth’s grandpa, and Summer finally realizing she likes Seth while he’s on a date with Anna. My own personal snort-Chardonnay-out-the-nose moment came when the Snook, musing aloud about Ryan’s past romantic relationships, actually wondered: “What is the difference between bitches and hos?” God bless ‘im. Oh, and I am developing a very unhealthy crush on Tate Donovan. *sigh* Life’s too short to not enjoy crap television once in a while.

Woohoo, good for him! (Admittedly, I don’t know what the difference between bitches and hos is either). I grow more addicted to it each episode, too. I’m also finding myself with a growing crush on Ryan… those lips are made for kissing! *sigh*

I know! He’s so much cuter when he smiles. I squealed like a girl when he was all, “…boyfriend??” I much prefer funny guys to broody guys. (Hmm, didn’t use to be that way. I must be growing up.)
Rodd also made me rewind the part where Seth did his “Oh my God, am I THAT guy?” speech, saying it exemplified his Xander Harris-like behavior.

Dude, I’ve always preferred funny to broody. Wise beyond my years?

Ditto about usually preferring funny. That’s why I’m surprised about my Ryan crush and my lack of lust for Seth (who definitely has an air of Xander about him!)
Roll on Tuesday night!

I’m almost scared to watch, Niffler. The Ryan/Marissa relationship progressed so quickly that it’ll never last. Going by the Dawson’s Creek model, I fully expect that she’ll end up with Seth five years down the road. Which is nice because his character is funny and all, but he just doesn’t rock the wife beaters in the way that Ryan can… 🙂

Haha, definitely! Ryan and Marissa will break up, then Ryan and Summer will get it on (ahh). Then Marissa will discover that she’s actually been in love with Seth all this time. Then Ryan and Seth with fight it out for Marissa in a boat race. Then… oh, the possibilities are endless.

Oh god. The boat race. Now I’m going to have to dig out my old VHS tape of that one! Luckily thanks to Luke it appears that we will be spared the horrific episode where Marissa has to call Ryan and get permission before losing her virginity to Seth on the annual senior ski trip. *shudder*

Oh my GOD. That was soooo bad. Ahhhhh.
