scott61o.c.: the blog
i tried not to buy the first season of the o.c. on dvd. i really did. i told myself i already owned too many dvds i hadn't watched yet. but in the end, i had two best buy gift cards. and every time i thought about using them to buy something else, it just didn't feel right.

so far, i've watched episodes 1 (without the commentary) and 2. i also watched the less-than-stellar bonus featurettes. i never saw the summer season, so the first several episodes are all "new to me," to borrow a phrase from nbc. it's funny to see how the characters have changed. i'm also not sure the show would have hooked me, had i tuned in from the beginning.

as for tonight's episode, i have a few observations:
•judging by the music, when ryan and lindsay makeout, they travel back in time. that's neat.
•i'm not sad to see d.j. go. when you combine the actor who played him with mischa barton, you get 1/8 of an actor. plus, he wore a tie with a short-sleeved dress shirt.
•whatever happened to marissa's little sister? why didn't she get to be in the family photo?
•tonight's ending was lame. and really, sorta 80s-sitcom-ish. plus, who invited zach to kirsten and sandy's anniversary party. and is it just me, or did it look like the cast was going to sing Kumbya at the end?
