...here we come

wow. mr. schwartz, you've outdone yourself. what a finale! and let me say - i did NOT see that coming. but i liked it. i liked it a lot. with all the perfectly placed flashbacks and references to holly's party, tj, the model home, and let's not forget "hallelujah", you were obviously trying to remind fans of what was and always will be the oc's best season. and well, it worked.

the tearful goodbyes and reminiscing allowed us to forgive that some things were resolved rather quickly (seth's arrest) and some questions were left unaddressed (sandy and kirsten made up?).

but i must say of all the main characters, i'm glad it's marissa that is gone. i couldn't picture the oc without seth, summer, ryan, or even sandy. marissa's storylines were becoming uninteresting and repetitive. although i would have been happy with her simply leaving to work on her father's yacht, we needed a way to keep ryan, seth, and summer in newport. but i will miss the increasingly rare, but treasured scenes with just the four friends.

so what's in store for season 4? will taylor finally have a shot at the inner circle? will jimmy make it home for marissa's funeral and cause trouble between sandy and kirsten or even julie and doc roberts? will ryan and summer ever hook up? (you can't tell me you haven't noticed there have been more one on one scenes with these two lately, not to mention the random touchy feeliness!)

it's going to be a long summer. well i guess there's only one thing that can fill the void! the oc mix 6. buy it. and might i recommend mix 1, 2, 4, and 5 (in that order). man i'm such a sucker.

until then i'll leave you with this - in memory of the fantastic four:

Marissa: Hey, how come you're the brains? I'm the one who talked us back into that club.
Seth: I'm sorry. I'm the brains.
Ryan: You can be the beauty.
Marissa: Okay, thanks.
Summer: Great, and what am I, Cohen?
Seth: Uh, the boobs?
[Summer hits him]
Seth: Uh, the bitch?
Summer: Okay, I'll take the boobs.
Seth: Hey. So will I.
[Summer laughs]
[Later]
Marissa: See, I think I should be the brains.
Ryan: No, Seth's the brains.
Marissa: Well, you're clearly not the beauty.
Ryan: Ooooh, and now someone's the bitch.
[smiles]
