I'll re-post my thoughts from the Seth thread because I'm lazy.

Seth made me laugh in so much of this episode, and then practically want to cry in other parts. But the episode was focused on him, that was cool. I loved it when he first got the job at the Bait Shop, and he's like "I'm going to clean the urinals...*whistles and walks away from Ryan, walks back* I don't know where they are..."

Felt bad for him when he kissed Summer and she ran away, but he really shouldn't have done that. Oh well, I still loved him.

And the end scene where he saw Summer with Zach and her dad at the club, and then went and saw Marissa? SO sad! I felt so much for him right then, when he said something to Marissa that was like "If someone told me last year that we would be the two loneliest people in Newport, I would have never believed them. Or at least I wouldn't have believed the part about you."

Oh, and I love the previews, with that hat...I didn't fully understand what Lindsay called it, but it's like a Chrismukkah hat.

How cute. And he gave it to Summer, aww.

I loved Seth in this episode. As usual he cracked me up. I thought it was hilarious when he was helping Alex carry those glasses

I liked his conversation with Ryan in the beginning about wanting to be selfless and how he tried to deny wanting Summer back. I loved his reaction after he kissed Summer. He can't help it. He luffs her

The ending was pretty sad. Poor guy. He loses Summer and his only source of comfort is Marissa

I think she called it a Yamaclaus

Bee Serious · 11-19-2004, 07:26 PM

I think it was a Yamaclaus! That's too funny.

I love these caps of him. I know he's all sad and stuff in these ones, but he still looks soo cute. Aw, Seth.

groovyk1 · 11-19-2004, 09:56 PM

Thanks for the caps.

I just watched the episode and I thought it was sweet of Seth to take that job just to get the tickets. I felt kinda sad when he went to say sorry to Summer and she was introducing Zack to her Dad.

I wrote a long-as post at the O.C thread...so I'll summarise all the things about Seth here

The things I liked about this episode -
*The comeback of the skateboard and bike. A throwback to the early episodes from S1.
*The presence of Marissa. Totally didn't bug me at all, except for one comment. She didn't get as much screen time and that was probably a good thing too.
*The Jimmy/Julie interaction. As well as the Sandy/Kirsten, and Ryan/Lindsay.
*Nerd Gear. At the start of the episode.

*The comeback of the Ew! from Summer, when talking to Marissa. It's about time.

*Seth realising his selfishness, and trying to change himself. And also knowing how he messed up on the Summer situation, wanting to say sorry. People say he's getting annoying. So what? He's got flaws. AB portrays Seth so well, it's hard for me to get pissed off half the time, I should. For me, I could like Marissa if the writing was done WAY better, and MB would portray her better. But none of that has really happened (even though Marissa was okay today).
*Seth/Ryan moments. Still cute, hee.

Things I'm very 'eh' about...
*The kiss at the end. God Seth messed up, but he can't control his love. It's cute, but dude, if he hadn't done that, then everything would've changed (for the better). And at least Seth knew it was the wrong thing to.
*The scene with Seth going to the restuarant. I hate to say this, but he should've took Marissa's advice, by giving Sum some space. But my heart broke as soon as he saw Zach with Sum, and her dad. I cried just a wee bit, because Adam Brody knows how to make my heart break.

And there were things I didn't like as well...bu I'm too lazy to mention it now.

"I have a mop, Ryan!"
"You have a mop, bro!"

The promo was cute! Zach's an ass (I mean how dare he do that!), but Seth was adorable. Hee.

ITA, he shouldn't have gone to the restaurant, but I still felt for him so much.

That part with the mop was awesome.

I love the part where he's talking to Kirsten about something totally NON-Caleb related, and she's trying to reassure him about Caleb, and then he starts faking concern.

NZOCFan · 11-20-2004, 06:55 AM

That scene was funny! Ryan was more concerned about Caleb, then Seth was.

The previews were awesome. I'm thinking they showed previews for the next two episodes that are coming up, instead of just the one coming in two weeks. But, aw was it just me but were Seth and Summer under the misletoe? Because before Sum, kissed him on the cheek (which was so adorable), he looked up. Aw.

~Mia~ · 11-20-2004, 08:36 AM

awww, thanks for those caps Em

I still haven't been able to see the new epis

but with any luck I will be able to by next week, so I will let you know what I think then.

Bee Serious · 11-20-2004, 01:27 PM

I think it was for the next two episodes, too. I was thinking there might be mistletoe but I hadn't seen him look up! Aw!

I hope you get to see the episodes soon, Mia!

My thoughts on The New kids on the block. (and still I get flash backs to the band

)
I loved Seth he just keeps on trying! And the part where he gets the job is soo funny. I think the job is going to be great for him maybe he can “really” learn to be les selfish!!
I also think that the interaction between Marisa and Seth was really good. I don’t like Rissa but that scene just had something good.
And the last scene with that song it just made it complete my hart really broke for Seth!
I haven’t seen any promo’s for next week so I’m really wondering what will happen.
