Here we go again! Ryan's looking like he's going to get involved with Taylor- but not before he vents his "rage" in a way that neither respects nor honors Marissa. Basically, he hasn't changed much.

Rules

1. DO NOT bash Marissa's role in any pairing if you are going to bash one of her pairings; the rants need to stay rooted in the other character's behavior.

2. Criticism of statements in the press and acting of her co-stars is allowed. Complaints about the treatment of her by superiors as well as statements in the press is allowed. Don't escalate it to personal bashing.

3. DO NOT personally bash anyone close to Mischa.

4. Don't attack each other. This is not a debate thread.

***The talk about Josh Schwartz is getting a little excessive. No threats of violence, even in a joking manner, and no bringing his personal life or making sexually inappropriate jokes. Please keep it to his professional behavior. Or unprofessional, more accurately.

LOL and I happen to be watching "Titantic " too LMAOOOOOOO

[CreekFreak]

Actually, Ryan has changed, Liz. Instead of waiting .02 seconds to become involved with someone else, it's now down to .01. Go Ryan!

[behrlover18]

You know and hate how they say that Marissa is the "probmatic girl" WTF...

[CreekFreak]

I didn't mean that Ryan never made any mistakes b/c he did. Like u said though Ryan has learned from them and kept on going where Marissa never seemed to learn from hers and drug herself down deeper and deeper everytime.

Ryan learned from his mistakes? Is that why he beat the **** out of Volchok? Yeah.

Ryan is a manwhore?!!??!!

My friend said me that OC has been cancelled in Italy after 11 episodes (Marissa's campaign won )

[CreekFreak]

LOL! Ryan will always be a manwhore by the looks of it.

Is it really cancelled in Italy? Ha. That's priceless. Although the people here still think they're gonna get a Season 5. Sure they will.

[Gio Gio]

OC was the first show in Italy. Now the first shows are House, GA, CSI.

My friend said me that the network cancelled it. If it's true, this isn't good especially because the italian people loved this show and now the ratings are low.

[CreekFreak]

Something tells me The OC will be over after 16 episodes, anyway. I just have this feeling. I wasn't sure before, but the way they're rushing this Ryan/Taylor thing and involving him with another girl so quickly, means they feel like they have to wrap it up at this point. There's no time for Ryan to really do anything else. And...all Josh knows how to do is write contrived relationships.

Which brings me to the whole idea that because Ryan/Taylor are opposites, that this relationship will somehow work. Wasn't EVERYONE Ryan has been with thus far the opposite of Marissa? I mean, as Josh wrote it to be? They're all "fun" and "hilarious" and "smiles!" No relationship in the whole world is all fun and games. Life doesn't work like that.

And that is my rant for today. I should have my own blog.

[behrlover18]

My rant for today... lol

No matter what "airhead" type character they want to go with Ryan, Hello it will always come in Second best, and it never even touch on what R/M used to be so good luck trying to pulling a " drama free" relationship out the writers ****.

[Cristofle]

You should have your own blog, Jess. LOL.

Ryan is no better than Marissa (in theory, he's worse because he's arguably less self aware. Sometimes low self esteem is just common sense, lol. He needs to get that back). She's self destructive. He's other people destructive. She drinks. He gets violent. And he never, EVER learns. He is no better than the guy who was randomly punching people in the model home; the only difference is he now seems to think he's better than he actually is. He fools people into believing he's different and then buys into their praise that they're giving him on false pretenses.

[CreekFreak]

I don't know where they're getting their proof that Ryan somehow learned from his mistakes. Do they not remember the end of Season 3? Volchok. Stealing a car. Getting Marissa involved in his bull**** again. Etc, etc, etc. Although RM owned at the banter. So underrated, I tell you!

ETA: WHY is Fanbolt still talking about Marissa and Ryan/Marissa? And it's not even about her death; they talk about RM like there's still something to argue about. Don't they have anything else to talk about? No? That's what I thought.

[Cristofle]

Added a little banner!

Well, they could analyze Ryan. I'm just not sure what they'd do for the rest of the minute.

[addicted2theOC]

The banner is SO PRETTY!

The OC sucks. Mischa was the only one who could actually act (IMHO). Mischa should be on GA. They all can act, and their storylines dont suck. I hateeeee the OC.

[Cristofle]

LMAO! Sarah. Mindy and Peter aside, word.
