Well, I'm excited. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

This episode should be called "Summer's Revenge". [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img]

Tom Willington must be a new character.

I can't wait for this episode.

I looked up Michael Reilly Burke, the guy that plays Tom... he's been in some stuff I've never heard of. Though he's done guest appearances on many famous shows.

Summer has been cracking me up in every single scene. [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img]

Luke looked odd in golf clothes.

"I was being sarcastic."
"So was I. Which we never used to do, until Cohen showed up and taught us irony. Jackass."

Hahaha. I love Summer. [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img]

Summer is hilarious in this episode, and I am happy that so far she is just ragging on Seth. She isn't trying to steal him so far, she is just making fun of him, I love it. Payback is a bitch, and her name is Summer!!

Simone

That. Was. Hysterical.

When Summer said they could be related I was laughing so hard.

Oliver is a coniving jerk! I don't even ship R/M and I hate him.

Seth in golf clothes? So unbelievably dorky. I'm sorry sweetie, they don't work on you.

Summer/Luke! Summer/Luke! Eeee!

Seth and Anna are so cute. [img]smilies/sigh.gif[/img] I love how relaxed they are with eachother.

Oliver=psycho. Leave Marissa alone, man. Ryan, please, knock him out and put us out of our misery.

Summer. Before this little jealousy thing was kind of cute, and I figured I could deal with it for a few episodes. Now? I can't really deal with it anymore. Step off.

I have said it before, but I shall say it again. "Oliver scares the crap out of me" Really come on. That is just creepy.

Raise your hand if you think Seth would have been futzing with his humidifier and yakking about being an old guy if Summer was waiting in bed. No one? Hm. That's what I thought. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Oh, that? And Oliver is *****ing scary! I'm terrified by the actor's skill with being a complete manipulative psycho. Wow.

And I'm so glad Summer came off as taking revenge and being pissed, rather than pathetic and trying to break them up. Good job.

My thoughts 20 minutes into the ep...

- Marissa's facial expressions are really starting to annoy me.
- Awww Oliver, I want to like you, even though you are an evil crazy bastard.
- AHHHHHHH, THE ARMS! *melts*
- Seth, you wacky wacky fool.
- "Oh god the ugly americans are coming back"...BWAH! <3 Sandy
- Couplefest 2004. Nerdy neurotic and drippy pixie chick. Cohen teaching them irony? Cohen's a bedwetter! I <3 PsychoSummer!
- Okay...S/A? Less annoying to me than they were last week.
- Jenga sucks! Wooo! Go Summer!
- "Hey Chino! Why don't you ride with me?" Luke & Ryan 4Evah, hee hee.

I loved Summer tonight. Finally the b!tch is back

R/M: Break up already. Marissa doesn't deserve Ryan

The Adults: Don't care for Hailey. Love Kandy more and more. They are the coolest TV parents ever.

S/A: Zzzzzzzzzz

Oliver is a freak. I'm disappointed that everyone doesn't see it.

Overall, I enjoyed the ep because of Summer. Rachel Bilson ROCKS [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
